What it does

The mod is a complete overhaul of fishing. Fish drop only from the locations they belong to, and a large fish has a 1 in 5 chance to replace a regular drop when the rod is properly equipped. Drop rates are rebalanced, and the treasure loot table is extended with fishing crates that drop directly from fishing.

Updated fishing rods are added, along with specialty rods. Power stones increase the maximum enchantment levels, and some of the new drops depend on the sea enchantment. Fishing rods can be used to reach the ocean level and advance progression. Most features are configurable, including an AFK random sequence and the drop settings, and the mod integrates with other RRC datapacks.

Re-Fished requires Fabric API on Fabric and runs as a server mod with an optional client install. The files target the newest twelve releases and are released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Key features

Location-based fish
Each fish only drops in the locations it belongs to, so where a player fishes changes what they catch.
Large fish drops
A large fish has a 1 in 5 chance to replace a regular drop when a suitably equipped rod is used.
Specialty rods and power stones
Added rods and power stones raise enchantment limits and add new options for players who progress through fishing.
Fishing crates
Crates drop directly from fishing and draw on the treasure loot table, adding rewards on top of ordinary catches.
