Custom Model Data support for rod appearancesUpgradeable EnchantsManticRods includes 10 built-in enchants for fishing progression:
➙ Time Booster
➙ EXP Finder
➙ Money Finder
➙ Shard Finder
➙ Key Finder
➙ Spawner Finder
➙ Drop Booster
➙ Haste
➙ Autosell
➙ Auto Fishing — unlock it and toggle with [ICODE]/autofishing[/ICODE]; unavailable on 1.8
Create custom enchants directly in [ICODE]enchants.json[/ICODE]. Enchants can run commands, give economy rewards, apply potion effects, and more.
Command-based enchants can also choose rewards by weight. Set [ICODE]commandDispatchType[/ICODE] to [ICODE]"CHANCE"[/ICODE] and add [ICODE]CHANCE:[/ICODE] to each command. For example, weights of 80, 15, and 5 give the first reward an 80% selection chance, the second 15%, and the third 5%. This is useful for making rarer spawner rewards less common.

Per-Player Rods & PrestigeEach player can build their own rod progression and enchant setup. Prestige adds longer-term goals, with new unlocks, rewards, and income boosts as players progress.
Menus, Fish Prices & LeaderboardsThe central rod menu gives players quick access to enchant upgrades, fish prices, Prestige, leaderboards, and player settings. Players can track caught fish and shard rankings, and check fish sell prices from the menu.
Fishing Events & Player SettingsFishing event announcements show a hover hint and can be clicked to open Rod Settings, where players can toggle Event Notifications. The hint text is configurable in [ICODE]messages.yml[/ICODE]; set it to an empty value to hide the hint.
Players can also use [ICODE]/manticrod settings[/ICODE] to open Rod Settings at any time.
Catch HologramsOn supported Minecraft versions, successful catches can show a reward hologram above the fishing hook. Missed or mistimed catches can show an “Unlucky! Nothing caught” hologram. The text, rewards, height, duration, and display options are configurable.
Highly ConfigurableCreate different rod types in
rods.yml. Set per-rod enchant defaults and maximums, use placeholders to customize rod names and lore, and give each rod a unique look with Custom Model Data.
Configure fishing drops, fishing events, CAPTCHA behavior, player messages, economies, and more. Use [ICODE]/manticrod editor[/ICODE] for most settings or edit the files directly.
ManticRods fits survival, skyblock, prison, and custom economy servers that want fishing to provide a deeper progression and reward system.
