You must use a Starcatcher rod, unless the mod's author has added compatibility on their side with Starcatcher's fishing minigame. Each fish and trophy is fully customizable through datapacks, perfect for modpacks looking to further customize the fishing experience! Reach out to me on discord and I'll be happy to help. Check the wiki (wip) page on how to add your custom fish or trophy json with your restrictions, starcatcher will handle everything else. ## Credits There have been a lot of different artists who were either comissioned or donated their time out of their own will to contribuite to the mod!
