Here is a quick rundown of the content you can expect to arrive:

Friendly Fishing add-ons in Minecraft Bedrock Edition
In collaboration with Conservation International, the Minecraft Bedrock Edition Marketplace will feature some Friendly Fishing add-ons. It will feature new fishing mechanics and a wide variety of fish to catch. Your goal is to fill up your fish encyclopedia. You will learn about where they usually spawn, how endangered these aquatic creatures are, and more.
