MythicRod
A small Paper plugin for custom fishing.
A small Paper plugin for custom fishing.
Heads up. This is a Paper plugin. Spigot might still run it, but it has not been tested on Spigot and nothing is guaranteed. The Paper jar lives on GitHub releases.
What it does
Replaces vanilla fishing with weighted, biome-scoped, permission-gated drop tables. Four rod tiers tune the odds. Stats, leaderboards, GUIs, PlaceholderAPI, and a developer API ship in the same jar.
Features
- Weighted drop tables. Per-category drops with weight, amount, custom name, lore, enchantments, glow, item flags, custom model data, and a per-drop permission.
- Biome filters. Each drop can list biomes, so ocean, desert, jungle each roll their own table.
- Four rod tiers. basic, advanced, legendary, mythic. Each is gated by its own permission and has a tunable luck multiplier in config.yml.
- Catch celebrations. Per-player particles and sound for every tier. Top tiers add a short helix, throttled to once per 4 seconds per player so it does not flood.
- Stats and leaderboard. Lifetime catches, per-tier counts, top fishers. Async flushed to YAML.
- GUI hub. Config toggles, drop editor (live, no reload), rod picker, stats viewer, language picker with curated head textures.
- Brigadier commands. Native tab completion. Live drop ids, categories, biomes, and player names from current state.
- PlaceholderAPI tokens. %mythicrod_total%, %mythicrod_legendary%, %mythicrod_rod_tier%, plus per-tier counts.
- Developer API. createRod(tier), previewEligibleDrops(uuid, biome), external drop providers, 5 Paper events (bite, roll, catch, stats, reload). Published through JitPack.
- Localisation. English and Japanese ship in the jar. Crowdin wired for more.
- Optional Nexo integration. Drop tables accept Nexo item ids when Nexo is installed.
- Folia ready. Scheduler hands off to the correct entity, region, or global thread on the Paper jar.
