Fishing Pond
by datsuns
Fishing Pond lets a world define custom fishing items that award scores, and those scores are shared with everyone playing in the same world.
What it does
Custom fishing items can be added to the game, each with a score value that the mod calculates when a player catches it. Because scores are shared across the world, the catches of every player count toward one common total. Adding new fishing items requires creating a datapack and a resource pack, which define the items and how they look.
A dedicated companion tool called MC Fishing Pond Studio helps generate the additional items. It is distributed as a .exe file from the project's releases page, so it runs outside the game. The mod depends on Fabric API and Architectury API, and both must be installed alongside it. Fishing Pond runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.11, and its code is open source under the MIT License.

How it compares
Noteblock Minecarts is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that works on client and server under the MIT License, but it is not open source and does not touch fishing. Projectile Knockback is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.8 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so players need nothing installed. Algorithm mod is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License where the server is required and the client is optional, and it is not open source.
