Unique Fishing Rods
by okipiak
Unique Fishing Rods lets each fishing rod track its own bobber, so several rods can stay active at the same time.
What it does
Normally every fishing rod shares one fishing state, so only one line can be out at once. With this mod, each rod keeps a separate bobber and acts independently. A rod can be cast, left in the water and cast again without affecting the others, which gives builders a way to run several fishing actions in parallel.
The mod works as a simple remote redstone trigger. A rod can be set off by a single action and its bobber can pull or respond at a distance, which opens new options for technical builds and contraptions. One example from the author text is a set of separate ender pearl stasis chambers, each opened by a different rod from across a distance.
Unique Fishing Rods is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.21.11 and 26.1.2, with files for 26.1.1 and 26.1.2 among the four release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.1.2. The author text notes that installing the mod on the client too improves visual consistency, and the license is All rights reserved; the code is not open source.
Key features
Independent bobbers
Each fishing rod tracks its own bobber rather than sharing a single fishing state with other rods.
Parallel active rods
Each rod carries its own bobber, so more than one can stay in the water at once without sharing a fishing state.
Remote redstone trigger
A rod can act as a simple remote trigger, so one action can start a mechanism at a distance.
Contraption use
Separate rods can drive separate mechanisms, a pattern suited to technical builds.
