These are some Improvements I have thought up for fishing:
1.) You need to bait the rod.
Isn’t it just a little weird how fish come to your fishing rod for no reason whatsoever?
2.) Different kinds of fish.
Its very boring and repetitive catching the same thing over and over.
3.) Reeling in the fishing rod.
better than just clicking.
Bait-
Using different baits would either increase or decrease the speed and rareness of the fish coming to you.
- Rotten flesh would be fishes least favorite food with the current catch rate now
- White meats such as chicken would be slightly better than rotten flesh with rarer fish having a chance of capture
- Red meats like pork and steak would have a much better rate as well as rarer fish
- Apples will be the fish’s favorite food with the highest rates and rarest fish (because of the worms in the apple)
- This feature would make it more interesting and faster to catch fish
- each bait would work twice before ‘breaking’ like the carrot on a stick item
- rotten flesh and apples are just placeholders for worms/flys
More fish in the sea-
The more the merrier, right? this would make it more exciting.
- fishee types: Sardine, normal fish, catfish (only in swamps), red bass, eel, golden tuna
- spawn rates, respectively: 40%, 30-40%, 10%, 10%, 7%, 3%
- whether or not tunas are golden they will still be awesome
Reeling-
You can’t say clicking once to make a fish fly at you is realistic...
- Would be done with the up/down arrow keys or, for people with the right mouse, the scrollie thing
- Wouldn’t be that much different from normal fishing
- fish would bite for longer time to make up for reeling time
- would work fairly quickly
Questions-
Won’t this make fishing harder?
Yes, but honestly, how much did you fish before this and how much would you fish after it?
Is this overpowered?
No, because the rare spawn rates would be fairly low.
Can’t you get tons of bait and get this done easily?
Yes, but the provided spawn rates are for apples, a rarer than normal item. for rotten flesh it would be much lower.
Is reeling going to be hard?
Not especially. It will be just so the line shortens and the hook comes to you instead of flying fish.

Sounds supportable, I like it

More food tiers aren't needed. Fishing isn't any sort of mini game that's supposed to be fun

I think it's fine no realism needed here

Bait is cool to have but unnecessary should there be one fish (Like I think it should be, MAYBE two or three)

The more the unnecessarier (Made that up!) As I said earlier. This principle is said many times EG in mo' creatures food etc threads

What's the point of this? Realism? Not really needed, I mean this is minecraft where we punch trees to get logs

Fishing is very useful, FYI it takes up no hunger while you earn food
Is this overpowered?
No, because the rare spawn rates would be fairly low.
Agreed, not OP

1.) You need to bait the rod.
Isn’t it just a little weird how fish come to your fishing rod for no reason whatsoever? Well, this is true. It seems the fish are gullible enough to be attracted to a plain bobber. I think adding a lure might be an extra little chore to add to fishing rods. However, if adding lures were more capable of (somehow) attractive a specific kind of fish, then the effort would be worth it.
2.) Different kinds of fish.
Its very boring and repetitive catching the same thing over and over. Agreed. I'm all for different kinds of fish with different kinds of hunger (or any other benefits) between fish types.
Bait-
-snip, all kinds of baits- Ahh, so you did have a plan for baits. Good stuff, but some of those lures like Rotten Flesh and Apples don't seem very... fishing like. If my logic is wrong here, please disprove it, because I really wantto be wrong here. I'm no IRL fishing expert.
More fish in the sea-
-snip of fish types- Hells yes.
Reeling-
You can’t say clicking once to make a fish fly at you is realistic... I'd personally prefer the simple clicking thing.

Hey, you there. Yes, you! Are you thinking about posting a suggestion on the forums anytime soon? If so, please read this before doing so.
omg another believer in the golden tuna... this is amazing. but sorry I can't support this. I don't think it fits into minecraft very well. I prefer the less complex fishing.
