hellomessage BetterFishing completely eliminates the slow, repetitive "wait-and-click" mechanic of vanilla Minecraft. Say goodbye to the boring waiting game; every cast is now a skill-based, high-stakes minigame packed with rewards and progression.

key

  • Action-Bar Minigame: As soon as a fish bites, hit the Green Zone to secure your catch. Miss it, and the fish gets away!

  • Perfect Catches: Lock in the exact center (|) to trigger a "Critical Shot"—granting +10% Extra Weight and 2x XP.

catching fish

  • Dynamic Scaling: No hard level caps! Everyone has a chance, but as your Fishing Level climbs, your mathematical odds of pulling Epic and Legendary monsters skyrocket.

  • Treasures & Lockpicking: Occasionally hook a Treasure Chest instead of a fish. Pass the minigame 3 times in a row to unlock massive payouts or rare loot!

  • Advanced Rod Upgrades: Spend your earnings to slow down the cursor, widen the Green Zone, or boost your treasure find rate.

  • Zone Efficiency: When too many fish are caught in an area, that area's productivity starts to decrease. This system encourages the player to be active and prevents AFK.

  • Special Feeds: Using specialized baits can lead to better fish catches.

🛠 Technical Highlights

  • /fish: Manage your profile, view your collection, upgrade your gear, and instantly sell your haul to the Vault economy.

  • Global Record Broadcasts: When a server-wide weight record is broken, the plugin notifies everyone. Become the legend of the lobby!

  • PlaceholderAPI Support: Display levels, XP, and record holders directly on your scoreboards, holograms, or chat.
