HyFishing v0.2.0 — Update Notes

Fish Rarity

Fish have rarities. Every catch is rolled as one of four tiers:

⚪ Common  ·  🟢 Uncommon  ·  🔵 Rare  ·  🟡 Legendary

• The rarity is announced in chat when you reel in a catch
• Rarer fish are less likely to bite
• Each species has its own rarity weights, so some fish are harder to land at high rarity than others
• Your fish item reflects its rarity tier
• The leaderboard lets you filter records by rarity so you can see who holds the best catches

Fish Release Fixes

• Fish disappearing when released facing land or the sky
• Fish item staying in inventory after a failed release
• Releasing a fish could tag the wrong entity

Fish Item & Pickup Fixes

• Fish items losing their stats when stacked
• Picking up a released fish giving you the wrong item
• Released fish disappearing on pickup

Leaderboard Improvements

• Biggest catches now appear at the top
• Record holder name now displayed
• Personal / Global toggle replaced with dropdown

New Languages

French and Spanish are now fully supported. All in-game messages, leaderboard UI, and catch notifications are translated. All four languages (English, German, French, Spanish) have been fully audited and completed.

Performance

Bobber pathfinding has been optimized to reduce server lag during active fishing sessions.

For Mod Developers

FishCaughtEvent now exposes the fish's rarity and a unique instance ID per catch. The instance ID can be used to deduplicate catch-and-release loops and prevent XP farming. Full docs in EVENTS_API.md.
