About Fishing Frontier

A reworked fishing loot table system in Minecraft, with a progression system, custom enchantments for new mechanics, and many more fish items!

Explore new frontiers of fishing with this datapack!

  • Several new enchantments, with new avenues and strategies of fishing.
  • A new progression system based on gear, which rewards players for spending time fishing.
  • Many new fished items based on what tier of fishing you're in, which are edible customized items!
  • Biome and location specific loot for fishing, go and explore!

Progression system! Fish up new armor pieces, all part of the Fisherman's Set to climb your way through the ranks

Live Catch

Catch live creatures loaded with goodies using this new enchantment. Some are useful in more ways than just slaying them...

Not compatible with Treasure Hunter!

Treasure Hunter

Use this enchantment to not only fish up loot crates, but encourages fishers to explore and find rare structures to be able to fish up loot crates that let you collect armor trims!

Not compatible with Live Catch!

Fireproof Line

This enchantment unlocks the ability to fish in lava, and combines with the other enchantments for an entire new dimension of fishing! The overworld has some lava loot, but the nether is the main place for lava fishing!

A Hidden Enchantment!

>Rumors tell of an enchantment only the most dedicated fisherman are able to fish up, will you find it?

Fish chumming!

>On your fishing journey you may find fish food you can use to chum the waters and influence what you catch, use them wisely and hook to your heart's content!

Rare enhanced fishing rods

>You may encounter fishing rods with enhanced Lure enchantments on them, letting you fish faster than before, the maximum that can come up is Lure 5, but be careful when combining it with other rods! If the other rod has lure, the level will be clamped to 3 in the resulting rod!

Advancement-based tutorial: This datapack uses advancements to guide players through their fishing journey, check it for the most up-to-date info and tips!

Informational books!

An informational book is available which will be given to any fisher who gets their first boots, but you can also craft it with this recipe.

BookRecipe

Should you require more exact info, the encyclopedia located at the end of the info book will give more info to the determined fisher!

For PAPERMC (lava fishing burning immediately)

If your lava-fished items are burning immediately when fished up, and you are on a paper server, this is due to paper's incompatibility with certain vanilla technical features, such as distance=0 selector not working on the same tick an entity is summoned. SOLUTION: Ask your server owner to change the value of fix-entity-position-desync to false inside of paper-global.yml

Performance: This datapack shouldn't have any real impact on tick lag at all, as it only should be performing any real logic when fishing is occurring, and I've tried my best to only perform logic when needed, hope this is a lag-free pack!
