Advanced Fishing: Tides
Advanced Fishing: Tides extends the fishing system for Forge 1.20.1 with new fish, rods, enchantments and a chum bucket that changes how bites happen.
What it does
Players who fish in survival or on a server get 49 new fish species, six new cooked fish and a set of new fishing rods, including a Blazing Fishing Pole that can catch fish in lava. Each rod changes the catch, and the mod works alongside the Lure enchantment. A Chum Bucket attracts fish so they bite faster for five minutes after use, and new recipes for Luck Experience potions sit beside the new enchantments.
The mod is a port of the Advanced Fishing mod by NightKosh, rebuilt for Forge 1.20.1 by EmeryTheModder, and it adds new fishing mechanics to the normal fishing system rather than replacing it. Its source code is public under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files target 1.20.1 only and are published for Forge.
Key features
49 new fish species
Forty-nine fish are added to the fishing loot, each with its own catch behavior and item.

Use cases

The Chum Bucket and new rods reduce the time spent waiting for a bite during farming or exploration.
Who it’s for: Players who want more fish, rods and enchantments in a Forge 1.20.1 world, and server owners who run that version and want the fishing content available to every player.
