🎣 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)
• BetterSwimming — hold jump to swim up and crouch to dive, letting go treads water instead of dropping like a rock, with wave-accurate buoyancy (client-side, fully configurable)
• ChumBucket — a portable bucket you can drop anywhere; throw your catch in and sell it all at once instead of feeding fish to an NPC one at a time (buckets are shared, so anyone running the mod can sell from any dropped bucket)
• AmmoCounter — shows ammo left in your current magazine, weapon name, installed attachments, and an optional StatTrak™ kill count
• HeldItemNameHud — shows the name of whatever you're currently holding above the hotbar, and your current bait above the bait box
• ColorfulPoint — recolors drop dots on the map: weapon drops red, tool drops blue, player death positions green, and bosses orange (everything else stays white)
• More Colours — adds a full HUD recolor screen to the Options menu, covering palette, score, combat, vitals, boss bars, chat, inspect, hotbar, HUD, screen effects, particles/splatter decals, menu, and more, with built-in themes and shareable custom presets
• Inspect Fix — fixes the inspect panel staying stuck on stale item info after throwing, selling, or switching items
• HideVersion — adjusts the transparency of the in-game version text and can replace it with "Modded" for clarity when reporting bugs
• ModUpdateChecker — checks your installed mods against their latest Thunderstore versions and flags which ones have updates available (read-only, doesn't auto-update anything)
