Aquaculture 2: Lava Fishing Addon
by Girafi
Lava Fishing Addon lets Aquaculture 2 catch fish from lava, with loot tables split between lava in general and the Nether.
What it does
Aquaculture 2 is required, and the addon works only with it. Lava hooks are registered under the aquaculture namespace, while their recipes sit under the aq2lava namespace. The addon adds hooks that let a player fish lava with Aquaculture 2, and a Nether Star Hook is included that works well in lava.
The loot is split into a main lava fishing file and a main Nether fishing file, each with fish, junk and treasure tables, following the same structure as vanilla overworld fishing. The main files use the same weight and quality values as vanilla, and the remaining tables are empty by default. The addon targets modpack creators, who can extend the results with datapacks that supply their own lava catches.
Key features
Lava fishing hooks
Fishing hooks let Aquaculture 2 catch fish from lava, with a dedicated hook for the purpose.
Nether fishing loot
Nether fishing uses its own loot tables, separate from lava fishing in the overworld.
Empty default tables
Fish, junk and treasure tables for lava are provided empty, so pack makers fill them with their own entries.
Datapack customization
Loot is defined in datapack tables, letting pack authors add or change lava fishing results.

Nether fishing rewards
Players who fish in the Nether receive loot from a table separate from overworld lava fishing.
Who it’s for: Modpack creators and server owners who want lava fishing with their own loot rules. Players who already use Aquaculture 2 and want lava as a fishing source can add the mod as well.
