# Fish Trap

#### How They Work

* Each trap is linked to a **LootMap category**, determining the possible drops.
* The category is selected automatically depending on the location of the block, or it can be linked to any category in the config
* The trap also checks the nearby blocks — for example, **water or lava** — to select the appropriate fishing type.
* You can configure the **catch interval** in seconds, defining how often a `catch` event occurs.
* **Storage size** determines how many items the trap can hold.
* Players can open the trap and take items manually.

**Important:** Fish Traps **do not load chunks** or rely on tick updates. Loot generation happens **on trap opening**, taking into account the time since the last opening.

***

#### Configuration Files

All trap configurations are stored in:

```
plugins/LiteFish/traps
```

**Example Config**

```json
{
  "item": {
    "display_name": "<#0FDCFF>Fish Trap",
    "material": "SCULK_SHRIEKER"
  },
  "catch_time": 30,
  "storage_size": 10
}
```

* **item** — defines the trap item properties.
* **catch\_time** — seconds between automatic catches.
* **storage\_size** — maximum number of items the trap can store.

***

#### Active Traps

All **player-placed traps** are saved in:

```
plugins/LiteFish/data/traps
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://paw-studio.gitbook.io/paw-studio-docs/litefish/fish-trap.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
