Custom rods

Three tiers ship in the box: basic, advanced, legendary. Each is a plain fishing rod with two PersistentDataContainer keys:

• mythicrod:custom_rod (byte, value 1): marks the item as a MythicRod rod.
• mythicrod:rod_tier (string): tier name.

Advanced and legendary rods are crafted with the enchant glint flag set. The legendary tier is also unbreakable so it can sit on a reward shelf without needing repair.

Survival players can't fabricate these markers. Admins hand them out with /mythicrod give <player> <tier>.

Tier table

Tier	Permission	Rare-luck multiplier
basic	(none)	default 1.00x, configurable
advanced	mythicrod.rod.advanced	default 1.25x, configurable
legendary	mythicrod.rod.legendary	default 1.50x, configurable

Multipliers only apply to drops with weight <= 5 (rare and legendary tiers). Common and uncommon catches stay unaffected.

Inspecting a rod

/mythicrod rod inspect reads both hands and reports:

• Vanilla rod vs MythicRod marker.
• Tier stored in PDC.
• Rare-luck multiplier for that tier.

Handing rods out

/mythicrod give <player> basic
/mythicrod give <player> advanced
/mythicrod give <player> legendary

On Folia, the actual Inventory#addItem runs on the target's owner scheduler. If the target's inventory is full, the sender gets a clean "inventory full" reply and no rod gets dropped on the ground.

What "rod select" actually does

Selection sets a per-player default tier, not the item the player is holding. Two cases:

1. The player casts with a plain Minecraft fishing rod (or any rod without MythicRod's PDC tier flag). The plugin reads the player's selected tier, checks they still hold the matching permission, and applies the rare-luck multiplier for that tier when rolling the catch.
2. The player casts with an admin-issued MythicRod rod (one carrying mythicrod:custom_rod and mythicrod:rod_tier in PDC). The held rod's PDC tier wins over the per-player default, provided the player still holds the matching permission. The held rod is the source of truth.

So rod select advanced does not modify the item in the player's hand. It records "if you cast a vanilla rod, treat it as advanced." Lose the permission later and the next cast quietly falls back to basic.

/mythicrod rod select basic
/mythicrod rod select advanced
/mythicrod rod select legendary

The selection is stored on the player's PersistentDataContainer through PlayerDataService. Selecting a tier the player lacks the permission for is rejected with command.rod.locked. The GUI rod menu writes through the same code path.

When the held rod overrides the selection

Held item PDC	Player has permission for held tier?	Effective tier
MythicRod tier legendary	yes	legendary
MythicRod tier legendary	no	falls back to per-player default
Vanilla rod, no MythicRod PDC	n/a	per-player default
Per-player default unset	n/a	basic

Inspecting

/mythicrod rod inspect reads both hands and reports vanilla vs MythicRod marker, the tier stored in PDC, and the rare-luck multiplier for that tier. Use it when something feels off about a player's catches.
