RealFish
by ye_zhan_hua
RealFish turns fishing into a longer, more detailed minigame on Fabric, with upgraded rods and reels that change how catches are made.
What it does
Fishing in the mod follows a more realistic process, and the gear a player picks changes the outcome. Four reel items and four rods can be crafted, and the iron rod takes more durability per use. Eight fish spawn naturally in the world, and the config file lets other entities be added as catches. Installation needs Fabric on both the server and the players' clients, and files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 0.1.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest build, released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Realistic fishing process

Upgraded rods and reels
Four reels and four rods range from iron to netherite, with diamond reels slower and the netherite pieces unbreakable.
Eight natural fish
Eight fish spawn in the world, and a config option adds further fish entities from other mods.
