Effect

Fishing effect is a temporary buff that gives players a boost for a single fishing attempt. This boost can come from fishing rods, bait, or even enchantments and totems! The fishing effect follows a specific configuration format. Below is how all the effects are set up.

All effects follow the format below:

star_fishing_rod:
  requirements:
    ...
  effects: 
    weight_effect:           <- custom effect section name
      type: weight-mod
      value:
      - rubbish:-10
      - golden_star_fish:+10

If the value is an integer or a double value, you can use expression for instance

FISHING_ROD:
  tag: false
  material: fishing_rod
  effects:
    loot_effect:
      type: multiple-loot
      value: '{level} * 0.1'

Bait

To use bait, it needs to be placed in offhand or fishing bag. Every time the rod is cast, it will be thrown together with the hook.

Hook

To equip hook on rod, make sure that you are in survival mode. Drag the hook onto your rod so it would be applied. To remove the hook from a rod, just right click the rod and the hook would be on your cursor.

Effect Library

weight-mod (weight-mod offers a way to adjust the weight or chance of a single Loot, making it easier to quickly change the probability of obtaining a particular item. If there's no loot available, the effect would not take effect)

xxx_effect:
  type: weight-mod
  value:
  - rubbish:-10
  - golden_star_fish:+10

weight-mod-ignore-conditions (The difference is that the effect would still take effect even if there's no such loot available)

xxx_effect:
  type: weight-mod-ignore-conditions
  value:
  - enchantmentbook:+1

group-mod (Unlike weight-mod, group-mod allows you to modify the weight of multiple loots at the same time. Of course, an item can belong to multiple groups, like the 'gold quality' group and the 'marine' group. For guidance on how to assign loots to groups, refer to the Loot System)

xxx_effect:
  type: group-mod
  value:
  - gold:+20
