1) It should be 'you caught a fish' not 'you catched a fish'
2) Maybe I could make carbon fibre fishing rods (to go in my nanotech mod) It might have a greater casting range, if these ones do have a range.

1) Aye! Will change it. (EDIT: done)
2) No casting range implemented (yet?)

Very nice mod. It took me some practice to catch a fish :-)

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

I need to test this, it looks awesome. EDIT: Just tested it, and it is awesome.

Thanks. Didn't expect this kind of feedback.

[Casimir]

Very nice. The first usable fishing-mod

Two things: The selectionbox for the bobber is very small, it's hard to hit it when it moves. Also I don't like the use of farming to get worms, because farming is a way to get food and fishing is, but when you already started a farm why would you need to go fishing any more?

Thanks for your Feedback.

The selectionbox is a bit small. But you still have some time to click on it after it moved (until the bobber disappears). I might make it a bit larger though, depending on how it looks.
I thought of a new way to get worms for the following reasons:
- I didn't want the player to change the landscape just to get a worm, soil will become dirt/grass again over time
- I didn't want the player to fill the inventory with dirt, happens too soon already
- I thought of my own experience with getting worms for fishing using a spate, the player can't use a shovel like that, but a hoe comes close to that.
If you don't like to use a hoe for getting worms you can simply set "NEW_WORM_SOURCE" to "false" in "settings.txt" and you'll get worms from digging dirt with the player hand (or dirt) just like in the original mod.

[Mossmanikin]

Small update:
- Selectionbox of bobber is a bit larger
- If player moves too far away from the bobber it disappears
- Option how near other bobbers are allowed

[Sokomine]

Very nice mod! Can you make the worms disappear after some time? Worms left on dirt or dirt_with_grass ought to dig themselves back in.

[Mossmanikin]

Very nice mod!

Thank you.

Can you make the worms disappear after some time? Worms left on dirt or dirt_with_grass ought to dig themselves back in.

Yeah, I wanted to do this after I read something similar in the thread of the original mod, but somehow forgot about it.
I'll see what I can do.

[Bas080]

Is it possible to fish in an one water node pond?

EDIT
And I thought going fishing was something you did to relax!

[Mossmanikin]

Is it possible to fish in an one water node pond?

I'm sure you figured out by now, but: yes, it is!

EDIT
And I thought going fishing was something you did to relax!

Actually I think it's relaxing enough. You have a lot of time to click on the bobber.
I'm not sure if I know what you mean...
I'm open to change stuff when you can give an example of what exactly is annoying.

[Sokomine]

Perhaps the fishing rod could be placed somewhere at the shore as a decorative item when not used.

Btw.:
Update
- worms are mobs and dig themselves in when on dirt/grass.

It's alive! +1

There is little time to click whichmakes it hard to catch a fish. I do have suggestions for improving this mod.

Instead of only performing a mouse click at the correct moment you could also make the little bobber move slowly within the area at which you placed it.

EDIT, what about using smaller fishes that you catch with worms can be used to get bigger fishes. So the bigger the fish the more bait items you can craft

[Mossmanikin]

Of course I can give the player more time, but I'm starting to get the impression that we have a misunderstanding here: the player doesn't have to click on the bobber while it's moving, but shortly after. I'll change the first post to be more clear on this.

Moving the bobber as if a fish was pulling it is a good idea. I'll see what I can do without miles of code.

Yeah! Like catching sharks! Sounds fun, will work on this.

[Casimir]

You could change the colour during the time you have to click, so it will be clear without doubt. Also I would include the time it starts moving.

[Mossmanikin]

Aye, I will add the change in color, but make it optional (settings.txt).
Theoretically you already can click on the bobber while it's moving, but it's kind of hard to do.

[Mossmanikin]

Many thanx to Sokomine, Bas080 and Casimir for you ideas. Feedback like yours is really motivating.
Implemented my interpretation of most of your ideas, bigger fish will follow.

Update
- placable fishing rod for decoration
- make bobber move slowly while fish on hook
- change color of bobber when fish on hook (optional)

[Bas080]

Make catching a shark just as likely as throwing yahtzee. yahtzee == 5 of a kind

[Mossmanikin]

I agree, it should be hard to catch a shark. I'll test if it's any fun with this probability or not. Either way I'll give the player the option to change the probability in settings.txt.

Very nice mod.

When you put the fishing rod for decoration and you take it back the rod can't be used for fishing anymore and you can place an unlimited number of bugged decoration on blocks.

Otherwise, I do not understand where to find strings in the game.

Strings come from cotton. Cotton seeds come from digging junglegrass. Bam, there you go. EDIT: 800TH POST!
