Aquaculture x Tide Connection

Aquaculture x Tide Connection makes Aquaculture 2 and Tide work as one fishing system. Tide stays in charge of fishing, and everything Aquaculture adds plugs into it.

Fish

• All 33 Aquaculture fish can be caught with Tide’s fishing (minigame included), in the biomes Aquaculture uses.
• Each one has its own Fishing Journal entry: description, location, rarity, size records and 3D model.
• Aquaculture fish buckets work with Tide. The fish also fit in the Fish Satchel, can be cooked the Tide way and are accepted as cat food.
• Fish that exist in both mods (rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, bluegill, carp, catfish, arapaima, tuna) are kept as separate entries, marked “(Aquaculture)” in their name.
• Aquaculture fish are given half their original weight, so Tide’s own fish stay as common as before.
• Future Aquaculture fish are added automatically: any fish in Aquaculture’s fishing table without a hand-made entry gets a generic journal entry, catchable in exactly the same places as in Aquaculture.

Rods

• The four Aquaculture rods (iron, gold, diamond, neptunium) become Tide rods: minigame, bait slots, accessories, crates and journal.
• They keep Aquaculture’s durability. Bait slots: 2 (iron, gold), 3 (diamond), 4 (neptunium).
• Since Tide already has iron, golden and diamond rods, Aquaculture’s are marked “(Aquaculture)” in their name.

Hooks, bait and accessories

• Aquaculture hooks fit on any Tide rod and keep their effects:
  • Gold: +1 luck
  • Iron / Diamond: 20% / 50% chance not to use rod durability
  • Light / Heavy: longer or shorter cast
  • Double: 10% chance to reel in two fish
  • Note: plays a sound when a fish bites
  • Redstone: the fish moves 15% slower in the minigame
  • Nether Star: +1 luck, 50% durability save, and lets you fish in lava
• The worm is a Tide bait (faster bites).
• Aquaculture’s fishing line and bobber are Tide rod accessories.

Loot

• Tide fishing can bring up Aquaculture junk and treasure: driftwood, boxes, lockboxes, treasure chests, messages in a bottle…
• Neptune’s Bounty can be found, very rarely, in open ocean water.
• Aquaculture’s fillet knives also work on Tide fish.

Aquaculture Buddycards (optional)

• The two Buddysteel fishing rods become Tide rods (minigame, bait slots, accessories): 3 bait slots for the Buddysteel rod, 4 for the Charged one.
• The Charged Buddysteel rod keeps its collection tiers: name, tooltip, texture and bonuses, now applied to Tide fishing (lure speed, luck and Buddysteel Hook bonus grow with your Buddycard collection).
• The Buddysteel Hook fits on Tide rods and keeps its bonus: 5% chance of an extra catch (more with a Charged rod), a Buddycard pack (40%) or a Cardfish (60%), which appears on the player.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge
• Tide 2.1.x (2.1.1 or later) and its dependency Cloth Config
• Aquaculture 2.7 or later (tested with 2.7.21)
• Optional: Twilight Forest, for the Starshell Turtle
• Optional: Aquaculture Buddycards, for the Buddysteel rods and hook

Known limitations

• The Aquaculture tackle box no longer accepts rods, since they are now Tide rods. It still works as storage.
• Aquaculture and Buddysteel rods from an existing world lose the hook, bait, line and bobber they had equipped.
• Fish mounts are not changed.
