InterestingFish

Compatible with Minecraft 1.13+ (Tested on Minecraft 1.19)

This is a continuation / maintained version of the original plugin created by lazertester from Shotbow network. The original has not been updated since 2013.

The goal of this project is to maintain the original projects fully working operation for modern versions of the game as well as add new configurable features for people who want to do more with the plugin.

This continuation is entirely made in mind for my own personal server - but fully configurable with a default of original behavior.

What's different?

This is a list of everything that has been altered from the original from a users perspective:

• Full support for Minecraft 1.13+
• Added a configurable chance for breeds (and therefore, interesting fish)
• Added a configurable option to require luck of the sea enchant on a fishing rod to catch interesting fish
• Added a configurable option to exclude luck of the sea enchant on a fishing rod to catch interesting fish
• Added a configurable option to use player nickname instead of username on fish labels
• Added a configurable option to show fish label when right clicking an item frame
• Added MiniMessage support so that you can use fancy effects and full RGB color for fish descriptors and breeds
• Added a permission interestingfish.catch (default: true) for controling if a player can catch an interesting fish

Note that due to the flawed configuration system of the plugin, any new config options will reset your existing config. Therefore, your existing configs are not directly compatible with this continuation. You can simply merge the new options into your existing one. I hope to someday resolve this issue by rewriting how the plugin handles configuration so that I can also add comments explaining configuration options.
