Description from the author on Modrinth

Do you want to spice up your server's fishing experience? Then look no further: the all encompassing fishing plugin "EvenMoreFish" has arrived! Originally based off elsiff's "MoreFish" plugin, it's a feature rich plugin that aims to provide a unique experience to fishing, adding competitions, a fish shop, a journal, baits, and many, many more custom fish.

As a server admin, you're given a huge range of options to customise the fish for your server. No matter what type of fish you want to add to your server, it's possible with EvenMoreFish, with many options for customisation with more to come.

Out of the box you are given a set of over 70 fish for players to catch, it's possible to set where players can catch fish, if they should only be able to catch fish during competitions and who can catch fish.

  • Its item, with most settings configurable
  • Fish length
  • Biome-specific or region-specific fish (WorldGuard / RedProtect)
  • Send the player a message
  • Give the player a potion effect
  • Reward the player when caught, eaten, or sold
  • And more

Competitions can either be started by an admin, or started as part of a schedule defined in their config files, each different scheduled competition can run for however long you like and once the timer runs out, the players on the leaderboard will win rewards of your choosing.

As of v2.0.0, there are 8 competition types! That's:

  • Whoever catches the largest fish
  • Whoever catches the most fish
  • The first player to catch a specific rarity
  • The first player to catch a specific fish
  • Whoever catches the largest total length of all the fish they catch
  • Whoever catches the smallest fish
  • Whoever catches the least fish
  • A type that chooses randomly from one of the above
  • This variety in competition types means there's something for everyone, and the game doesn't become boring over time.

A bossbar with its own configurable colour shows the time remaining to all online players, and can be changed for each different competition you have set. In addition, as shown below, you can set different colours for different positions in the leaderboard - to make it as colourful as you like.

A way for your players to trade their fish in for money - the prices for fish can be modified to your liking. There's also item security in place that drops them at the player's feet in the event of them closing the inventory or a server shutdown.

)

The plugin also has baits, which boost the chance of catching fish - you can define which fish or rarities get affected and how likely they are to get affected in their config files. These can be obtained either by fishing or by running the command /emf admin bait Oheers (replacing my name with your desired user).

The plugin has placeholders for you to create holograms etc to display current competition standings using PlaceholderAPI. These can be found on our wiki.

There's just one permission for the admin commands (like /emf admin reload, /emf admin competition) which is emf.admin and 3 permissions for /emf shop, /emf top and /emf toggle - emf.shop, emf.top and emf.toggle, and finally one that isn't required but if requires-fishing-permission is set to true in your config.yml, your users will need emf.use_rod.
The latest dev build can be found on the the jenkins build server.

Java 21 is required to be able to run this plugin.

This plugin has been tested on the latest Paper version and may have minor bugs on any other versions. Please report any critical bugs via private support ticket on the Discord server (linked on the right side of the page)
