I don't know my version or loader
Requires the library mod Collective (Fabric) and the Fabric API.
This mod is part of The Vanilla Experience.
Fish On The Line is a mod which can help you catch fish without your full attention. When you hold a bell in your offhand while fishing, it will make a sound whenever there's a fish on the line. You could watch something else and just right-click when you hear a sound.
Works well with the Recast and Village Bell Recipe mods.
Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
mustHoldBellInOffhand (default = true): If enabled, the fish on the line sound will only go off if a bell is held in the offhand while fishing.
