No fishing books!
by arcanealloy
Fishing with a rod can return an Enchanted Book, and No fishing books! stops players from catching books and any other listed items on Forge 1.19.2.
What it does
A fishing rod can normally return an Enchanted Book as a catch. This mod blocks that result, so a player who reels in a book gets nothing from that cast. The same check covers any other items the server chooses to ban.
The banned items are listed in a TOML file that a server owner can edit to add or remove entries. Changes to that list decide what fishing can and cannot return, so a server can keep the fishing rewards it wants and drop the rest.
The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.19.2 only. It needs to be installed on the client and on the server, so both sides apply the same list. Only the 1.0 Forge file, dated 2023-09-22, is published, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Blocks enchanted book catches
A fishing rod cannot return an Enchanted Book as a catch while the mod is active.
Custom banned item list
Any other item can be added to the banned list, so fishing skips those results as well.
Config file control
The list is stored in a TOML file, which the server owner edits to change what is banned.
Applies to other items
The filter is not limited to books, so it can stop any catch that a server does not want players to receive.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Server reward balance
A server owner who wants fishing to stay out of enchanting can remove books from the catch pool without changing other loot.
Trimming unwanted catches
Where a modpack or world makes some fishing results unwanted, the config file lets the owner list each one.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to control fishing results, and players on servers that run the mod. Because it is installed on both sides, a single-player world needs it as well if the same rules should apply there.
