Reel Fishing

# Reel Fishing **Reel Fishing** is an **in-development** server-side Fabric mod that adds a fishing minigame, modular fishing rods, new fish, terrible puns and more. To start your fishing journey you must first craft yourself a **Fishing Rod Bench** from there you can assemble a **Modular Fishing Rod** with a **rod**, a **reel** and a **hook**. ### Rods Any wood type can be used to create a rod, and every type of wood will behave differently. Rods have two main properties their **Stability** and their **Obstruction Pattern**. Stability affects how well you're able to hold on to the rod. A less stable rod will result in the **Minigame** being faster and more difficult to catch. Obstruction Patterns are an area of the **Minigame** that the rod obstructs. More stable rods will likely have a bigger obstruction pattern, a price you pay for that added stability. ### Reels Reels can be made from wood, bamboo and copper. Better reels require **Bonework Mechanisms** to be made. Reels slow down the fish's escape, the stronger the reel the slower the fish will escape. ### Hooks Hooks can be made from iron or fish bones. Hooks have a **Power** and a **Fish Category**. An **Iron Hook** for example is moderately powerful and is best at catching **Shallow** fish. Hooks are only half as powerful when used for fish outside of their category. Certain fish categories of fish can only be caught with certain hooks. For example, **Deep** fish can only be caught with a **Weighted Hook**. ### Other Features - Over 16 new fish to catch, **17 fish** if we're being exact. *Technically there is 21 but 4 cannot be caught currently.* - **Biome-based fishing**, different biomes have different fish. Explore and see what you fish up! - **Fish Bones**, eating cooked fish will occasionally yield **Fish Bones** which can be used to upgrade your fishing equipment. --- [](https://modfest.net/1.20)
