The Fishing Net: A New Way to Harvest the Ocean

I propose adding a Fishing Net. While the Fishing Rod is great for patient, single-catch fishing, the Net is a tool for active players who want to catch multiple fish at once or defend themselves from aquatic threats.

Crafting:

Crafted in a 3 \times 3 grid using String in a "cross" pattern with Silver Ingots (or Iron) in the corners to act as weights.

How it works:

Mass Fishing: When you throw the net into water, it expands into a 3 \times 3 area. After a few seconds, it "closes," and you pull it back to receive 2–5 fish at once (Cod, Salmon, or Tropical Fish).

Mob Trapping: If thrown at a mob (like a Caiman/Crocodile or a Drowned), it entangles them. The mob cannot move or attack for 5 seconds, giving the player time to escape or counter-attack.

Item Retrieval: You can use the net to quickly scoop up floating items in the water—perfect for when you die at sea and need to grab your gear fast.

Durability:

The net has durability and can be damaged by sharp objects (like a Guardian's spikes). It can be enchanted with Unbreaking or a new enchantment "Wide Mesh" to catch even more fish.
