BetterFishing
1.3.0A completely redesigned and improved fishing system. It makes fishing more fun and offers various stages.
- Tested MC versions
- 1.19, 1.20, 1.21, 26.1

BetterFishing completely eliminates the slow, repetitive "wait-and-click" mechanic of vanilla Minecraft. Say goodbye to the boring waiting game; every cast is now a skill-based, high-stakes minigame packed with rewards and progression.

-
You can access the menu using the /fish command.
-
Action-Bar Minigame: As soon as a fish bites, hit the Green Zone to secure your catch. Miss it, and the fish gets away!
-
Perfect Catches: Lock in the exact center (|) to trigger a "Critical Shot"—granting +10% Extra Weight and 2x XP.

-
Dynamic Scaling: No hard level caps! Everyone has a chance, but as your Fishing Level climbs, your mathematical odds of pulling Epic and Legendary monsters skyrocket.
-
Treasures & Lockpicking: Occasionally hook a Treasure Chest instead of a fish. Pass the minigame 3 times in a row to unlock massive payouts or rare loot!
-
Advanced Rod Upgrades: Spend your earnings to slow down the cursor, widen the Green Zone, or boost your treasure find rate.
-
Zone Efficiency: When too many fish are caught in an area, that area's productivity starts to decrease. This system encourages the player to be active and prevents AFK.
-
Special Feeds: Using specialized baits can lead to better fish catches.
-
PlaceholderAPI Support: Display levels, XP, and record holders directly on your scoreboards, holograms, or chat.

- How about exploring the fish? The catalog will always help you with that.
- Some fish can only be caught under specific conditions.

NOTE: If you want to activate fish sales, you must use Vault or VaultUnlocked!
