Actual Fishing makes vanilla fishing more physical and believable. Instead of immediately receiving a fish item, the player pulls a living fish from the water.

The caught fish continues moving after it lands on the shore. To prepare the catch, interact with it using a sword. The fish is then converted into raw meat that can be cooked on a campfire, in a furnace or in a smoker.

Main features
- Live fish are caught instead of static inventory icons.
- Fish visibly move on land after being pulled from the water.
- A sword is used to prepare the catch and collect raw meat.
- Raw fish can be cooked using standard survival blocks.
- The mechanics are designed for ordinary survival and remain compatible with achievements.

Both the behavior pack and resource pack must be active for the models, animations and gameplay mechanics to work together correctly.
