About this project

What does Fishing Real add?

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!
If creating a datapack follow these instructions: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorials/Creating_a_data_packFolder structure (inside your world's datapacks folder or elsewhere if you're running a default datapack mod) will be like so:datapackname

├ pack.mcmeta

└ data

└ namespace (can be anything)

└ fishing

└ whatever.json

I have created a datapack for you to download for Aquaculture 2 here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/customization/fishing-real-aquaculture-datapack

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
