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
- Aqua Bobber - Adds an Aqua sweet-spot to the minigame
- Vanilla-flavoured - Drops loot from the vanilla-loot table

Baits 🐜
Every bait now reduces lure time
New baits: Worms! 🐛
-
Worms can be obtained by bonemealing farmland (emi compat coming later
-
Added Worm - Basic worm, just reduces bait time
-
Added Almighty Worm - fishes the entity version of the fish if available
-
Added Seeking Worm - Prioritizes uncaught fishes
-
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! 🎣 ✨
Fishing rod skins have been added! They don't provide any bonuses by default, but allow for modpacks to use them with the new modifiers system to give permanent buffs (like bobbers, hooks & baits can)
- Alpha Rod - satchel
- slimed rod - satchel
- sharktooth - satchel
- Good Ol' Rod - satchel
- naturalist rod - 1% chance fishing on the forests

- Boner Rod - 1% from soulsand valey
- Sky Rod - 1% above 300
- Lush Glowberry - 1% chance in lush caves

New Difficulty and Data-driven Sweet-spots! 💻
- Sweetspots used for the fishe's difficulty are now data-driven, check the wiki (wip) or contact me (@wdiscute) if you want to learn more
- Sweet-spots now can have unique behaviour per-sweetspot, alongsides unique texture, size and more
- This allows for mix and matching of different sweet-spot types to make custom difficulties for specific fishes

New Command ⚙
- New '/starcatcher' command has been added for debugging and aid modpack developers do their cool datapack stuff
