Description

Open Water Detector

 

A Fabric mod to inform the user whether they are fishing in open water.

How to set up

Place the downloaded jar into your mods folder inside your Minecraft instance.

In order to find the location of your Minecraft instance:

Normal launcher - Any of the following:

- C:\Users\<YOUR_USER_NAME>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft

- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft

- %APPDATA%\.minecraft

MultiMC - Follow the steps:

1. Right-Click on your instance

2. Select "Minecraft Folder"

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.
