Starcatcher is an amazing mod adding a fishing minigame where a pointer revolves in circles, where you have to time it with sweet spots to advance the minigame. It has a large assortment of fish, and many different varieties on the minigame, where many fish especially the harder ones have unique challenges to catching them.

Something that is very welcome especially to mod/modpack developers like myself is data and registry driven design, making some base behaviours modifiable by any modpack dev. Nnew types of conditions, minigame modifiers and so on are simple enough to add through Java.

Its art is nice, can be a bit here or there I guess, though that may be a result of pulling art from various sources and artists.

It has many first party integrations with other mods such as Create (new fishes), and compatibility with fishes from other mods, and with mechanics like seasons from mods like TerraFirmaCraft. This means the mod can be drag and drop, though as the dev as said (afaik) these integrations are being thought over to make them better.

Modded biomes, since they currently rely on their common biome tags for compatibility, can be a bit barren especially in conditions like rain or ever just shine, and few fish types can be found in them.
