EpicAngler — Advanced Fishing Progression Plugin
EpicAngler is a fully YAML-configurable fishing overhaul that transforms vanilla fishing into a complete progression, economy, and competition system for Spigot/Paper 1.20.6–1.21.11 servers.
Core Features
Rarity-Based Fishing System
Players can catch fish across multiple rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.All aspects are fully configurable, including drop chances, colors, loot tables, and length scaling.
Fish names are dynamically generated from:
