Enhanced HowToFish

A QOL-focused modpack for How To Fish, aimed at improving overall gameplay experience without changing the core game.

What's Included

• Dynamic Crosshair — marks where your gun is actually pointing and traces its live spread cone, including bullet drop and muzzle parallax (client-side)
• Boss Timer — shows the exact synchronized time remaining before the active boss leaves, via a native-style HUD
• Boss HP — shows the active boss's exact synchronized HP beside the native health bar, with matching damage-shake animation
• Mod Menu — settings-only native Mod Settings menu with automatic BepInEx plugin discovery and validated configuration controls
• Fish HP — shows the last locally damaged non-boss creature's synchronized HP and native-style health bar, with official boss-bar damage shake behavior
• Stackable Items — lets the same item stack into one inventory slot (up to 100 per slot, 64 by default), with items individually tracked so stacked items can retain different properties
• HTFSlide — adds sliding, a sprint toggle, and momentum-based launches when you slide off a ledge or jump mid-slide (client-side, only affects your own character)
• SeaLegs — see your own body in first person (legs, torso, arms, and whatever you're holding) instead of just floating hands (client-side)
• Fishydex — client-side QOL mod that shows which lure catches a specific fish (bosses like the larva whale won't show a lure since they can't be caught with one)
• StickyItems — makes dropped items and fish persist when you leave the area
• AmmoCount — shows your current and total bullet count for each weapon
• ModUpdateChecker — checks your installed mods against their latest Thunderstore versions and flags which ones have updates available (read-only, doesn't auto-update anything)

Installation

1. Install Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman
2. Search for Enhanced HowToFish and install

Changelog

1.0.8

• Fixed several issues with StackableItems (e.g. incompatibility with KeepInventory, stacks overwriting each other, and ghost items)
• Updated all the available mods
• Added emojis to the README.md

Note: the next modpack update will come out in around 8/9 days (i'm in vacation)

1.0.7

• Added Inspect Fix
• Added BetterSwimming
• Added ChumBucket
• Inspect panel now updates correctly when you throw, sell, or switch items instead of showing stale info
• You can now hold jump to swim up and crouch to dive, with wave-accurate buoyancy instead of mashing jump to stay afloat
• Added a portable, shareable bucket to dump your catch in and sell it all at once instead of feeding fish to an NPC one by one
• Fixed several issues with More Colours (themes and colours not saving, etc.)
• Fixed various mod incompatibilities (e.g. HTFSlide and BetterSwimming combining to let you bhop on water, which shouldn't be possible)

1.0.6

• Added HideVersion
• Added More Colours
• Removed WashCookedItems (now part of the main game)
• Removed StickyItems (part of the main game)
• You can now recolor almost every part of the HUD (palette, score, combat, vitals, boss bars, chat, and more) with built-in themes or custom presets
• Took down the Nexus Mods pack. Several dependencies aren't available on Nexus, so they had to be bundled manually as raw DLLs instead of resolved through a proper dependency system like Thunderstore's. That made the pack harder to maintain, so it's been pulled down
• Game Version: 1.0.10

1.0.5

• Re-added StickyItems (now it correctly works)

1.0.2
