Better Fishing Mod 1.2.2 redefines boring fishing by making it more challenging and fun. The new system requires you to accurately reel in fish to catch them. This mod aims to make vanilla fishing more challenging and rewarding. It introduces more fishes and a new mechanism to fish. This modpack may also be used to increase food production. This mod allows you to enjoy a realistic fishing experience, with a more challenging and in-depth mechanism and a wide range of fishes.

Two new keys are available. Reel In or Reel Out. You make your line tidier by reeling in, and you can loosen it when you reel out. Reel balance will vary depending on the fish. To get the reel just right, you can either listen to the pitch or use the HUD. When you feel you have the reel set correctly, click right again to capture the fish. If you have the reel right, you will catch the fish.

You will see different fishes depending on many environmental factors, such as whether the water is saltwater or freshwater, what time it is, and if it rains. All fishes are unique and can be customized to suit your needs. How intelligent a fish is can indicate how long they will stay on the hook. Their weight can indicate how tight the reel should be. You can verify the fish’s weight by placing a pound on the item once you have bought it. Each fish has a different weight, even those of the same species. You might end up with a huge Tuna depending on its maturity and how long it has survived in the deep. You might even find a Tuna that is too big to feed a cat. Once you have your fish, place it on the crafting area. You will receive slices of fish depending upon how large the fish was.

You can also determine whether a fish is fast, agile, and intelligent by the bubbles it makes when it’s hooked.

Features:

Realistic fishing system by introducing the reeling mechanism. Allowing fishing to be a fun and challenging experience.
Variety of new fishes both freshwater and saltwater.
Each and every single fish have their own personality and characteristics. Some fishes are extremely harder to catch than others. Characteristics includes when the fish goes to the surface(day, night or any), if they only go to the surface when it’s raining, if they are saltwater or freshwater fish, how fast they move, how intelligent they are, or how big they are(weight in pounds), or how rare they are. You can turn those fish into slices of raw fishes. Depending on the weight of the fish, you will get that portion of slices. Even fish from the same specie will have a bit of different attributes like weight or speed.
Fully Customizeable. Every part of the mod is customizeable including the HUD, the difficulty of fishing, the fishes themselves.

Fishes:

Tuna: Really intelligent, fast and agile, normal sized, doesn’t require rain to go to surface, will be hanging any time of the day, a bit rare, can only be found in saltwater.
Catfish: Not that intelligent, slow, huge sized, requires rain to go to surface, will be hanging around only at daytime, really rare, can only be found in freshwater.
Salmon: Normal intelligence, normal speed, normal sized, doesn’t require rain to go to surface, will be hanging any time of the day, not that rare, can only be found in saltwater.

Crafting Recipes:

Recommend that you should install Just Enough Items (for mods using Forge) or Roughly Enough Items (for mods using Fabric) to view the full recipes included in this mod.

How to use:

When you cast your fishing rod, you will get a HUD on the top of your screen.
Now by default, the fish will be tugging the line so you will have to fight that and balance the line by pressing the “Reel In” or “Reel Out” key to tighten or loosen the line.
The blue line in the middle indicates the perfect balance and when you right click again, you will get a fish.
Tip: You know a fish moves fast if it’s pulling the line a lot or the bubbles it produces on the water.
