Autofish

Autofish is a fishing mod for various versions with Liteloader, Rift and Fabric. There is also an unofficial Forge version.

For other older builds or other Liteloader mods check the Liteloader Archive here



Forge version

The mod adds a GUI and tweaks to fishing such as multi-rod, autofish, break protection, persistent mode and more. Good for Away From Keyboard (AFK) fishing moments.

Autofish Description:

For 1.14 and later, use the Fabric Mod Loader (you must also install the Fabric API in your mods folder), or alternatively use Forge. Not all versions have a Forge equivalent. See files for version support. Forge versions will require Cloth Config to be installed.

For 1.13.2, use the Rift Mod Loader.

For 1.12.2 and earlier, use LiteLoader.

Description This mod will automatically reel in and recast your fishing rod when you catch a fish. Just cast the fishing rod one time into the water and let the mod do the rest.

Usage

• Very simple to use, just cast the fishing rod into the water once, and it will automatically reel in at the correct time and recast after a couple second wait.

Config

• Configurable key (V by default) to open a GUI for changing individual settings.

• Enable Autofish - Toggles the entire mod on or off.

• Enable MultiRod - After using up a rod, it will try to auto switch to the next one in your hotbar if it exists, so you can fish for extended periods of time with multiple rods. (Switches to the first rod in your hotbar after each reel)

• Enable Break Protection - Ignores fishing rods once they are almost broken. This is useful if you have an enchanted fishing rod and you don't want it to break.

• Enable Persistent Mode - Always keeps the rod casted out. Checks every 10 seconds and recasts the rod if needed. This is useful if you have server lag issues and will also recast when a server plugin clears the hook entity.

• Use Sound-Based Detection - Uses sounds to detect catches instead of motion. This only affects multiplayer, singleplayer uses its own detection. Note that you must be somewhat close to the hook for this to work, and if other players' hooks are near yours it can falsely trigger a catch.

• Recast Delay - Adjusts the amount of the the mod will wait between reeling in the rod and recasting.

• Clearlag Chat Pattern - Some servers use plugins that clear entities to reduce lag, including fish hooks, and send a chat message when doing so. As a workaround, When this regular expression pattern is matched in chat, the mod will cast the hook back out.

Autofish For Forge Description

AutoFish for Forge

This mod is probably the most accurate among all automatic fishing mods for Minecraft Forge.

It is fully client-sided and works on vanilla servers (and should also work on other servers, but I didn't test it.)

If you want a Fabric version, check this out (note that it is not made by me and this mod is created by me completed from scratch)

Usage

1. Go to control and set the keybind

2. Use the keybinds to toggle on/off the mod and its features

3. Open the GUI to set the recast/reel in delay* (in ticks) and item filter**

4. Throw your bobber into the water and it will do its thing.


 * Optional and only works with version 1.1.0+


 * Does not work in multiplayer

About public servers, it is not recommended to use this as the mod provides unfair advantages. Use this at your own risk. If you get banned, it is NOT my fault.

You should only use this in singleplayer or private servers.

The Reason Behind

Because of the 1.16 update. Mojang nerfed AFK fish farms by removing the chance of getting treasures in old designs.

There were some new designs, but they are not as good as the old ones.

To solve this problem, I made this mod.

With this mod, you will be able to AFK fish in 1.16, while still getting the treasures.

The Mechanic Behind

It is a very simple solution.

As everyone knows, casting your fishing rod will spawn a bobber. This mod tracks the motion of the bobber.

When the vertical motion of the bobber is low enough, we know it catches a fish, so we retract it and BAM! You got your reward.

Future Plan

A GUI for whatever reason. (Potentially item filtering and a better way to configure the mod) Porting the GUI to older versions.

Will be ported to older version (I don't know if I will do it since I have already brought it down to 1.8.9)

An alternate of this mod, which add enchantments for fishing rod and this will be one of them.

Known Issues

Reels in fake line.
