Fishing +
Fishing + replaces the vanilla fishing wait with a skill-based reeling minigame that players must complete to land a catch, and it adds a fish bag and a fish book.
What it does
When a fish bites, a minigame interface appears and the player has to keep an indicator inside a target zone to reel the catch in. Mastering the minigame is said to bring in better and rarer fish. Catches can be stored in a Fish Bag, a special item kept apart from the main inventory, which starts with 54 slots, can be upgraded nine times to 540 slots, and has a bar that shows how full it is. Fish that are caught are no longer collected automatically by the bag and must be collected manually.
A Fish Book records each unique fish the player catches, and a series of new advancements sets fishing goals. A Fisherman villager trades for emeralds at a dynamic price, and heavier fish crates give more value in those trades. Players can turn off the custom villager trade for fish crates and the success screen shown after a catch through the config. The mod is built for Forge 1.20.1 and works alongside other mods that add new fish. Client and server both need it installed, and Quality Food is an optional dependency.
