BigFish: Ripple

BigFish: Ripple is a Minecraft Forge mod focused on fishing, fish collection, cooking, and bounty-based progression.

It expands vanilla fishing into a more rewarding survival activity. Explore different waters, catch fish with unique attributes, record your discoveries, cook fish-based meals, and complete bounty tasks for rewards.

If vanilla fishing feels too simple, BigFish: Ripple gives fishing, aquatic exploration, and food crafting a stronger sense of progression.
