Behavior

Whenever your fishing bobber is inside a body of water, particles will spawn around it:

• green particles when the bobber is in open water
• flame particles when it isn’t

The Minecraft Wiki defines open water as:

the 5×4×5 vicinity around the bobber resting on the water surface (2 blocks away horizontally,
2 blocks above the water surface, and 2 blocks deep). Each horizontal layer in this area must consist only of air and
lily pads or water source blocks, waterlogged blocks without collision (such as signs, kelp, or coral),
and bubble columns.

Keybind

The mod can be toggled ON and OFF through the use of the Toggle Detector keybind in the Open Water Detector section (Default: O).

Keep in mind that the mod will be ON by default whenever you start your game.
