Overview
Combustive Fishing is a mod that adds a few items and features that allow you to fish in lava. The idea and features for this mod are based on the requests and suggestions from this thread started by /u/ArloTheEpic on r/feedthebeast. This mod adds a new upgraded fishing rod, the Blazing Fishing Rod, that lets you fish in lava for fish, junk, or even treasures. There's also two new fish exclusive to the Nether, the Combustive Cod and the Searing Swordfish.
Features
Blazing Fishing Rod
A blazing fishing rod is exactly the same as a fishing rod except that it also lets you fish in lava for loot. It comes with increased durability and enchantability as well compared to a normal fishing rod.
The recipe for the blazing fishing rod is the same as a fishing rod, except replacing the sticks with blaze rods and adding magma cream.
Combustive Cod
The Combustive Cod is a new species of fish that can only be found in the lava pools of the Nether. This fish is too hot to even try eating; however, it does have a unique property: when thrown, the Combustive Cod explodes on impact. Handle with care!
But is all hope lost for ever feasting on your burning hot fish? Not so! If you drop a combustive cod into a pool of water, it will spontaneously cool down into a form perfect for eating.
Searing Swordfish
The Searing Swordfish lives in the Nether lava pools right alongside the Combustive Cod. This fish is also too hot to eat. While the swordfish don't explode like the combustive cods, they can be used in another way: as a sword! You'll find that the bills of the searing swordfish very closely mimics the properties of a strong, firey sword when combined with a blaze rod. Don't bother trying to enchant or repair it though, it's still just made out of fish.
Bone Fish
The Bone Fish is a species (?) of fish that can be found in the lava pools of both the Nether and the Overworld. It obviously cannot be eaten, unless you like bones. However, you can use the bone fish to attract both wolves and ocelots alike. If you have no use for pets, it can also provide a slightly higher amount of bonemeal than regular bone.
Lava Fishing
What kind of loot could you even find in lava, you may ask. That depends on whether you are in the Overworld or in the Nether. For Overworld fishing, you will mostly find fish that has already been cooked (how mysterious!). For Nether fishing, you will mostly find nether fish. As always, there is a chance to find some junk or even treasure. Try it out and see, a whole new world of fishing is available to you now!
1.12.x Overview
Features
Golden Rod
A golden rod is exactly the same as a fishing rod except that it also lets you fish in lava for loot. It comes with increased durability and enchantability as well compared to a normal fishing rod.
The recipe for the golden rod is the same as a fishing rod, except replacing the sticks with gold ingots and the string with a new material called magma string.
How do you get magma string, you ask? Why, just craft some magma cream and string together!
Combustive Cod
The Combustive Cod is a new species of fish that can only be found in the lava pools of the Nether. This fish is too hot to even try eating; however, it does have a unique property: when thrown, the Combustive Cod explodes on impact. Handle with care!
But is all hope lost for ever feasting on your burning hot fish? Not so! If you drop a combustive cod into a pool of water, it will spontaneously cool down into a form perfect for eating.
Searing Swordfish
The Searing Swordfish lives in the Nether lava pools right alongside the Combustive Cod. This fish is also too hot to eat. While the swordfish don't explode like the combustive cods, they can be used in another way: as a sword! You'll find that the searing swordfish very closely mimics the properties of a weak, firey sword. Don't bother trying to enchant or repair it though, it's still just a fish.
Like the Combustive Cod, you can cool it down in a pool of water. This will give you a tempered swordfish. While a tempered swordfish can fill you up quite a bit, a more damaged swordfish might yield weaker results.
Bone Fish
The Bone Fish is a species (?) of fish that can be found in the lava pools of both the Nether and the Overworld. It obviously cannot be eaten, unless you like bones. However, you can use the bone fish to attract both wolves and ocelots alike. If you have no use for pets, it can also provide a slightly higher amount of bonemeal than regular bone.
Lava Fishing
What kind of loot could you even find in lava, you may ask. That depends on whether you are in the Overworld or in the Nether. For Overworld fishing, you will mostly find fish that has already been cooked (how mysterious!). For Nether fishing, you will mostly find nether fish.

In reply to zasnool:
Probably not.
Hello, love this mod! I am currently working on a pack that has the nether disabled, and a new custom nether biome in the overworld. Is it possible to have the nether fish spawn in certain biomes in the overworld?
In reply to IronThumbsGaming:

In reply to dzgamer2005:
I won't say that it won't happen, but I wouldn't bet on it either.
Haha this Mod really made my day! Just playing FS Lost souls, thought ^hmm what will happen when i throw the rod in lava^ and got the piece of cream i needed to complete my armor :D
It is the most absurd mod and therefore the coolest I have recently acquired. I love him.

In reply to ArloTheEpic:
I just stumbled across this and have yet to download the mod, however I am about to do so, I was also looking at the ideas that are being posted and had an idea too.
How does a type of flat fish sound that can be thrown like a Shuriken that can only be found in the Nether that sets your enemies on fire for a short amount of time that would also work as a ranged weapon similar to the bow idea.
Also to prevent them from being spammed it may be a good idea to add a cool down on the item and or a chance for the item when you miss the target it has a chance to break and is consumable much like snowballs ect. any that hit their mark cannot be picked back up again.

Maybe you could use a nether starfish for the shuriken? It might look something like this:
