This is a configurable fishing mod. How it works is, whenever you would normally fish up a salmon item, it spawns a live salmon instead!
Guess what?
It entirely supports data packs! In fact, the entire mod uses a datapack for the item->entity conversions!
Place your jsons in a fishing folder and reload your datapacks to instantly fish new entities!
The json format is as follows:
{
"input": {
"item": "minecraft:tropical_fish"
},
"result": {
"id": "minecraft:tropical_fish"
}
}
That takes the minecraft:tropical_fish item and turns it into a minecraft:tropical_fish entity!
We can even do NBT for the entities as well!
{
"input": {
"item": "minecraft:tropical_fish"
},
"result": {
"id": "minecraft:tropical_fish",
"nbt": {
"Variant": 117834241
}
}
}
That will result in a very specific tropical fish each time!
Also, if you want to override one of the vanilla ones, create your datapack with the namespace fishingreal and override either cod.json, pufferfish.json, salmon.json, or tropical_fish.json
Is it possible to have overworld fish mobs go for the bobber?
Does it work with Fabric?

No
This mod looks really cool, woould i need a data pack for compatibility with upgrade aquatic?
In reply to trepidotractatos:
Yes.
What happens with loot? Is it still possible to access frostwalker with this installed?
In reply to SuperIronTeam:
This mod doesn't modify the fishing loot. It only provides a way to specify an entity that gets spawned instead of an item as it gets fished up.
In reply to PricelessKoala:
Ah
Does this work with Aquaculture 2?
In reply to pinattaboy:
It does not work with Aquaculture 2 out of the box. You must create or download a data pack that adds the fish. A modpack that already does this is Enigmatica 4 and 5.
Hello, I want to use this mod in conjunction with Aquaculture 2 mod. I wanted to make a sort of homemade patch to make the two work together by manually injecting correct json files into the .jar file to replace each X fish item added by aquaculture by X fish mob, is that what you were referring to about the datapack support and all?
In reply to TheMissklang:
No, I mean like using a mod like https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/drp-global-datapack or https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/open-loader to add in data packs or use the vanilla way of adding data packs. https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Data_pack
A good example for a modpack that correctly does this is Enigmatica 4 and 5 (and they already have jsons for aquaculture made too).
Love the mod, cant wait to see where it goes!
Does this mod have a way to to switch back to item fishing while the game is running?
I have players who prefer one or the other as well as those who'd like to trade off at a whim.
Is there a pattern to set the chance rate to get certain entity?
I'm not good at this, even I'm not sure if I put the one I got from the description right.
Could I have a proper instruction to add and adjust more? Thanks and enjoy the flying fish. :3
In reply to NicoNirva:
The way the mod works is by replacing the fished up item with the entity, so the rarity is determined by the fishing loot table. There are a few tutorials on modifying vanilla loot tables and creating vanilla data packs. And there are a few mods that allow you to have a global data pack as well.
In reply to PricelessKoala:
Okay, I'm about to edit someone datapack to use on my own, and this is the file and the path that I'm going to fix.
-- \datapacks\Fishing\data\fishing\loot_tables\items\fish.json
And inside is something like this...
--
{{ "pools": [ { "rolls": 1.0, "entries": [ { "type": "minecraft:item", "name": "minecraft:cod", "weight": 60 }, { "type": "minecraft:item", "name": "minecraft:salmon", "weight": 25 }, { "type": "minecraft:item", "name": "minecraft:tropical_fish", "weight": 2 }, { "type": "minecraft:item", "name": "minecraft:pufferfish", "weight": 13 } ] } ]}
If I put more entities in here, will it work?
In reply to NicoNirva:
The way the mod works is by replacing the item that was fished up with an entity. So to add a new entity, you either choose an item that can already be fished, or add a new item to the fishing loot table. Then add a json for my mod that replaces that item with the entity you want.
For modifying vanilla fish chances, all you need is to modify the fishing loot table. You wouldn't need to add more "conversion" jsons.

Haha, cool video :3.
I have had this mod bookmarked for days and I only JUST got the pun in the name. >.< Nice work lol
