1. Identity & Item Link

The primary purpose of this file is to link a Hytale item to the mod’s bait logic.

• ItemId: The actual Hytale ID of the item (e.g., Tool_Trap_Bait) that will be consumed from the player’s inventory when fishing.
• id: The unique internal asset ID used by the mod’s registry.

2. Fishing Modifiers

The Modifiers section defines how the bait influences the loot pool when equipped.

• TargetId: The internal ItemId of the fish or loot item you want this bait to affect (e.g., Fish_Frostgill_Item).
• ChanceMultiplier: A float value that multiplies the base Weight of the target item.
  • 1.0: No change to the base weight.
  • 2.0: Doubles the likelihood of catching the target.
  • 0.5: Halves the likelihood of catching the target.
