The first bugfix of many!

• Fixed crash with environmental installed (oops)

v2.0 is finally here 🐟🐟🐟🐟

New Stuff ✅

Bobbers, Hooks, & Baits rework

• All Bobbers, Hooks, & Baits are now craftable
• All hook/bobber-specific perks has been moved to a data-driven modifier system so it can be applied to any item
• These modifiers are a data component so any mod can use them for their items for better compatibility! They are only checked on the rod item, and the 3 slots inside the rod. Armor/baubles etc compatibility coming in a later version
• Check the wiki (wip) on the list modifiers available
• There is also a custom recipe type added to allow for easier modpack recipe compatibility

Hooks 🎣

• Shiny hook - Spawns treasure after 3 sweetspots
• Gold hook - Increases exp reward based on minigame performance
• Mossy Hook - Makes Minigame harder but a perfect catch awards a treasure (excludes epic and legendary rarity)
• Stone Hook - Prevents fish from escaping (decay) for a while after hitting a sweet-spot
• Split Hook - Awards double fish
• Heavy Hook - Slows down moving Sweet-spots

Bobbers 🐡

Cosmetic Bobbers removed, moved to smithing templates

• Steady Bobber - Green Sweet-spots have increased size
• Clear Bobber - Vanishing Sweet-spots vanish slower

• Added Gunpowder Bait - new bait used for catching creepers

• Baits are now a tag, any item tagged bait can be placed in the bait slot and will be consumed, even if the fish doesnt like it!

Crystal Hook Removed & Lava Fishing 🔥

• Instead of using the Crystal Hook, Lava Fishing is now a smithing netherite upgrade, much like you'd upgrade armor. This does not change the visual of the rod and can be applied to any rod skin.

Fish Models are here! 🐠

• Lots of the fishes (but not all!) now feature a 3d model as many have requested!

Fishing Rod Skins! 🎣 ✨
