All Bobber Variants in Tide 2 and the Special Items Used to Craft Them
Every bobber variant in Tide 2 is made with a shapeless crafting recipe, and each one combines the same two base ingredients with a single special item. The shared foundation is a
Slimeball and
Oak Planks. What changes between recipes is the third ingredient, which determines which bobber you receive. Because the recipe is shapeless, the position of the ingredients in the crafting grid does not matter — only the combination of items does.
The Shared Base Recipe
All six bobbers follow the same pattern:
Slimeball
Oak Planks- One special item (listed below)
Place these three items anywhere in a crafting grid and the corresponding bobber is produced. There is no shaped arrangement to memorize, which makes each recipe quick to craft once you have the special item on hand.
Amethyst Bobber
The
Amethyst Bobber is crafted by combining a
Slimeball,
Oak Planks, and an
Amethyst Shard. Amethyst Shards come from amethyst clusters, making this one of the more accessible special ingredients if you have found an amethyst geode.
Heart Bobber
The
Heart Bobber uses a
Heart of the Sea as its special item, alongside the
Slimeball and
Oak Planks. The Heart of the Sea is the ingredient that sets this bobber apart from the others.
Echo Bobber
The
Echo Bobber is made with an
Echo Shard together with the
Slimeball and
Oak Planks. The Echo Shard is the defining ingredient in this recipe.
Netherite Bobber
The
Netherite Bobber requires a
Netherite Ingot as its special item, combined with the
Slimeball and
Oak Planks. Of all the special ingredients listed here, the Netherite Ingot is the one tied to the most demanding material chain.
Enchanted Golden Apple Bobber
The
Enchanted Golden Apple Bobber is crafted using an
Enchanted Golden Apple plus the
Slimeball and
Oak Planks. The Enchanted Golden Apple serves as the special ingredient that distinguishes this variant.
Nautilus Bobber
The
Nautilus Bobber combines a
Nautilus Shell with the
Slimeball and
Oak Planks. The Nautilus Shell is the special item required for this bobber.
Quick Reference
If you are gathering materials for several bobbers at once, remember that every recipe needs one
Slimeball and some
Oak Planks. The full list of special items is:
Amethyst Shard for the
Amethyst Bobber
Heart of the Sea for the
Heart Bobber
Echo Shard for the
Echo Bobber
Netherite Ingot for the
Netherite Bobber
Enchanted Golden Apple for the
Enchanted Golden Apple Bobber
Nautilus Shell for the
Nautilus Bobber
Because each recipe is shapeless, you can craft any of these bobbers by simply placing the three required items into a crafting grid in any arrangement. Stock up on
Slimeballs and
Oak Planks first, then collect whichever special items you need for the variants you want to make.
