Angler Fishing

by tll_zed

Angler Fishing is a Fabric client mod that turns catching fish into a tracked collection with XP, badges and milestone titles, without changing the game's fishing.

FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21.10 – 1.21.11

What it does

The mod is an optional add-on that gives fishing activities a light layer of structure. It identifies each fish that enters the inventory, sorts it into one of 71 species with a rarity from Common to Legendary, and records the catch. A collection book, opened with the J key, lists the species caught so far, with counts, lifetime totals, the longest streak and the total time spent fishing.

The mod is client-side only: only the player's own client needs it, and servers do not have to install anything. It is cosmetic and informational. It does not change what a server gives, does not automate fishing, and sends no data anywhere, since progress is saved locally on the player's machine. Fresh installs show plain vanilla Minecraft until a theme is chosen, so the mod stays out of the way by default. Files target 1.21.10 – 1.21.11 for Fabric, and the latest file is 1.0.1 for 1.21.11, released 2026-06-28.

Key features

  1. Species identification

    Each caught fish is matched to one of 71 species, and its rarity is shown in colour from Common up to Legendary.

  2. Experience levels and streaks

    Catches earn XP toward player levels, with a small bonus for back-to-back catches that builds a streak.

  3. Badges per species

    Each species has Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond badges with thresholds that scale with rarity, so rare fish take longer to badge.

  4. Milestone titles and toasts

    Titles progress from Novice up to Legendary Angler, and on-screen toasts announce each new find, badge upgrade, level gain and treasure catch.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players who like a personal fishing goal without changing the server's rules will find the mod useful. It suits single-player worlds and multiplayer servers alike, since it only adds a personal layer to the client.

Questions

Does Angler Fishing need to be installed on the server?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Where is the player's fishing progress stored?

Progress is saved locally on the player's own machine. The mod sends no data anywhere.

Does the mod change fishing rewards?

No. It is cosmetic and informational and does not alter what a server gives or automate the fishing itself.

What the author says

AnglerXP is a client-side fishing progression layer for The Pen (play.thepen-mc.net). It quietly watches what you reel in and turns it into levels, a collection book, badges, milestone titles, unlockable HUD themes, and a prestige system — purely as a personal overlay. It is cosmetic and informational only. It does…
