# Fishing Spot

## Fishing Spot

Fishing Spots allow the creation of **temporary hotspots** in the world. These hotspots provide **modifiers** within a defined area and can affect gameplay mechanics such as drop tables or other player modifiers.

All configurations are located in:

```
plugins/LiteFish/spots
```

Active hotspots are saved across world reloads. All data about currently active hotspots is stored in:

```
plugins/LiteFish/data/spots
```

***

### Functionality

Fishing Spots can:

* Modify a **drop table** in the specified category.
* Apply **modifiers** to players within the hotspot area.
