# Bait

Baits are items that can be applied to a fishing rod to modify its behavior and improve fishing results.

### Mechanics

* When a bait is applied to a fishing rod, a corresponding **Lore** is added to the rod.
* When the player casts the rod, the **use effect** of each bait is activated.
* Effects from multiple baits **stack**.
* Once a bait’s durability is depleted, it **disappears**.

### Types of Baits

#### 1. **Eternal Bait**

* Provides **permanent effects** while applied to the rod.
* Can be **removed at any time**.
* **Does not consume durability**.

```
"game.bait_lore": "%bait_name% §7%amount%"
```

#### 2. **Single-Use Bait**

* Consumed **after each use**.
* Example: If 5 single-use baits are applied, they will be consumed over 5 casts.

```
"game.bait_lore_1": "%bait_name%"
```

#### 3. **Durable Bait**

* Comes with a **durability value** (e.g., 30).
* When applied, displays `[current/max]` durability in its Lore (e.g., `[30/30]`).
* Durability decreases **with each use**, and the bait disappears when it reaches 0.

```
"game.bait_lore_2": "%bait_name% §7[%now%/%max%]"
```

### Bait Configuration Example

```json
{
  "item": {
    "material": "GLOW_BERRIES",
    "display_name": "<#EE9444>Bobber multiplier",
    "lore":[
      "<#D1823C>Bobber count: <accent>+2"
    ]
  },
  "durability": 0,
  "modificator": {
    "drop_inc": 0,
    "drop_health": 0,
    "speed_inc": 0,
    "size_inc": 0,
    "player_health": 0,
    "luck_inc": 0.0,
    "auto_fishing": false,
    "bobber_amount": 2
  },
  "conflict":["ALL"]
}
```

**`id`** - name of file

&#x20;\
**`item`** - item configuration. [LiteItem](/paw-studio-docs/overview/liteitem.md)

**`durability` -** determines the **type** of bait:

* `0` → **Eternal Bait** (never consumed)
* `1` → **Single-Use Bait** (consumed once per cast)
* `>1` → **Durable Bait** (has durability; decreases per use)

**`modificator`** - modifier configuration. [Modificators](/paw-studio-docs/litefish/modificators.md)

**`conflict`** - defines compatibility rules with other baits:

* List bait IDs that **cannot** be equipped together with this bait.
* `"ALL"` means this bait must be used **alone** — no other baits can be applied simultaneously.

### Creating a Bait

1. Go to the `/lfish menu` and click the `Bait`.
2. Put the bait item in the `Add` button to create a new bait config. All bait files are stored in `server/plugins/LiteFish/baits`.
