FishingStats
Fishing in Minecraft has always been a relaxing pastime, but for those who want to turn it into a science, the guesswork ends here. FishingStats transforms the simple act of casting a line into a rich data-driven experience. This client-side Fabric mod works silently in the background, recording every single cast, catch, and bite time, then presents it all in a clean, customizable interface. Whether you are a treasure hunter, an AFK fisher, or just curious about your luck, FishingStats gives you the numbers to back up every story.
What Does FishingStats Track?
The core of FishingStats is its automatic detection system. Every time you cast your rod and something bites, the mod logs it instantly. This happens purely on your client, meaning it works flawlessly in singleplayer worlds and on multiplayer servers without any server-side installation. The mod categorizes every catch into distinct groups: Fish, Books, Rods & Equipment, Other Treasure, and Junk. It even goes a step further by tracking per-species counts, so you know exactly how many cod versus salmon you have pulled in.
Bite Timing and Rod Awareness
One of the most insightful features is bite timing. FishingStats measures the exact time from when you cast to when you get a bite for every single catch. This data becomes incredibly useful when combined with rod awareness. The mod stores the Luck of the Sea, Lure, and Unbreaking levels for each catch, allowing you to compare how different enchantment combinations affect your bite rates and treasure odds. Additionally, it records whether a catch happened in open water, giving you a clear picture of where your fishing spots are most productive.
Session Management and HUD Overlay
FishingStats is built around the concept of sessions. You can start, pause, and resume tracking with a single keybind. The ESC menu automatically pauses the session when you open it and resumes when you return to the game, ensuring your data stays accurate. For those who like to keep things tidy, there is an option to save the active session across world closes, so you can pick up right where you left off.
The HUD overlay is fully customizable. In full mode, it displays session duration, total casts, catches, treasure rate, and the last item you caught. If you prefer a minimalist approach, compact mode shows a clean one-line summary with just casts and catches. You can adjust the position to any corner of the screen, tweak opacity from 0 to 100 percent, scale it between 50 and 150 percent, and choose whether it is always visible or only appears while you are actively fishing.
Diving into Session History and Statistics
The sessions screen is where FishingStats truly shines. It allows you to browse all your past fishing sessions, showing the date, duration, total catches, and treasure rate for each one. Clicking into a session reveals a treasure trove of details: the time range, biome and dimension, cast and catch counts, a full category breakdown, and a complete list of catches per species. You can also view enchantment statistics to see catch rates compared by rod enchantment combination, and bite time analysis broken down per Lure level.
For those looking to improve, the session comparison feature is invaluable. It pits your latest session against your all-time average, highlighting differences in catches per hour and treasure share. The rare finds tracker is a favorite among treasure hunters, as it logs the biome and coordinates of every treasure catch, making it easy to return to that lucky spot.
Installation and Requirements
Getting started with FishingStats is straightforward. The mod requires Minecraft 26.2, Fabric Loader 0.19.2 or higher, and Fabric API. Java 25 or higher is also necessary. While ModMenu and YACL are recommended for the in-game config screen, they are not strictly required. The mod also supports English and German languages, making it accessible to a wider audience.
To begin, you will need to download FishingStats from a trusted source. The mod is open-source and licensed under the MIT License, with the source code available on GitHub. Once you have the jar file, place it in your mods folder. If you are using the foxygame.net launcher, the process is even simpler. The launcher features a one-click install for mods, and its add-on catalog includes FishingStats for Minecraft, ensuring you always get the correct version for your game setup. This integration also handles version compatibility checks automatically, so you can spend less time troubleshooting and more time fishing.
How to Install FishingStats Manually
For those who prefer a manual approach, the steps are simple. First, ensure you have the correct Fabric Loader and Fabric API installed for your Minecraft version. Next, download the FishingStats jar file and place it into the mods folder within your Minecraft directory. Launch the game with the Fabric profile, and the mod will be active. If you have ModMenu installed, you can access the full configuration screen directly from the mods list. Keybinds are set up under a dedicated "FishingStats" category in the controls menu, with O opening the main window, K toggling compact HUD mode, J starting or pausing a session, and R resetting the current session.
Who Is FishingStats For?
This mod is perfect for anglers who want to see which rod, biome, and technique actually pays off. Treasure hunters will love tracking treasure rates and remembering where rare finds dropped. AFK fishers can compare sessions and catches per hour at a glance. Ultimately, FishingStats is for anyone who casts a fishing rod in Minecraft and wants to understand the mechanics behind the catch. It is a powerful tool that adds a layer of depth to a classic activity, making every cast feel meaningful.
With its detailed statistics, intuitive HUD, and robust session management, FishingStats is an essential addition for any serious fisher.
