Go Bobber go!
by pero_sk
Go Bobber go! is a Fabric equipment mod that adds a Power attribute to fishing rods, so the bobber can be cast farther and faster.
What it does
A new Power attribute can be set on fishing rods, and it raises the launch speed of the bobber based on its value. A higher Power value lets a rod send the bobber over a lake or to a spot that a standard rod cannot reach. The attribute is customizable, so the amount of extra reach is set by the rod's configuration rather than fixed.
The mod works alongside vanilla fishing mechanics and keeps the rest of the fishing process unchanged. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric only, across six game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Power attribute for rods
Fishing rods gain a customizable Power attribute that controls how far the bobber travels.
Distance-based launch boost
The bobber's launch speed scales with the Power attribute, so stronger rods reach tricky spots across a lake.
Vanilla fishing kept intact
Casting, reeling and catching work as they do in vanilla, with only the cast distance changed.
Fish at longer range
With the extra reach, players can cast to spots roughly twenty blocks away and fish areas that were out of range.

Use cases
Reaching far water
Players fishing wide lakes can cast the bobber across to a far shore without walking around the water.
Server fishing setups
Server owners can give rods a Power value so that players on a multiplayer world reach the same distances.
Who it’s for: Players who fish regularly in survival or multiplayer worlds and want longer casts, and server owners who manage fishing rewards on Fabric.
