📖 Description

Turn your fist into a "rubber fist"!

This mod greatly extends the melee attack range of players in "How to Fish", and your arms will actually stretch and lengthen as you punch - the visual effect and attack range will be expanded simultaneously.

Now you can stand at a safe distance and easily beat up seagulls, crabs, and even bosses, and experience the fun of "beating a cow across a mountain".

✨ Features

  • Extra long punching range: Melee attack range is significantly increased, allowing you to hit targets from farther away.
  • Visual arm stretching: When punching, the character's arm will actually lengthen with the attack distance, and the animation will be naturally connected.
  • No configuration, out-of-the-box: it takes effect automatically after installation without any additional settings.
  • Compatible with single player/multiplayer: In online mode, other players can also see your stretched arms (host installation required).

📦 Installation method

  • Make sure BepInEx (version for How to Fish) is installed.
  • Place MeleeRange.dll into your game's BepInEx/plugins folder.
  • Start the game and the module will be loaded automatically.

💡 If there is no plugins folder, please run the game once and BepInEx will automatically generate it.

🎮 Instructions for use

  • No keystrokes required: After the mod is installed, all melee attacks (default left mouse button) will automatically have longer range and stretch animations.
  • Effect tip: When punching, you can obviously see the arm lengthening, and the attack hit feedback is consistent with the original version.
  • No side effects: Does not affect other attack methods (such as fishing, throwing, etc.).

⚠️ Notes

  • This mod only modifies the melee attack range and arm animation, but does not change the damage value or attack speed.
  • If used with other modules that modify the attack range, it may produce overwriting or superimposing effects. It is recommended to keep only one.
  • If you are playing as a client in a multiplayer game, you need to make sure that the host computer also has this module installed, otherwise the visual stretching may be out of sync.

🛠️Compatibility

  • Game version: v1.0.9 and above (theoretically compatible with all Unity 6 versions).
  • Compatible with most mods that do not modify melee attack logic.
  • Known to have no conflicts with mods such as Throw Boost and TNT Chaos.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
