Bountiful Fish
by SmallNickel
Bountiful Fish is a Fabric food and fishing mod that adds new fish, weapons and foodstuffs to the catalog of catchable items.
What it does
The mod adds 17 new fish that can be caught while fishing, along with other fishing-related items that make the activity more varied. Three new weapons and four foodstuffs round out the additions, and a new wood type appears as building material. Several new advancements track progress through the added content, and the fish sit alongside the vanilla catch table rather than replacing it.
Client and server: both the server and every player need the mod, so it has to be installed on both sides. Bountiful Fish is published for Fabric only, with the latest file targeting 1.21.11, released as version 1.1.1 on 2026-04-25. It is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. Its first file came out on 2026-03-23.

17 new fish

Additional items tied to fishing give the activity more to collect and use beyond the catch itself.
Three new weapons
Three weapons are added to the item set, including the Elder Trident and tools built from fossilized material.
Foodstuffs and advancements
Four new foodstuffs are craftable from the new fish, and several advancements mark milestones in the added content.
