Fisheries with Breedable Fish

Certain foods thrown into water draw nearby fish to them, and the fish that reach the food attack it, which gives birth to new fish. Cod and salmon need eight bites of rotten flesh or beetroot, while pufferfish and tropical fish need four bites of spider eye. Each spawned fish copies one of its parents, and tropical fish keep the color and pattern of the parent they copy.

The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. Fish within eight blocks of a valid bait are drawn toward it and can reach it, and food tossed in any water near fish works. Parents enter a cooldown of ten minutes after spawning completes and cannot take part in breeding during that time. Treasure loot from fishing follows the same rules as vanilla, with a surrounding 5x5 area of open water needed; the mod is a bit more forgiving than vanilla, since a fishing attempt that fails the first time checks adjacent 5x5 areas, but open water takes longer to detect. Droppers give random drops to the player.

Installation needs Fabric. Files are published for Fabric only, for 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, with the 1.0.0+26.1.x file for 26.1.2 as the latest. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
