AutoFishing
AutoFishing automates the fishing process once a player holds a fishing rod with auto fishing active, and it runs on the client only.
What it does
Once active, AutoFishing repeats the fishing cycle without manual input, so a player can leave a rod in place and let the catch proceed. The delay between casts is set in the mod's options, and the author recommends a value between 10 and 20.
Two actions stop the automation: swapping the held fishing rod for a different item, and reeling in by hand with the right mouse button. Either one disables auto fishing until it is turned back on. The mod is described as simple and lightweight, and it is published for Fabric only.
Files cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.1.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest build, dated 2026-09-09. The first release was published on 2024-10-04. Only the client needs the mod, so servers can run without it. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
