How does this affect the game?
You just killed a ghost and now a ghostfish is bouncing around... just right in your face... Ever wanted to be able to grab those flopping fish faster than the 2.5 seconds the game makes you wait? With a little bit of practice, now you can!
As you pick up fish that were flopping around on the ground, you will slowly become faster at grabbing them. Each new fish will give you a better chance of grabbing it a little bit faster. Grab more fish and you'll soon gain a new power, Adept Fish Catcher, that lets you grab them as fast as you pick up any other items that drop on the ground.
Better Flopping Fish also makes the way fish flop a little more interesting. Adjust their movement or sound frequency in the config.json (the file will be created in the mod folder when you open the game with the mod) or in game with Generic Mod Config Menu.
Better Flopping Fish fixes a bug in Stardew Valley 1.6.15 that can cause flopping fish to start to vibrate in place under certain circumstances.
Configuration
TimesTillAdept - After collecting this many flopping fish, you will always be able to pick them up quickly. Set to -1 to disable. If you set it to -1 after you have already gotten the "Adept Fish Catcher" power, the power will no longer be listed in your powers menu because you are not benefitting from it (changing it to another number will return the power if you had it before). (range: 0 to 16, or -1 to disable)
FlipOnBounce - Normally the game flips the fish image horizontally at every bounce. Possible values: Always, Randomly, Never
PlayBounceSoundEffect - Normally the game plays a sound effect at every bounce. Possible values: Always, Less, Never
BouncierFish - Normally fish bounce at lower heights with each bounce. Note: if you set this to NonFish so that fish drop like other items, you may want to set the value of TimesTillAdept to 0 so you can collect stationary fish immediately. Possible values: Unmodified, Random, NonFish
FixRapidFishBounce - Fixes a vanilla bug in Stardew Valley 1.6.15 that causes a monster-dropped fish to bounce rapidly in place under certain specific circumstances
