Made for Better Than Adventure (BTA) 8.0.1
Better Than Fishing
This mod aims to expand the fishing system of BTA by adding new items, blocks, and recipes. And is it really better than fishing...? I don't know.
What does it add?
Fish. Fishing rods, new items, recipes, blocks, and a tool tier (Iridescite).
Current mechanics
Gold Fishing Rod: Higher chance of catching "treasure" items. Diamond Fishing Rod: Chances of getting up to 3 items at a time. Iridescite Fishing Rod: Both Diamond and Gold mechanics.
How do I get Iridescite?
Currently, it's a quite rare material you can get by fishing. I might change the drop rates though, I'm not really satisfied with the result.
