Just a Few Fish

Welcome to the world of underwater inhabitants! This mod adds living fish to Minecraft that correspond to the standard fish items from the vanilla game.

What does the mod add?

The modification introduces four types of fish mobs based on existing fish items:

• Cod - the most common fish
• Salmon - inhabitant of rivers and oceans
• Clownfish - tropical beauty
• Pufferfish - dangerous but interesting inhabitant

Note: seaweed in the screenshots is added by Biomes O' Plenty mod for decorative purposes

Interaction features

Catching fish

You can obtain fish in two ways:

• Attack with sword - get fish item directly
• Catch with fishing rod - safer and more interesting method

Vanilla fishing rod doesn't work with these fish - instead you get "fish bones". For catching you need special fishing rods from this mod.

Fishing rod system

Four types of fishing rods are available:

• Wooden
• Golden
• Iron
• Diamond

Each has its own durability and enchantability, similar to other vanilla tools.

Bait and fishing technique

For successful fishing you need to:

• Use bait - surround fishing rod with any seeds during crafting
• Hook carefully - too sharp movements can break the rod
• Have water bucket - caught fish automatically goes into bucket

Fish in bucket can be renamed in anvil without using name tag.

Breeding and keeping

Aquariums

The mod adds special aquariums - multi-block structures where fish don't despawn. This is an ideal solution for creating fish farms.

Breeding

For fish breeding:

• Throw seeds into aquarium
• Fish swim up and eat them
• Process can be automated using dispensers

Natural spawning

Fish spawn in various biomes:

• Cod - in all biome types
• Salmon - in rivers, swamps and oceans
• Pufferfish and clownfish - only in oceans
