About this project
What does Attack Fish add?
This mod simply allows attacking fish again.
With the addition of fishing in 1.22, fish can no longer be attacked and can only be gathered with a fishing rod.
I personally enjoy spearfishing and swimming, and found it immersion-breaking that fish are now effectively invincible.
You will only get a few fish this way, since only a small number of fish actually spawn in most waters. To get more you will have to use a fishing rod.
