This is a configurable fishing mod. How it works is, whenever you would normally fish up a salmon item, it spawns a live salmon instead!<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Guess what?<\/p>\n
It entirely supports data packs! In fact, the entire mod uses a datapack for the item->entity conversions!<\/p>\n
Place your jsons in a fishing folder and reload your datapacks to instantly fish new entities!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The json format is as follows:<\/p>\n
\u00a0
\n“`json
\n{
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 “input”: {
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 “item”: “minecraft:tropical_fish”
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 },
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 “result”: {
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 “id”: “minecraft:tropical_fish”
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 }
\n}
\n“`
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
That takes the minecraft:tropical_fish item and turns it into a minecraft:tropical_fish entity!<\/p>\n
\u00a0
\nWe can even do NBT for the entities as well!
\n“`json
\n{
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 “input”: {
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 “item”: “minecraft:tropical_fish”
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 },
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 “result”: {
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 “id”: “minecraft:tropical_fish”,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 “nbt”: {
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 “Variant”: 117834241
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 }
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 }
\n}
\n“`
\n\u00a0
\nThat will result in a very specific tropical fish each time!<\/p>\n
Also, if you want to override one of the vanilla ones, create your datapack with the namespace fishingreal and override either cod.json, pufferfish.json, salmon.json, or tropical_fish.json<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fish up real entities instead of the items!
