xRods is a plugin to improve fishing rods for 1.8 PvP servers. It works by enhancing the movement of fishing rods by simply increasing its momentum and also setting a timer to decrease it over-time.
xRods focuses on combat performance in order to have a smooth combat experience. The rod mechanic does not affect the server and has been tested with 80+ players and can handle many more.
All rod settings are super easy to configure from the plugin's config and reload with a single command.
Setting up the plugin is super easy; upload it to the plugins folder, and restart your server. The default configuration is currently the best setup, and it replicates larger networks.
