Fishcasting

Hex Casting x Tide 2 addon that adds things I like for what I think is a more fun experience when hexcasting and fishing.

The Tacklebox Chair is awesome — The Tacklebox Chair is quite handy, allowing any player seated to automatically pocket recently-caught fish, even bucketing them if a valid bucket is present in the container! Also doubles as a journal, if shift-right clicked from the side! · swipe

Game versions1.21.1

(Quite alpha-ish, esp. since Hex Casting is not yet published on 1.21) Currently 0.2.10 is using build 43 of Hex Casting 1.21.1 (Which you may find a link to in the official Hex Casting discord server's announcements channel, @ ci.blamejared)

A small 1.21.1 interoperability mod for Tide 2.1.1 and Hex Casting.

Soon-to-be beta as I've added all the most important features I want from this! Full release at some point in the future...

Read the Hex Notebook! Now with a hexdoc-wiki! (which is also in the hexbook!)

Alternative demo in the dropdown. Much slower than the featured one but shows off Length Purif. and HUD change.

List of Additions and changes
  • Crystal Fishing Rod renamed to Crystal Casting Rod and cost changed to Charged Amethyst

  • Crystal Casting Rod can open the hexcasting grid

  • Amethyst Bobber cost changed to Crystalline Carp

  • Amethyst Bobber now executes stored Hex on reel (so cool...)

  • Unlucky Bait which prevents fish from ever biting

  • Benign Bait which prevents anything but fish from ever biting

  • Loud Line which prevents certain mobs from attacking you when line is cast

  • Hookless Hook which prevents your thrown bobber from getting caught on entities

  • Tacklebox Chair which automatically buckets, or otherwise takes a seated player's recently caught fish into its own inventory. Also shows a toast for the fish and its size when boxed! (It's nice!)

  • Message in a Bottle left by fishers long gone. Contains some random junk and some random tresaure! It is quite rare and won't be the easiest way to progress, but at least it will be an option. Found in warm ocean biomes.

  • Blessed Bobber which adds a very low chance (<0.1%) to reel a random catch from a combined pool of all fish, crates and loot at equal distribution

  • Blessed Bobber acts the same as the Amethyst Bobber now does otherwise

  • Royalty-Free Music Disc added, "Returning To The Surface" by "cookies+policy" on freesound.org

  • Fish added

  • Trader added to enable certain progression (both for Vanilla and for Hex Casting) without going to the end/nether. Hope you've got flint!

  • Another casting rod as an upgrade to the Crystal Casting Rod, without durability

  • Various recipe additions and changes, intended to allow for more routes of progression without invalidating the current progression. (Please tell me if some of these recipe changes/additions are something that I should disable because I have not published a mod like this before.)

  • Several patterns and spells for you to play around with!

Feedback regarding recipes is welcome, please open a github issue and I am quite likely to make changes based on provided feedback. If you wish to make contributions, please do, I will try to be as reasonable as I can.

Feel free to include this in any modpack if you please.

I will likely not be backporting this mod to 1.20.1. (Sorry!)
