Fishing Rod can fish outside water

Fishing rods are able to fish outside of water.

To recreate:

  1. Create a floating water block using /setblock with minecraft:moving_piston surrounding it

  2. Put a block right next and a bit above to set the bobber in position

  3. Send the fishing bobber into the block, it will fall in the water

  4. Wait for the fish to catch multiple times

    • Each time the fish gets caught on the bobber it sinks by a little each time

  5. When the bobber sinks it will fall to the ground, then you can right click to get the item.

2No2Name (a member of Scicraft) used this bug to design a 20w12a AFK fish farm that is more efficient than ilmango's 20w12a AFK fish farm design.

Can't create floating water anymore

I am actually losing my sanity cause of you guys. All you have to do is
/setblock ~ ~ ~ moving_piston
all the blocks around the water to make it float. There's even technical machines that can make floating water. Mango made a video on it literally a few days ago.

This is not invalid

thank you for providing steps to reproduce

Can't reproduce in 1.16.2 pre3: it doesn't create fishing particles when outside the water. Please comment if you can reproduce

It is shown in the video linked to the bug report

even after looking at the video i'm still not seeing how you determine when the fish catches

1. Make floating water
2. Fish
3. Wait till floater falls through water
4. Once its fallen on the ground, pull whenever you want (until it despawns) to fish
5. Fishing on land

Can Confirm still works in 1.16.2

Can confirm in 20w51a.
