Fishing Frenzy
by VgLevelUp
Fishing Frenzy adds new fishing rods, baits, fish species and a fish-breeding system that change what a player can catch and how.
What it does
Fishing Frenzy changes the fishing experience. Custom rods give each type a different chance of catching specific fish, while many baits raise lure luck and can help a single cast bring in more than one fish. New fish follow their own spawning conditions, tied to height ranges, biomes and weather, so the same pond can hold different catches at different times. Some fish can be bred. A configuration option lets every fish be found anywhere, without the custom conditions.
The mod requires Architectury API and Fabric API, so both must be installed alongside it on Fabric. Fishing Real and Mod Menu are optional. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for game versions 1.21 – 26.2, and the code is open source under the MIT License. The project is still in early development, so the list of fish and features may change.
Key features
Custom fishing rods
Several rod types can be given bait, and each type shifts the chances of catching particular fish.
