Tide 2

Tide v2.1 - 6/21/26

Changes

Accessories

• Accessories and other items that modify fishing have been reworked to fill designated categories. The general rule of thumb is that hooks modify fish availability, lines modify the minigame, bobbers are cosmetic, bait modifies fishing stats, and fishing rods apply miscellaneous bonuses.
• Hooks, lines, and bobbers no longer have the text "Fishing" in their name. For example, the "Lavaproof Fishing Hook" is now called "Lavaproof Hook". This is also reflected in item IDs.
  • This eliminates the need for accessory.item.tide translations, instead using the direct item name

Bait

• Each fishing rod now has a variable number of bait slots, loosely corresponding to the rod's rarity
• Instead of applying the affects of only the bait item in the first slot, bait effects for all bait equipped in a fishing rod will be applied at once. This allows for bait "stacking", where you can combine the effects of multiple bait items.
• Multiple stacks of the same bait type cannot be equipped in the same fishing rod
• One bait item from each slot will be consumed upon catching a fish
• The effectiveness of higher levels of fishing speed has been slightly increased to counteract the biteTimeMultiplier of different fishing mediums

Fishy Notes

• Fish silhouettes are now shown in the fishy note GUI, helping you to identify which fish it might be.
• Reading a Fishy Note will now unlock it in the fishing journal under its corresponding fish.

Items

• Added 3 new fishing hooks:
  • Fiery Hook
  • Permafrost Hook
  • Twilight Hook
• Added 3 new fishing lines:
  • Copper Line
  • Iron Line
  • Diamond Line
• Added 6 new themed fishing rods:
  • Rod of Resonance (ancient city chests)
  • Prismarine Fishing Rod (drops from elder guardians)
  • The Suncatcher (rare catch in plains biomes)
  • Rod of the Hero (purchased from master fishermen villagers)
  • Beeline (rare drop from shearing beehives)
  • Blazing Fishing Rod (nether fortress chests)
• Added 2 new bait items:
  • Incandescent Bait
  • Abyss Bait
• Added Fish Finder (see below)

Informational Items

• Informational items such as the pocket watch and climate gauge now display their stats as a GUI overlay instead of requiring the player to right-click them
• The Lunar Calendar and Weather Radio can now be placed, showing their info when nearby the player
• Their information will be displayed when held in the player's mainhand, offhand, or equipped in a Curios/Trinkets slot.
• The Fish Finder can be created via a crafting recipe, allowing multiple stats to be viewed at once

Compatibility

• The Starcatcher minigame will be used instead of the Tide minigame if it's installed

Config

• The config has been split into a client and server file, with only the client file being changeable via the config screen
• Comments have been added to properties in the main config file
• NOTE: it's recommended to take a look at the new generated config file "tide.json5" and make sure that none of your config settings were lost (if you changed anything, they probably were).

Miscellaneous

• The Midas Fishing Rod can now reel in a bonus golden apple, golden carrot, and very rarely an enchanted golden apple or totem of undying (in addition to the regular gold ingots and blocks)
• Caught fish will no longer become "unbucketable" after a certain amount of time
• Lowered Midas Fish luck requirement from 7 to 5
• Fish Displays will scale the fish up or down depending on its length
