fishology
by c0nstexpr
With fishology installed, a player's rod casts and reels in on its own, so the player can leave the line in the water while doing other things.
What it does
fishology adds automatic fishing to Minecraft Java Edition. Once a rod is set up, the mod keeps casting, waiting for a bite and reeling in, and it retries when a cast fails. Recasting can be tuned so that loot falls at a suitable height and the player is not left waiting on the water.
Notifications report each catch in chat, and their level and message format can be configured. A list of loot items decides which catches are kept, so the rest of the haul can be ignored. The mod focuses on auto-fishing and does not add new fish, rods or biomes.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. It runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it, and it is published for Fabric only, in release versions 1.20, 1.21 and 1.21.1. The latest file, 2.3.0, was published on 2024-07-05 for 1.21.1.
Key features
Automatic fishing
The rod keeps fishing without input, waiting for each bite and reeling in the catch.
Retry after failure
A failed cast is tried again automatically, so one missed attempt does not stop the session.
Tunable recasting
The force recast time and the height at which loot drops can be adjusted to suit the fishing spot.
Catch notifications
Each caught fish is announced, with the notification level and message format chosen in the settings.
Loot item filter
A configurable list of loot items controls which catches the mod keeps.

Use cases
Long fishing sessions
A player who wants a steady catch can leave the rod running while attending to other tasks nearby.
Filtering a haul
A player who only wants certain items can list them so the mod keeps those and leaves the rest.
Who it’s for: Players who want the rod to keep fishing on its own, and players who prefer notifications and filters over casting by hand. The mod does not add new content, so it suits players who already enjoy fishing in vanilla.
