fishbaiter
by whynotdogie1
Fishbaiter lets players choose a bait for their fishing rod, and each bait draws from its own loot table.
What it does
Fishbaiter is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that adds a bait system to fishing. Players attach a bait item to the rod and catch different results depending on which bait they use. The bait choices are made with a data component on each item, so the set of baits is fixed by what the item carries. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Selectable bait
Players pick a bait before casting, which changes what the rod can pull from the water.
Bait loot tables
Each bait is linked to its own loot table, so the catches differ from one bait to the next.
Bait data component
Bait behavior is stored in a data component on the item, which lets modpack makers define new baits.
