In Java Edition, this was changed in 1.16.
Steps to Reproduce
Download and open the vanilla behavior pack (https://aka.ms/behaviorpacktemplate)
Go to loot tables > gameplay > fishing and open junk.json and treasure.json
See that lily pads are in treasure.json instead of junk.json

In 1.16 they did some changes to Fishing to nerf AFK Fishing Farms and since those changes made it kinda tricky to obtain Lily Pads renewably they changed it to Junk Loot so it would still be possible to obtain it with a AFK Fishing set-up

@unknown: Changing all the vowels to have diacritic marks looks like vandalism and interferes with searching. Don't do that again.
