Full-featured fishing system with a Stardew Valley-inspired reel minigame, 30-level skill progression, tiered rods and bait, 17 fishing zones, 25+ fish species, trash/treasure rolls, and en/es/de localization. Built for VORP.

Overview

JP-Fishing replaces RedM's barebones native fishing with a complete angling system built around a Stardew Valley-style reel minigame. Players hold a green bar over a moving fish to fill a catch meter — higher-difficulty fish move faster, dart unpredictably, and drain progress when the bar slips off. Skill level, rod tier, and bait quality all affect the fight.

Key Features

Stardew-Style Reel Minigame

• NUI-rendered catch fight with smooth physics
• Fish difficulty scales speed, dart chance, and drain rate
• Green bar responds to spacebar — gravity pulls it down, reeling pushes it up
• Treasure chests can spawn mid-fight for bonus loot

30-Level Skill Progression

• Power-curve XP system (easy early ranks, long end-game grind)
• Configurable XP base, exponent, and per-level scaling
• Release fish for +50% XP (the XP path) or keep them to sell (the money path)
• Fishing in marked hotspot zones grants +50% XP bonus
• Rank titles: Novice → Journeyman → Expert → Master Angler

25+ Fish Species Across 3 Size Tiers

• Small panfish (Bluegill, Perch, Pickerel) — easy catches for beginners
• Medium game fish (Bass, Trout, Salmon) — require higher levels
• Large/Legendary fish (Catfish, Pike, Gar, Sturgeon, Muskie) — need upgraded rods
• Per-fish difficulty, weight ranges, XP values, and level/rod gates

3 Rod Tiers + Bait System

• Fishing Rod → Improved Rod → Master Rod (each widens the catch window)
• Bait types affect gravity, drain, fill speed, and magnetism
• Best bait in inventory auto-selected per cast

17 Fishing Zones Across the Map

• Novice, Journeyman, Expert, and Master waters
• Level-gated zones with map blips
• Optional open-water fishing anywhere on the map
• Zone XP bonus incentivizes using marked spots

Trash & Treasure System

• Configurable chance to pull junk instead of fish
• Mid-fight treasure chests with weighted loot tables (pearls, etc.)
