Fishing Real

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!

Guess what?

It entirely supports data packs! In fact, the entire mod uses a datapack for the item->entity conversions!

Place your jsons in a fishing folder and reload your datapacks to instantly fish new entities!

The json format is as follows:

{
    "input": {
        "item": "minecraft:tropical_fish"
    },
    "result": {
        "id": "minecraft:tropical_fish"
    }
}

That takes the minecraft:tropical_fish item and turns it into a minecraft:tropical_fish entity!

We can even do NBT for the entities as well!

{
    "input": {
        "item": "minecraft:tropical_fish"
    },
    "result": {
        "id": "minecraft:tropical_fish",
        "nbt": {
            "Variant": 117834241
        }
    }
}

That will result in a very specific tropical fish each time!

_{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}
