\nMakes it possible to get Buckets of Fish via a different way; by fishing with a water bucket in your off-hand!
\nThis mod also automatically supports modded fish, *as long as they follow the minecraft naming style.*<\/p>\n

The mod uses dynamically written recipes and is compatible with JEI if you want to see what things you can fishing-craft!

\nTechnical Notes for Modders<\/b><\/summary>\n

Your fish should be handled automatically as long as you follow the minecraft naming style ( “***[modid]:[fish]***”, “***[modid]:[fish]_bucket***” ), I also included a “***[modid]:raw_[fish]***” as a fallback in case you are still using old naming.
\n~~However there might be cases where you would not want something to be auto-gen’d for your item. Fish recipes won’t be created if the following data path already exists in any directory “***data.tactical_fishing.recipes.inbuilt.fishing_[modid]_[fish]_bucket.json***”.~~<\/p>\n

Your rods should also be handled automatically as long as they extend “***net.minecraft.item.FishingRodItem***”, and it should work as long as your fishing hook projectile uses the “***net.minecraftforge.event.entity.player.ItemFishedEvent***” Forge Event.
\nHowever if your rod is a custom item for whichever reason you can include it in the “***tactical_fishing:fishing_rods***” item tag.<\/p>\n

If you wish to create new fishing recipes for your mod here is the syntax:
\n“`
\n{
\n “type”: “tactical_fishing:fishing”,
\n “group”: “”, \/\/This is optional like in default recipes; if you want to make this recipe count for the “Advanced Tactics” advancement add “tactical_fishing:fish_buckets” here.
\n “rod”: {}, \/\/Ingredient syntax, this specifies the rod needed for the recipe, if you want any rod to count use the “tactical_fishing:fishing_rods” tag
\n “ingredient”: {}, \/\/Ingredient syntax, this specifies what else you need to hold for the recipe
\n “catch”: {}, \/\/Ingredient syntax, this specifies what needs to be caught to finalize the recipe
\n “result”: {} \/\/ItemStack syntax, this specifies what is created from the recipe
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n

Here is a template from the auto-gen’d recipes
\n“`
\n{
\n “type”: “tactical_fishing:fishing”,
\n “group”: “tactical_fishing:fish_buckets”,
\n “rod”: {
\n “tag”: “tactical_fishing:fishing_rods”
\n },
\n “ingredient”: {
\n “item”: “minecraft:water_bucket”
\n },
\n “catch”: {
\n “item”: “minecraft:cod”
\n },
\n “result”: {
\n “item”: “minecraft:cod_bucket”
\n },
\n “conditions”: [
\n {
\n “type”: “forge:mod_loaded”,
\n “modid”: “minecraft”
\n }
\n ]
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nTechnical Notes for Modpack Makers<\/b><\/summary>\n

You can suppress certain features via the config, like disabling the auto-gen’d fish recipes altogether.<\/p>\n
