[b]Like the link, maybe Notch will take these ideas! :) The more people that like it, the higher the chance it will be noticed by Mojang.
If Mojang sees it... we'll be [i]winning![/i]

[highlight]The first test version has been released![/highlight]
[QUOTE=iPope;28672365]Dun dun dunnnnn! The release is here.

[B]Download:[/B] [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/minecraft8.rar[/url]

To download you need to extract the files, open minecraft.jar in winrar and then place in the files. [B]Make sure to delete META-INF for any mod to work.[/B]

So this is the first test release. I'll list the features but to make it easier for you guys by placing one plank in the crafting grid you can make a fishing rod, just a cheat I added to make testing easier. Feature List:

All the fish mentioned on the previous page. You can catch, cook and eat them.
Skeleton fish and Jelly are normal items. Turn skeleton fish into bone.
Make gold fish by surrounding the raw fish with gold.
Sword fish are also normal items. Make a sword with two of them to make a fish sword.
You can catch sticks and boots.

I think that is all. Comments and feedback will be appreciated. I have it installed on my minecraft proper right now and I have to say I am never getting rid of it.[/QUOTE]

[b]Fish Mod Concept Idea[/b]

Fishing is fairly simple in minecraft, only one type of fish, so I came up with a few ideas and did some pixel art. Unfortunately I don't know how to code, otherwise I would have already made the mod myself.

I'm not the most profound pixel artist, but you get the idea.

[release][b]Skeleton Fish![/b]
[img_thumb]http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/5540/skeletonfishbig.png[/img_thumb]
You could put this in the crafting zone and make bonemeal out of it. An alternative to bones that you get from killing Skeletons.[/release]

[release][b]Golden Fish![/b]
Either could be a rare catch, or you could surround a fish with gold bars, like how you make golden apples. When you eat this fish, you'd get healed fully.

[release][b]Poison Fish![/b]
[img_thumb]http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg69/scaled.php?server=69&filename=poisonfish.png&res=gal[/img_thumb]
I might actually change the art up, I might make a puffer fish for this one. You could put this in the same crafting area as when you are making a sword to make a poisoned weapon that deals damage over time that would last for a few seconds. The cooked image is more or less a joke - you probably wouldn't want to eat this.[/release]

[release][b]Jellyfish![/b]
[img_thumb]http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/6025/jellyfishbig.png[/img_thumb]
I don't really know what uses it could be for yet. Put in furnace or crafting area for jelly, or something?[/release]

[release][b]Net! (Crappy picture, I will eventually redo it, unless you guys think it looks alright.)[/b]
[img_thumb]http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/8671/netbig.png[/img_thumb]
Leave it in the water, catch fish! Open it up like a chest and get phat loot![/release]

[release][b]Swordfish![/b]
[img_thumb]http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/4201/swordfishbig.png[/img_thumb]
Use this either as a source of food, or as a weapon! [durability of wood, powerful as iron][/release]

[BluFox]

It seems like it be more fun and worthwhile to fish then. Add some more fishies

[Crossu88]

Jellyfish.

[MonkeyFun]

[QUOTE=Crossu88;28442703]Jellyfish.[/QUOTE]

Yes! I'm gonna work on one right now.

[meepugh]

Seahorse.

[Chickens!]

Flying fish.

[BluFox]

What would be the point of it?

[editline]5th March 2011[/editline]

Both of those.

[Galago]

How about a fishing bait system? You might be able to use different found items (mushrooms, types of flowers, etc.) as bait with different effectiveness.

[Zeke129]

Add nets that accumulate fish over time, they could work like auto-filling chests that have to be placed in water.

Occasionally you should get leather boots and other funny stuff in them

[Rama214]

Swordfish!

[triorio]

Rare big fishes which when you catch them will fly towards you and eat you for 1hp then jump back in.

[img_thumb]http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/6752/poisonfishbig.png[/img_thumb]

I'll be adding more fish later, as well.

So what do you guys think? Should I find some people to help me code this, or is this a dumb/already been used idea?[/QUOTE]

I've wanted "enchanted" weapons for a long time, I would love something like this.

[BluFox]

Looks great! I think the jelly should be a food source. And if you craft with bread you get more health. :D

[MonkeyFun]

[ChaosUnleash]

You should be able to like put the fish you've caught down, I want to make a glass wall aquarium for my house and have fish swimming about in it, although I think that would be quite hard to code.

[TheCactusman]

Why not add an Old Boot? You could wear it maybe?

[SolarErosion]

Do what you said with the jellyfish and make it so the jelly can be crafted with the bread.

[Aces]

I made something! :buddy:

Red snapper

Awesome! I added it to the OP, with credits to you of course.

[Aces]

[QUOTE=MonkeyFun;28445432]Awesome! I added it to the OP, with credits to you of course.[/QUOTE]

Woah, thanks!

[imptastick2]

You should be able to catch squids for their inksac

also maybe have some items that you can catch (boots, can, seaweed, bucket, etc.)

one Idea would be drift wood, it could not be crafted but could be used for decoration or burn in the furnace

[BluFox]

Oh shit make a fuckin narwal holy shit

[MonkeyFun]

[QUOTE=BluFox;28445726]Oh shit make a fuckin narwal holy shit[/QUOTE]

YES. I will later tonight for sure.

[imptastick2]

Turtles and tadpoles/frogs would be cool

[BluFox]

[QUOTE=MonkeyFun;28445829]YES. I will later tonight for sure.[/QUOTE]

Oh my god make it so you can ride it holy shit

[Aces]

[QUOTE=imptastick;28445958]Turtles and tadpoles/frogs would be cool[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure a Frog/Turtle mod has been made before, not sure about tadpoles.

There should also be Calamari, if you catch a squid or whatever, you craft it with grain to get it.

[phuw]

Make a puffer! :buddy:

[Eeshton]

Shark? Obviously, would be the hostile fish of the ocean, not really original.

[Devious Tophat]

I think this is a good idea. Notch will probably make some more variables of fish but it's going to be a while until that actually happens so hopefully they'll be a mod for this at some-point.

This is a slightly neater layout if you want to use it - I also made the text more clear [Use quote button to copy code, if you want to use it]

Notch said he was never going to put sea mobs in, to hard for the player apparently.
