Fish On The Line
🐟 Rings a bell held in the offhand when something's on the line while fishing.
About this Mod
Fish On The Line is a mod which can help you catch fish without your full attention. When you hold a bell in your offhand while fishing, it will make a sound whenever there's a fish on the line. You could watch something else and just right-click when you hear a sound.
Works well with the Recast and Village Bell Recipe mods.
All available config options:
Show Spoiler
mustHoldBellInOffhand default true
If enabled, the fish on the line sound will only go off if a bell is held in the offhand while fishing.
