About this Mod
Fishy Business is a forge mod which focuses on adding more fishing. The mod adds 19 different fish species. Fishes are biome dependent so you'll not find every fish in the a River. Fish also have two different cooked variants. The variants are Smoked (Cooked in a smoker) and Charred (Cooked in a furnace).
It also adds some fisherman villager changes and another type of villager that is found out on the open sea. To know extra stuff join the Discord.
This mod is for people who wants to fill the world with some more variaty while fishing. The mod is made by only me and I'm currently pretty occupied but I will work on it if I have time. Some things I would like to add is for example fish entities, Fisher villages and some small stuff like more decorations. The mod is made with MCreator and does not require any other mod to function. OBS! If you find a bug please report it in my discord and I'll try to get around to fixing it :)
