About this Mod

Fishing Lure is a small vanilla-friendly NeoForge mod that makes fishing rods require a lure before fish can bite.

To attach a lure, put one in your offhand and right-click with a fishing rod. The rod will get a different texture when baited, and the lure is consumed after a successful catch.

By default, rotten flesh can be used as a lure, and the list of valid lure items can be changed in the config.

Made for simple survival and beta-styled modpacks.
