About this project

What does Better Fishing add?



Enchanted Fishing Line
features

Better Fishing completely overhauls the vanilla fishing experience in Minecraft. It replaces the boring waiting game with a highly interactive, physics-based fishing minigame. Balance the tension, reel in your catch, and watch the actual fish fly towards you!



features



Enchanted Fishing Line completely overhauls the vanilla fishing line in Minecraft. It replaces the stiff string with a highly realistic, physics-simulated 3D line. It sags under gravity, bends dynamically, and collides with blocks perfectly without clipping.
100% Client-Side




divider

Interactive Fishing Minigame: A highly responsive HUD appears when a fish bites. Balance the line tension and fill your progress bar to catch the fish. If the tension goes into the red, the line snaps!


Physical Fish Rendering: Say goodbye to items magically appearing in your inventory. Better Fishing actually renders the fish entity or item on the hook as you reel it in.


Procedural Reeling Animations: When paired with Punchy, the mod features math-driven, procedural arm and rod animations. The rod bends and your arm tilts backwards dynamically as you fight the fish.
