This mod reworks fishing mechanics, adding new biome-specific fish to catch and a new fishing rod that can have bait attached! ## Installation There's always a Bigger Fish is a client and server mod for Fabric 1.21.1 and 1.21.11. Its dependencies are listed below. #### Dependencies - Fabric API is required on Fabric. - [Cloth Config](https://modrinth.com/mod/cloth-config) or [McQoy](https://modrinth.com/mod/mcqoy) is recommended to configure the mod. ## Features - The fish you catch are determined by **where in the world you're fishing from** and by **bait** - which can be attached to the mod's new **Copper Rod** in the inventory. To make this system more varied, the mod adds over 75 extra fish items for you to fish up. - Biomes have been broken down into various categories based on their temperatures and the type of water. The temperature categories are Cold, Temperate, and Hot, and the water types are Saltwater, Freshwater, and Brackish. For more information on what fish are caught where, check [Reliable Recipe Viewer](https://modrinth.com/mod/rrv)! - Fishing below Y-32 also has unique results, fish caught there are depth dwelling Cave Fish! - This mod adds three types of bait and two hooks that have special effects. The better the bait you put on your rod, the rarer fish you catch! - Worms are basic bait, obtained from Composters. - Leeches are tier two bait, obtained from Drowned. - Fish are tier three bait, obtained from fishing. - Netherite Hooks allow you to fish in Lava. - Diamond Hooks increase your chance of catching treasure. - To make caught fish more unique, they'll be assigned a random size. Boasting about big fish is encouraged and part of the intended experience. ## Mod Compatibility - Fishing information has been added to [Reliable Recipe Viewer](https://modrinth.com/mod/rrv) on 1.21.11 and above as well as [EMI](https://modrinth.com/mod/emi) on 1.21.1. Partial support exists for [Roughly Enough Items](https://modrinth.com/mod/rei), and [Just Enough Items](https://modrinth.com/mod/jei). - This mod replaces vanilla's fishing loot tables with its own. Where possible, modded fish have been added to this mod's item tags, which makes them fishable with our revamped fishing system. The following mods are currently supported. - Aquaculture 2 - Upgrade Aquatic - The Copper Rod's inventory is fully compatible with [Easy Shulker Boxes](https://modrinth.com/mod/easy-shulker-boxes). - The mod introduces a variety of fish related meals when [Farmer's Delight](https://modrinth.com/mod/farmers-delight-refabricated) is installed. ## FAQ - Will this mod be ported to other versions/loaders? - Currently, the mod actively supports Fabric 1.21.1 and 1.21.11. There is no plan to backport to older versions, as the mod relies extensively on 1.21+ features. - What's next for the mod? - The mod will continue development, we're currently working on an optional fishing minigame, working on making more fish mods compatible, and rebalancing the mod based on player feedback. ## License [![Asset license (Unlicensed)](https://img.shields.io/badge/assets%20license-All%20Rights%20Reserved-red.svg?style=flat-square)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_rights_reserved) [![Code license (MIT)](https://img.shields.io/badge/code%20license-MIT-green.svg?style=flat-square)](https://github.com/cassiancc/Always-a-Bigger-Fish/blob/main/LICENSE.txt) If you are thinking about using the code or assets from There's Always a Bigger Fish, please note the mod's licensing. **All assets of There's Always a Bigger Fish are unlicensed and all rights are reserved to them by their respective authors.** The source code of the mod There's Always a Bigger Fish is under the MIT license. ## Credits Mod design by [malice_and_meat](https://modrinth.com/user/malice-and-meat) and [cassiancc](https://modrinth.com/user/Cassian), textures and graphic design by [malice_and_meat](https://modrinth.com/user/malice-and-meat) and programmed by [cassiancc](https://modrinth.com/user/Cassian).
