Welcome to **FishMating**, a feature-rich and immersive Minecraft plugin crafted for version **1.21.3+** and beyond! \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f\u2728 Written with care using the latest **Bukkit\/Paper APIs**, this plugin transforms your oceans, rivers, and lakes into living, breathing ecosystems where fish can breed dynamically \u2014 just like land animals, but with a unique aquatic twist! \ud83d\udc1f\u2764\ufe0f\ud83c\udf3e<\/p>\n
With FishMating, your players can interact with marine life in a whole new way: by simply tossing specific seeds into the water, they\u2019ll attract nearby fish of matching types. Curious salmon, cod, pufferfish, and tropical fish will detect the seeds within a **5-block radius** \ud83c\udf31\u27a1\ufe0f\ud83d\udc20 and gracefully swim toward them. Upon reaching the seeds, each fish takes one seed and becomes **breeding-ready**, shown with charming heart particles \u2764\ufe0f\u2728. If two breeding-ready fish find each other within **30 seconds**, they pair up just like in vanilla Minecraft animal breeding, spawning an adorable **baby fish** to join the aquatic family! \ud83d\udc23\ud83c\udf0a<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s just the start! \ud83e\uddf0 The plugin is deeply customizable thanks to the powerful **config.yml**:<\/p>\n
\u2699\ufe0f **Fully adjustable settings**:<\/p>\n
* Change detection radius \ud83e\udded
\n* Customize breeding cooldowns and readiness time \u23f1\ufe0f
\n* Enable or disable particle effects and control their amount \ud83c\udf87

\n* Fine-tune advanced settings like natural growth, debug logging, and maximum tracked fish limits \ud83d\udc20\ud83d\udcca<\/p>\n
Everything is built with **performance** and **stability** in mind. FishMating handles edge cases gracefully \u2014 from fish dying mid-breeding, seeds despawning, or large-scale aquatic events \u2014 all while keeping your server console clean and error-free \u2705. Thanks to the **breeding-success-rate** setting, you can even add a touch of unpredictability to make breeding feel natural and dynamic. \ud83c\udfb2\u2728<\/p>\n
