Archived Re-adding The Plugin That Added Fishing Bite Chance

[thor5648]

About a year or so ago after bite chance had been removed entirely by mcmmo, MassiveCraft added a plugin that readded bite chance, so it was actually possible to fish. It maxed out at level 1,000 with (I believe) a 5% bite chance. Soon after the implementation the server updated and the plugin was promised to be re added in, but never was. I believe this was due to the enchant lure being put into minecraft, which by the way if you test it has almost no effect as you catch a fish maybe once every 30 seconds to a minute. I suggest adding in the bite chance plugin to fishing to make it so people with 1,000 fishing have a bite chance of 5%. This would re add a purpose to a now useless mcmmo skill, that all those people worked so hard to get.

Pros

• Gives people a reason to fish again
• Lets people get levels and enchant easier
• More fun overall

Cons

• Could be OP with fix power
• Some could claim it could ruin economy

Solution to Cons
We could get rid of fix power, or lower it, and it won't ruin the economy really because you do not get items from it anymore.

Actually, I quite like this. It'll give people a source of food again and, with the items removed, it wouldn't ave an adverse effect on the economy. It would actually just put more fish in there, allowing people to sell it again. I actually quite like this idea

I believe this was due to the enchant luck of sea being put into minecraft, which by the way if you test it has almost no effect as you catch a fish maybe once every 30 seconds to a minute

the reason that the enchant "luck of sea" doesn't increase bite chance is because the enchant "lure" does that

They needed to remove it as people kept getting kicked for auto fishing. As such, this will probably never be readded. It is too hard for the system to tell if someone is hacking or just has a high MCMMO level.

So it shouldn't be added because people are too tempted to hack...? Not sure if that is what you're saying... Or are you saying people were falsely banned for it...? If it is the second one a staff member goes up to them, hits them, and if they are afk yet still fishing then they get banned because it is obviously autofish... There is no "system" that bans them, go ask a moderator if you don't believe me.

We probably won't ever add back in that you can get items from fishing such as high enchanted gear and such as it is way to ruining to the economy and it is not very realistic that you fish diamonds and armor from the water with a pole... There was work being done on a bitechance plugin but at the moment we have atleast a full months work scheduled in coding and then we will see what comes up as most pressing issues.

This post was merely to ask for that bite chance plugin. I in no way shape or form am asking for items from the water. All I want is the fish and xp that I would get from a higher bite chance, not the items.

And on that note I will lock this as there is already work being done on what I suggested. Thanks!
