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.

bump for 1.18+ port :) you do good work..greatly missed mod :)
Please make a port to newer versions, this is an amazing mod that has so much potential, I’m guessing it may have been discontinued, but it would be amazing if this mod could be updated to 1.18 or 1.19, I do understand that porting mods onto newer versions is annoying, but if you can, it would mean a lot to be as this has to be one of my favorite mods on all of Curseforge
In reply to DrJellyLive:
Not discontinued, I'll get to it eventually.
Would you ever consider patching this to work with Aquaculture?
Any chance there is a configurable file for what loot is gotten while fishing?
In reply to BoolymanMC:
use a datapack (extracting the file shows the format)
quick, very minor idea because I thought it seemed cool, perhaps instead of string in the fishing rod recipe it could be chains.
does 1.16.5 works on 1.16.4 too?
In reply to diamentuslav:
Yes.
1.16.4 pls
In reply to tomix_s:
1.16.5 works on 1.16.4 too

fabric bad forge good
In reply to anonymus41123:
Your mom bad my mom good
In reply to Lordepos:
very mature...
In reply to anonymus41123:
Yes
In reply to anonymus41123:
Becuase its mature to feel the need to go "my modloader is better than YOURS"
In reply to anonymus41123:
I think you'll find that there were major changes to forge about a year ago that makes modding more difficult for forge, so many forge modders are moving over to fabric & no longer update their mods because its become too complicated, meaning, fabric may be the way of the future.
Hey, this is pretty cool ^_^
I mean, pretty hot
Textures need work and the searing swordfish is a bit overpowered, but other than that fantastic mod!
