Hook a Duck
by June
Hook a Duck is a Fabric minigame for 1.21 in which players cast a line to catch ducks, and the catches feed a set of duck-themed rewards.
What it does
Players use a hook to fish for ducks, and each catch can earn tickets. Tickets are spent on prizes, and the mod includes a prize wheel themed around ducks, called Wheel Whacky, which gives out rewards when it is spun.
Among the rewards are a Magnificent Maw, swallow duck swords, and custom duck-themed spirit vectors, including one named Dream Burst Spirit Vector. The mod is open source under the MIT License and sits in the Minigame category, with food, mob and magic elements alongside.
Hook a Duck runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21 alone, with 1.0.7 for 1.21 as the latest file, dated 2024-07-13. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are public.
