fishing-tick-fix
by Lily1123
fishing-tick-fix changes how the Lure enchantment's wait time is rolled, so that a catch can happen on the first tick once the modifiers are applied.
What it does
In vanilla Minecraft, the game rolls a random wait after a fish bites and then subtracts the Lure modifiers. With Lure 5 or higher that subtraction often leaves a negative value, so the roll repeats on the next tick until it turns positive, and the catch can effectively never happen. This Forge mod stops that re-rolling: when the modified delay is negative, it is set to 1 tick instead. The change runs only on the server, so players join without installing anything.
Key features
Negative delays fixed
A modified wait time that falls below zero is set to one tick, so the roll no longer gets stuck repeating.
Lure levels above 1 buffed
Lure 2, for example, gives a fish a 20% chance to be caught immediately, instead of a rare chance under vanilla rules.
Lure 5 and higher catch fish
With Lure levels above 5 a catch happens right away rather than the rod being stuck rerolling.

What the author says
In vanilla, when a fishing line is cast, the game rolls a random time after which a fish will bite, then subtracts 5 seconds from that for each level of the "Lure" enchantment on the fishing rod. If this modified time would be negative, it rolls for a new delay on the next tick, and repeats this process until it is…
