by LilaMcG

The Lotus Atoll expands the vanilla fishing experience in NeoForge 26.1.2 with new fishing rod tiers, bait, enchantments and fishing hotspots.

What it does

The vanilla fishing rod is replaced by a progression of seven rods, from a simple wooden rod to a Netherite Fishing Rod. Each material is a further step, so upgrading equipment is tied to advancing through the fishing progression. Bait is required before a fishing trip, and only one type of bait is active at a time. It is consumed when it helps land a fish.

Casting a rod starts a timer above the fishing bobber, showing how long the cast has been active. Once something bites, the reel reveals what was caught. Roughly one catch in twenty is swapped for a living sea creature drawn from the mod's list, so the reel pulls a creature out of the water instead of an ordinary reward.

The Lotus Atoll runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 26.1.2, as version 1.0.0 released on 2026-08-20, and is licensed under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Seven rod tiers

    Wooden, stone, copper, iron, gold, diamond and netherite fishing rods form a single progression that replaces the vanilla rod.

  2. Bait and enchantments

    Bait is needed before fishing, and enchantments change how the rods behave during a cast.

  3. Fishing hotspots

    Certain water areas act as hotspots, and passive fishing nets can be placed to collect catches without a player casting.

  4. Creature catches

    A small share of catches produce a live sea creature that appears in the world instead of an item.

  5. Faster fishing

    The higher tiers of rod increase fishing speed, so later rods shorten the wait for a bite.

Water World - Atolls is not open source, is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, and targets Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.11 – 26.3. Tide 2 is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.5, so it reaches older versions than The Lotus Atoll.
