Angler Fishing

Changelog

All notable changes to AnglerXP are documented here. Format based on Keep a Changelog; versioning is SemVer.

[1.0.0] - 2026-06-27

First working release: a client-side fishing progression layer with collection tracking, cosmetic themes, and prestige. Fully client-side — it never changes what the server gives you.

Added

Catch tracking

• Server-aware catch detection via inventory diffing, so it works on custom servers that put caught fish straight into your inventory (no reliance on vanilla loot entities).
• Fish identification from a bundled data table of 71 species, matched by custom model data (with a display-name fallback).
• Rarity tiers (Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Legendary) driving XP, colours, and badges.
• XP and angler levels with a gentle streak multiplier for back-to-back catches.

Collection & stats (open with J)

• Collection book listing every species caught, coloured by rarity, sorted by count.
• Lifetime totals: catches, distinct species, best streak.
• Time-spent-fishing tracker (lifetime + per session), counted only while a line is in the water.

Badges

• Per-species medals — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond — shown next to each fish.
• Thresholds scale by rarity, so commons take a real grind while rare fish badge up sooner.

Titles

• Milestone rank titles from Novice up to Legendary Angler, shown on the HUD and collection screen.

HUD themes

• Level-unlocked colour themes: Ocean (5), Forest (15), Sunset (30), Midnight (50), Prestige Gold (75).
• Switch themes with ← / → in the collection screen; choice is saved.
• Theme recolours the fishing HUD, the XP bar/level, and all in-game interfaces.

Interface theming

• Optional takeover of the vanilla XP bar and level number, recoloured to your theme (defers to the vanilla jump bar while mounted).
• Theme tint applied across all GUI screens — inventory, chests, menus, and more — while leaving items, text, and the player model untouched.

Prestige (unlocks at level 75)

• Rebirth that fully wipes progression (level, XP, collection, badges, lifetime stats).
• Confirmation prompt before committing (P to start, Enter to confirm).
• Rewards: a prestige numeral + star on your title (e.g. Master Angler ✦II) and three exclusive prestige-only themes — Abyssal, Crimson, Void.
• Legacy viewer (L in the collection screen): browse archived snapshots of every past life.

Celebrations

• Toasts and sounds for new discoveries, badge tier-ups, level-ups, title promotions, theme unlocks, treasure catches, and prestige.

Changed

• The default theme is now plain Vanilla: fresh players — and each fresh prestige — see stock Minecraft with no tint or XP-bar takeover until they choose a theme.

Configuration

Stored in config/anglerxp.json:

• replaceXpBar — recolour the vanilla XP bar/level (default true).
• tintInterfaces — apply the theme tint to all GUI screens (default true).
• selectedTheme — the active HUD theme.
