TheDragon's Mini: QTE Fishing

by TheDragonSkull

TheDragon's Mini: QTE Fishing turns each catch into a Quick Time Event sequence that a player must complete before the timer runs out.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

When a player hooks something, a QTE sequence begins on screen. The player must press the key or word shown before the timer runs out, and each successful input triggers a new prompt that has to be completed in full. Four correct inputs bring the item in. A wrong press, or a timer that expires, lets the fish escape and the rod takes minor damage. A successful catch pulls the loot toward the player and grants experience as regular fishing does.

The default prompts use the letters A to Z and the digits 0 to 9. Hard Mode switches the prompts to words instead, which makes each sequence harder to read in time. The number of required keys, the time allowed per input and the Hard Mode toggle can all be changed in the configuration. The mod supports multiplayer, and it is published for Forge 1.20.1 with the license MIT License. The source code and issue tracker are public, so bugs can be reported there.

Key features

  1. Quick Time Event catches

    Each catch starts a QTE sequence that the player must complete to land the item.

  2. Configurable prompts

    The number of successful inputs required and the time allowed per input can be set in the configuration.

  3. Hard Mode

    A toggle replaces the single keys with words, so each prompt takes more reading.

    A wrong key or an expired timer lets the fish escape and deals minor damage to the rod.
