by Ewalush

Fishing Gun is a Forge equipment mod that adds a ranged fishing weapon with several tiers, each casting a set number of lines at once.

ForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1

What it does

Each Fishing Gun shoots multiple fishing lines in one cast, and the number of lines and the durability depend on the tier. The lowest tier fires 4 lines with 64 durability, while the top tier fires 32 lines with 1024 durability. Higher tiers spread their lines wider, and the top tier carries an exclusive enchantment. The mod comes with its own custom enchantments, and the gun was built from scratch by its author.

The mod is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with a single 1.0.0 file dated 2026-06-25. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Enchantment Descriptions and Just Enough Items (JEI) are optional, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.

Key features

  1. Six gun tiers

    Six tiers range from 4 to 32 lines, with durability rising from 64 to 1024 and reel speed increasing with each tier.

  2. Patient Angler enchantment

    Patient Angler extends the bite window, giving the player more time to reel in before a catch slips away.

  3. Mecha Fishing Gun

    An exclusive gun reels in the line on its own when a catch bites, then casts a new bobber out for hands-free fishing.

  4. Custom enchantments

    The mod adds its own enchantments, which can be applied to the guns and extend how each one fishes.

What the author says

Patient Angler - extends the bite window, giving you more time to reel in before the catch slips away. For each level, it extends it by a second. Auto-Reel - exclusive to the Mecha Fishing Gun, automatically reels in each line the moment something bites and casts a fresh bobber back out, for hands-free fishing.
