Big Fish - Diverse Fish Mod for Minecraft

Big Fish mod enhances the fishing experience in Minecraft by adding 9 new fish species to the standard loot table. Each fish has unique characteristics - they can be cooked over fire and traded with village fishermen. Some fish species grant special effects when consumed, making the fishing process even more interesting and beneficial.

Different fish species inhabit specific biomes. Most of them are found in ocean expanses, but some specimens can be caught in special cave biomes such as Lush Caves. Fishing success is influenced by the player's luck parameter - the higher it is, the greater the chance of catching rare fish from this mod. Maximum effect is achieved at 13 luck points, when you'll catch only the best fish available in that biome, although standard species will still sometimes be caught.

If you don't like the biome dependency or luck reliance, you can modify the loot table using datapacks. As an example, a special "Homeless Fish" datapack has been created that makes all fish available in any biome.
