by juyoh

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

Fishing For Stars recreates the fishing minigame of a farming simulator, with its own textures and sounds. Each catch can bring up a new item, and randomly generated loot chests add an element of surprise to the session. The difficulty of a catch varies with the item being fished for, so some pulls demand more timing than others.

The server and every player need the mod installed. A tutorial is included and is available in 7 different languages. The project is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public links for the source code and issue tracker. Files target Fabric for game versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.21.8-1.0.1 as the latest build, first published on 2026-04-10 and last updated on 2026-07-02.

Key features

  1. Stardew-style fishing

    A faithful recreation of the fishing minigame from a farming simulator, adapted to Minecraft fishing.

  2. New minigame textures and sounds

    The minigame ships with its own textures and sound effects, separate from the original game.

  3. Randomly generated loot chests

    Loot chests appear at random, adding unexpected rewards to fishing sessions.

  4. Difficulty by catch

    Each item carries its own difficulty, so harder catches take more precise timing to land.
