    Brief Description: freely swimming fish drop Exp when killed, normally exp is not dropped due to server settings, i found this as a potential exploit.

    Instructions: locate any live fish underwater, and by killing it, it will drop an exp orb.

    How many times did you recreate this?: i myself 4 times to confirm it's every fish killed. my daughters were finding nemo and killing non-nemo's and i noticed the exp orb sound. potentially 12 times total.
    *i instructed them to not kill anymore fish at this time*

    Result: exp orb drop upon killing the live fish.

    Expected Result: typical server settings prevent EXP dropping but this currently does not apply to fish.

    I think exp is meant to be dropped, but stacked fish in mining seem to be dropping actual fish.

    I wouldn’t say it’s an exploit. For a while nothing dropped from fish. Something accidentally got changed in a maintenance.

    Also @BrokeMel if stacked fish are dropping in mining, think you should file a separate report :)

    i couldn't think of anything else to call it since there isn't supposed to be exp orbs dropping in the main town world Rising. if it's meant to disable exp orb drops in a certain world but doesn't, and players are able to obtain something they shouldn't be able to, it'd be a possible exploit.

    Except if it's considered not an effective method enough to bother to disable then the report here is a misnomer lol.
    It's just unclear if this is supposed to be happening or not according to server settings, if it's an undesired result then players should avoid hunting fish for fun or exp, otherwise if it's not an issue to be changed/fixed then it's ok to kill fish intentionally with no repercussion of server rules in-case this is a "to be changed/fixed" type of thing.

    Please elaborate on what you mean by "stacked fish in mining seem to be dropping actual fish" in a detail report so I can have it fixed with our stacking plugin.

    Regarding this bug report @NinjarakuPwnz our settings indicate that we allow exp drops from fish in every world.
