FishingHook
by xMeowwwly
FishingHook changes the fishing rod on Forge 1.20.1, letting the hook pull mobs toward the player.
What it does
When the hook of a fishing rod touches a mob, the mob is drawn toward the player who cast it. This replaces the standard fishing rod behaviour in which the rod only reels in caught items. Vanilla fishing rod mechanics, including pulling fishing, are removed while the mod is active. Server owners and players can adjust the behaviour through the mod's settings.
Key features
Hook pulls mobs
A mob touched by the hook is pulled toward the player holding the rod.
New fishing mechanic
The rod gains a mechanic that is not present in vanilla Minecraft.
Vanilla pulling removed
The standard pulling fishing behaviour is taken out, so the rod works only through the new hook mechanic.

How it compares
No Fishing Spam! is server-side only and released under the MIT License, with files for 1.20.1, so only the server needs it. Lightning rod right click runs on client and server, is under All rights reserved and targets 1.20.1 as well. FishingHook is also client and server, released under the MIT License, but it changes the rod's hook rather than limiting spam or adding a right click action.
