With random catch events, and making it easier to get a fish, even when the server is laggy. Using the plug-in is simple, just throw it in your plug-in folder. when ever a player starts fishing, its working! All events are simple, there is no gold - or unobtainable items - in fact most of the fishing events created in BigCatch are well balanced for any traditional survival server. No configs BigCatch Makes a great and FUN addition to any server! Features: Added random events, such as catching a leather hat, with a fish inside. Added the BIG CATCH, where a player gets 4 fish for the price of 1! Events range from Saving a drowning Pig, to catching a Squid!! Catch mobs hiding underwater! When a player has been fishing for 10 seconds, and fails to catch a fish he is then given a 45% chance to catch a fish, and then a range of other random events. but, if a player has been fishing for 5 seconds or more, and catches a fish, they will receive a BIGCATCH - 3 additional fish.
