AlwaysOpenWaterNeoforge

by KuDikan

AlwaysOpenWater is a NeoForge port that keeps water open for fishing, so treasure can be caught from water that is only a single block.

NeoForgeServer-side onlyMIT License1.21.1

What it does

Vanilla fishing treasure normally needs open water, a body of water with enough surrounding space. This mod removes that restriction, so a hook cast over a single water block can also return treasure. The change applies on the server, so players join without installing anything. AlwaysOpenWater is published for NeoForge and 1.21.1 only, under the MIT License, and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Treasure from single blocks

    Fishing treasure can be caught from water that is only one block in size, not just from open water.

  2. Removed open-water rule

    The open-water requirement for fishing treasure is lifted, so a small pond or puddle works as well as a lake.

  3. Server-side change

    The behavior is applied on the server, so only the server needs the mod and players join without it.

What the author says

Tthis is the neoforge port of AlwaysOpenWater. In Minecraft 1.16+, fishing for treasure requires open water, but this mod removes that restriction, allowing you to still catch treasure even in a single block of water.
