Combustive Fishing
Combustive Fishing lets players fish in lava and adds a Blazing Fishing Rod, two Nether fish and a Bone Fish for Forge.
What it does
The Blazing Fishing Rod works like the ordinary fishing rod, except that it can be cast into lava and its catches include loot that a normal rod never returns. Its recipe swaps the sticks of the ordinary rod for blaze rods, and it adds magma cream. It has more durability and better enchantability than the regular rod, and it cannot be repaired or enchanted with the usual anvil methods in the same way.
The Combustive Cod lives only in lava pools in the Nether. When thrown, it explodes on impact, and it is too hot to eat until it drops into water and cools down into a form that can be eaten. The Searing Swordfish shares the same Nether lava pools and is built as a fiery sword-like fish that does not explode. The Bone Fish is found in lava pools in both the Nether and the Overworld; it cannot be eaten, but it attracts wolves and ocelots and gives slightly more bonemeal than a regular bone when used as a pet treat.
The mod is for Forge and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover seven game versions, with 1.16.3-4.0.0.1 for 1.16.5 as the latest, and the code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes it open source.
