Bait

Bait is used during fishing. There are various types of baits that can be used, but each fishing rod has a certain set of baits you can use with it. The higher tier of rod, the more bait is compatible with it.

The ways of getting bait vary. Minnow can be caught and used for bait, then leaves can be sifted in a Sifter to get grasshoppers.

Here are baits that can be acquired through the Sifter: There are certainly other ways to retrieve and make baits. Putting a Bee in a Crafting Table will give Bee Bait, also Bread is another bait option. Finally, Raw Minnow is acquired through fishing. Dropping a fish on the ground will make it Raw.
