Fishing Additions

by Garkatron

Fishing Additions adds new fish, upgraded fishing rods and a fishing net block to the vanilla fishing system, for players who want more from rod fishing.

FabricClient or server, optionalCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0b1.7.3

What it does

The mod adds a set of new fish to find while fishing, along with a fishing net block that can catch fish on its own. Rewards from the vanilla fishing rod are expanded, so the loot table offers more results than in the base game. The Discover Depths feature adds further catches tied to deeper water.

Upgraded fishing rods are craftable in gold, iron and steel, each with its own stats. A net placed in water catches fish automatically about every five minutes, so a player can collect a steady stream without staying at the water. Fishing Additions requires HalpLibe to run, and it is published for Fabric only, on game version b1.7.3 with snapshot builds also published. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0, and the code is not open source. Either side can run it, and neither needs it.

Key features

  1. New fish

    Several new fish species can be caught with a rod, extending the set of results the vanilla rod produces.

  2. Fishing net block

    A placeable block that catches fish automatically in water, collecting a catch about every five minutes.

  3. Upgraded fishing rods

    Rods come in gold, iron and steel tiers, each replacing the vanilla rod with a stronger version.

  4. Enhanced loot

    New rewards are added to the vanilla fishing rod, so ordinary fishing trips can produce unusual items.

Questions

Does Fishing Additions need HalpLibe?

Yes. HalpLibe is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Fishing Additions for the mod to load.

Which loader does Fishing Additions use?

Fishing Additions is published for Fabric only, so a Fabric setup is needed to run it.

Can a server run Fishing Additions without clients having it?

Yes. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so a server can run the mod while players join without installing it.
