General UI

on higher res settings, UI has a little edge at the top excluded from the outline
i had to ask someone to find out how to equip bait

Discord

Discord RPC
ability to link ur discord to ingame so you can send & receive lobby invites

Radio

Silver radio for short distance tracks using only ingame cherry picked music (perhaps tracks you've only heard before)
Gold radio for importing from URL (cite that one webfishing mod for ideas) <-- should also be able to be disabled by server owner
Walkie Talkie for long distance chat messaging (if a global chats setting is disabled) or vc if thats considered

Fishing & Bait

perhaps fishing in certain conditions yields certain fish (eg. fishing in the ocean during a thunderstorm can yield an electric eel, or a flying fish during a windy day
^^ an option to use your local weather data as the ingame areas
using certain bait to yield certain fish
certain bait spawning in certain conditions (more worms after a rain storm, different beetles on different tree species)

Reel POV & Bar UI

shake camera lightly when clicking through a barrier
shake camera more when barrier is broken
zoom camera slightly while reeling
zoom camera more when barrier is broken
add a vignette when fish is about to snap
shake the reel bar when clicking through a barrier
add particles for when barrier is broken
shake the bar lightly when the fish is being reeled in
add sfx for the reel bar when barrier broken
change reel sfx pitch by -/+10% (or whatever's better) for more variation
make the players rod pull more based on strength of fish
make the rod pull further and further back based on % of reel bar filled
make the bobber on the rod fly out and further instead of just floating towards the water
make the rod maybe not poke my eye out (just an idea)

In world

wandering merchant / trader that sells a rotating list of exclusive items / limited baits
stomping / shovelling eroded soil spots can yield 3-5 baits
foliage
shrubbery
naturally rotating textures to give more of the randomized feel
slight dips/heights in the terrain to give better feel for the land
wind gusts in the air
falling leaf particles
waterfalls
caves (perhaps cave biomes?)
using a boat to get to "hot spots" where the water ripples and rarer fish
terraria chum bucket to increase fish rates

Ambience

wind ambience

Movement

Sliding (for use with maybe a slide item or a steep hill)

Building & Placing

finer grain grid placement options (perhaps a slider with 0.05 increment from 5-0 (0 = free place))
a visual grid that gets more / less opaque based on object / cursor position
