Expands the capabilities of all fishing rods, as well as adding 2 new fishing rod enchantments.

Features

Fishing Rod Changes

Added the following capabilities to all fishing rods:

  • Pull Paintings off walls [1]
  • Steal first the item from an item frame, and then pull the item frame off the wall [1]
  • Snatch leashed mobs from leash knots [1]
  • Pull shulkers towards you [1]
  • Try and fail to pull in an end crystal (it explodes) [1]
  • Dismount the pulled mob from what they're riding (Bedrock Parity)


  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 In vanilla, these entities can be hooked with a fishing rod, but the only thing that happens is durability gets used. As such, interactions have been added.

Barbed

Barbed is an enchantment that revolves around dealing damage, turning a fishing rod into a lethal weapon. It has 5 levels and is exclusive with Reeling.

Barbed applies an initial scratching damage to the hooked mob on pulling and then bleeding damage over time.

The level scales both the scratching damage, and the frequency of bleeding damage. Damage over time lasts 3 seconds, regardless of enchantment level.

Reeling

Reeling is an enchantment that revolves around stealing or yoinking certain items from entities. It has 1 level and is exclusive with Barbed.

These interactions are locked behind an enchantment either for balance reasons, or gameplay reasons, allowing normal rods to maintain the interaction of simply pulling the entity.


Adds the following interactions on pulling in the entity type:

  • Pull the chest from chest boats, emptying the items on to the ground
  • Pull the associated block type from minecart variants
  • Steal armor from armored wolves
  • Steal a snow golems carved pumpkin
  • Steal a sheep's wool right off their skin
  • Steal a mooshroom's mushrooms, turning them into cows
  • Steal honeycomb from a bee carrying nectar, making it angry at you
  • Steal a horse's armor and saddle
  • Steal saddles from mobs that can wear saddles
  • Steal chests from ChestedHorses, emptying the items on to the ground
  • Steal carpets from llamas' backs
  • Steal armor from mobs that can wear armor from survival means
  • Steal held items from mobs that can hold items in hands
    • Stealing a held item from a villager sells out that trade and gives the player a 20 major negative reputation
    • Stealing a trident from a drowned will roll a random chance with a 11.5% chance of success (unless the mainhand drop chance is not default) this is the same chance as using looting 3. If the chance fails, the trident will break.
  • Steal a happy ghast's harness
  • Steal an enderman's held block
