Fishing Real - Realistic Fishing in Minecraft

This mod completely changes the fishing mechanics in the game. Instead of receiving fish items in your inventory, you will catch living creatures that spawn directly in the water!

One of the key features is full datapack support. The entire mechanism for converting items into entities works through the datapack system, opening up endless customization possibilities.

Simply place JSON files in the fishing folder and reload your datapacks - now you can catch completely new types of creatures!

Configuration Format

The following JSON format is used to configure conversions:

{
    "input": {
        "item": "minecraft:tropical_fish"
    },
    "result": {
        "id": "minecraft:tropical_fish"
    }
}

This example converts the tropical fish item into a living tropical fish entity.

Advanced Features

The mod also supports working with NBT data for precise customization of creature characteristics:

{
    "input": {
        "item": "minecraft:tropical_fish"
    },
    "result": {
        "id": "minecraft:tropical_fish",
        "nbt": {
            "Variant": 117834241
        }
    }
}

This configuration ensures that a specific variant of tropical fish appears with every catch.

To override default conversions, create a datapack with the fishingreal namespace and replace the cod.json, pufferfish.json, salmon.json, or tropical_fish.json files
