Fish
by VoindexOG
Fish adds a large set of fish to a Forge 1.20.1 world, with fish that spawn in natural surroundings and a new fishing mechanic.
What it does
The mod adds many fish species that turn up at random across a world, so fishing and exploring can reveal species that vanilla Minecraft lacks. Fish have their own item textures, entities, blocks and buckets. One example is the sulphur skitter, found in warm biomes. Geckolib is required to run the mod.
Fish is installed on the client and the server, and the server needs it too. The mod can be run on Forge for 1.20.1 only, with a single file released on 2025-03-08, under the MIT License, though it is not open source. Public links include a wiki. The mod's fishing changes can be turned off with the customFishing gamerule.
Key features
Randomly spawning fish
Many fish species appear in the world at random, so exploring is a way to find new ones.
New fishing mechanic
A custom fishing mechanic changes how catches are made, and the customFishing gamerule switches it off.
Fish blocks and buckets
Fish come as items with their own textures, as entities, as blocks and as buckets for carrying them.

What the author says
Have you ever felt that Minecraft neglects fishes alot? If yes this mod is for you! This mod adds tons of fishes, which you'll find randomly on the world! For example you can get sulphur from a sulphur skitter that you find/fish in Warm Biomes. This mod is in my opinion pretty fun to explore and get all new fishes…
