Minecraft plugin EvenMoreFish

🔌 About EvenMoreFish

EvenMoreFish is a Minecraft plugin that extends the vanilla fishing experience by adding custom fish, rarities, baits, competitions, shop selling and related administration tools. The project is provided with configuration and translation support and is distributed with builds targeting modern server versions.

🎯 Purpose

Provide server owners with a configurable competitive fishing system and expanded fishing rewards. It centralizes fishing mechanics (custom drops, rarity tiers, bait effects), event/competition management, and an in-game shop for converting caught fish into server currency.

⚙️ Features

• Custom fish and custom item support (including heads/base64 items and optional effects on catch).
• Rarities system with configurable colours, frequencies and per-fish length settings.
• Baits to alter catch chances, with admin commands for giving and clearing baits.
• Scheduled or staff-triggered competitions with configurable rewards and bossbar feedback.
• In-game shop to sell fish with per-rarity multipliers and protected shop inventories.
• Player-facing GUI elements: main menu, shop GUI, bait application GUI, journal/collection GUI.
• Admin tools: give fish, list rarities/fish/reward types, NBT rod, reload, version info, migration and debug database commands.
• Database migration tooling (Flyway) and commands for managing migrations.
• Configurable messages/translations and extensive YAML-based configuration.

🧩 Who It Is For

• Survival and SMP servers looking to enrich fishing as a minigame or economy activity.
• Servers that want scheduled or staff-run fishing competitions and in-game sell mechanics.
• Admins who need configurable, translation-ready plugin behavior and database-backed features.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• Run weekly fishing competitions where players compete for the longest/rarest catches.
• Use baits to create progression or seasonal events that alter catch probabilities.
• Provide a fish shop that converts catches into server currency for an in-game economy.
