Create: Fishing Bobber Detector

The block detects where a fishing bobber sits inside its range and lights up while one is in that area, which helps when choosing a spot for a fish farm. When a fish is caught, the block outputs a redstone signal, so a deployer setup can collect the catch with less manual work. Create's deployer is the usual companion for automatic fish farms, and the block is meant to be combined with it.

Automatic fishing built on vanilla mechanics is harder to set up with Create alone. This mod reduces that work to a single block, and the author notes that setting up the deployer logic and item collection is left to the player. Non-vanilla bobbers from third-party mods are supported when they use the Forge bobber tag. Nether Depths Upgrade is supported as well, since the mod includes integration for it.

The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with a public source code repository and issue tracker. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge on 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Create is required, and the Create version must be 0.5.1.a or higher. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
