About this Mod

Have you ever felt that Minecraft neglects fishes alot? If yes this mod is for you!
This mod adds tons of fishes, which you'll find randomly on the world! For example you can get sulphur from a sulphur skitter that you find/fish in Warm Biomes.

This mod is in my opinion pretty fun to explore and get all new fishes and the new fishing mechanic.

The item fish textures are from Furfsky, but the fish entities, blocks and buckets are made by me.

To disable the custom fishing mechanics you just have to disable the gamerule customFishing

Frequently Asked Questions

Fish server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Fish compatible with forge?

Fish officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Fish – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Fish consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
