Prevents re-randomising the fishing wait time if the previous roll would be negative after applying modifiers like enchantments
About this Mod
Fishing Tick Fix
In vanilla, when a fishing line is cast, the game rolls a random time after which a fish will bite, then
subtracts 5 seconds from that for each level of the "Lure" enchantment on the fishing rod. If this modified
time would be negative, it rolls for a new delay on the next tick, and repeats this process until it is
positive.
Using this mod, if the delay (after modifications like Lure) is negative, it is instead set to 1 tick and not rerolled.
...Why?
- Lure levels above 1 are buffed slightly - for example, Lure 2 effectively gets a 20% chance to catch a fish immediately, rather than all times between 0 and 20 seconds being equally likely
- Lure levels above 5 are guaranteed to catch fish immediately, whereas they get stuck rerolling the delay every tick in vanilla (and therefore never catch a fish) because it would always be negative
