Random Fishing
by Overcontrol1
Random Fishing changes the catch from a fishing rod, so each cast can return a random item from the fishing loot table.
What it does
Enchanted fishing rods under this Fabric mod bring up items in random amounts instead of the usual single result. The maximum count per catch is set by the randomFishingMaxCount game rule. Individual items can be excluded through the randomfishing:blacklist item tag. Enchantments on the rod stay compatible with Luck of the Sea. Random Fishing is published for Fabric only, for 1.20 – 1.21.1 across six release versions, and it is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is open source.
The server requires the mod, while the client may leave it out. Serverside operation uses Polymer, and the optional client side adds nothing that a player must install.
