BigFish: Ripple

BigFish: Ripple is a Minecraft Forge mod focused on fishing, fish collection, cooking, and bounty-based progression.

It expands vanilla fishing into a more rewarding survival activity. Explore different waters, catch fish with unique attributes, record your discoveries, cook fish-based meals, and complete bounty tasks for rewards.

If vanilla fishing feels too simple, BigFish: Ripple gives fishing, aquatic exploration, and food crafting a stronger sense of progression.

Features

• More fish and aquatic life Adds new fish with different appearances, attributes, drops, and basic behaviors.

• Fish attribute system Some fish have attributes such as weight, strength, stamina, perception, and luck. These attributes can affect fish records, bounty submissions, and reward checks.

• Fish Ledger Record the fish you have caught, view fish data, and claim rewards based on your catches.

• Bounty Board Take on fishing, collection, treasure, and attribute-based bounty tasks to earn rewards.

• Exploration tools Use items such as the Gem Compass, Sea Shanty Harmonica, and Treasure Map to find target fish, discover treasure, and progress through bounty tasks.

• QTE fishing minigame Makes fishing more interactive instead of simply waiting and reeling in.

• Fish cooking and placeable food Cook different fish-based meals with special effects. Some advanced dishes can also be placed in the world as 3D food models and eaten step by step.
