FishNotify
by starsweep
FishNotify plays a sound when a fish bites while the player is fishing with a Fabric client.
What it does
The mod is a client-side Fabric addition that plays an alert sound the moment a fish bites, so a player can watch the water less closely. It is intentionally alert-only and does not reel or recast anything for the player. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu integration is an optional dependency. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. Builds exist for 26.2 only, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.1 for 26.2, published on 2026-08-07 under the MIT License. The source code is public.
Key features
Bite alert sound
A sound plays when a fish bites the line, so the player hears the bite without watching the bobber.
Alert-only design
The mod only signals bites and leaves casting and catching entirely to the player.
Server rule compliance
Because nothing is automated, the mod is built to stay within server rules that forbid automatic fishing.
