T= trapdoor

F= fishing rod
Requires bait to be placed in it every so often for it to work. A hopper can be placed under it to collect the drops.

So who can make this module
Lue26-Nov-18 12:30 AM
This is an interesting idea.
I could work on the module.
However it might be hard to implement "Nearby fish swim to it".
Would it be possible to just "suck in" the fish?
BluePsychoRanger26-Nov-18 12:36 AM
You could make fish in a certain radius, always face the trap, using the tp command
Lue26-Nov-18 12:36 AM
that's a good idea.
I'll probably just disable the fish's AI and simulate it going in like that.

how would you make it face the trap with tp?(edited)
BluePsychoRanger26-Nov-18 12:37 AM
I was gonna say just tp them, then I realized you can make them face it
Lue26-Nov-18 12:37 AM
teleport ... facing
(edited)
Chopper211226-Nov-18 12:37 AM
oh yeah I'm dumb xd
Lue26-Nov-18 12:37 AM
alright this is a really cool idea.
I'll work on the module.
iGalaxy26-Nov-18 02:35 AM
akr approves so it must be good

Why would this module be useful?
Fish don't drop anything special
BluePsychoRanger26-Nov-18 09:09 AM
Passive-working fish farm. It adds a reliable source of food, similar to that of chicken farms.
Maybe we could add a rare chance to pick up random loot as well, so it's not only fish?
Misode26-Nov-18 09:13 AM
I think the "making fish swim into it" feels a bit weird
BluePsychoRanger26-Nov-18 09:15 AM
You have to add bait to it. The fish get “attracted” to the bait
Sparks26-Nov-18 09:04 PM
I love this idea
It can use a slow clock to lazily look for fish in range. Then a faster clock only if fish are being "attracted" with a tp command as akr suggests.
I would suggest making the fish drop themselves when caught. or alternatively it could require empty buckets which are filled with fish-in-a-bucket items.
federick26-Nov-18 09:06 PM
but how are you gonna display the buckets and stuff?
Sparks26-Nov-18 09:07 PM
if it was a dropper it could look for buckets or buckets of water in each slot?
But I don't mind if that's not how it works
I'm just spitballing
federick26-Nov-18 09:08 PM
I see, my mind got stuck at armor stand models xD
BluePsychoRanger26-Nov-18 09:25 PM
Just drop it as an item, and the player can choose to place a hopper directly below. If they don’t, then the items will simply float to the surface of the water
Sparks26-Nov-18 09:40 PM
I feel like a fish trap would... contain the fish it trapped, right?
A fish trap that just kills fish around it is called "radioactive" or "a bomb" XD
federick26-Nov-18 09:42 PM
Mutant fish when
tomh26-Nov-18 09:43 PM
That would be really funny
Tnt or creepers underwater bring up dead fish
Sparks26-Nov-18 09:50 PM
I've wanted to do TNT fishing for years XD
I guess now they're entities you technically could.
Giovata26-Nov-18 09:52 PM
What about electrocuting the water, maybe with redstone?
tomh26-Nov-18 09:54 PM
Have a fish attractor and then a redstone lamp in the water that shocks them
That sounds a bit mean now
Lue26-Nov-18 10:47 PM
I like all these ideas
since I finished my guardian farm and am afking there I will start working on this
Sparks26-Nov-18 11:00 PM
I think the main issue you'll face is fish that don't have a valid straight path between them and the fish trap.
BluePsychoRanger26-Nov-18 11:04 PM
Oh yeah that’s true
Maybe check if the block in front of the fish is not water, and make it turn left or right, for a while, then it’ll later try to realign with the fish trap. This could cause the fish to “escape the bait” because it could move outside the radius.
Chopper211226-Nov-18 11:09 PM
from my limited experience playing with custom polar bear behaviors, I think that could potentially be glitchy/buggy since there's many possible scenarios of where the fish could be and the terrain around it(edited)
but it's as good a solution as any
Misode27-Nov-18 08:51 AM
are there mobs that automatically attract fish? Idk items or dolphins?
BluePsychoRanger27-Nov-18 09:09 AM
there aren't afaik
iGalaxy09-Dec-18 04:14 AM
Any work been done on this?
Lue09-Dec-18 04:15 AM
a bit but I've been busy
ChumbleWeasel16-Dec-18 11:24 AM
It would be nice to get stuff like ink sacks as well
iGalaxy01-Jan-19 10:20 AM
yeah and bone meal every so often, as like a fish bone
