XPlus Autofish (Fabric / Forge / NeoForge)
by Wudji
With XPlus Autofish, the fishing rod is reeled in and recast automatically once a fish bites, so a player can keep fishing without clicking.
What it does
When a fish bites, the mod reels the rod in and casts it again after a set recast delay, which can be adjusted and can include a random delay. Persistent Mode keeps the rod cast out at all times and recasts it every 10 seconds when needed, which helps where server lag or plugin-related hook clearing interrupts fishing. Catches can be detected from motion or from sounds, and sound detection is the choice for multiplayer.
The mod is client-side only, so it is installed by the player and servers do not need it. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Required dependencies are Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Forge Config API Port, and the Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt loaders are supported, with files for 1.18.2 – 26.3 and the latest build for 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge in the beta channel. AutoFish for FishingOverhaul requires this mod.
Key features
Toggle the whole mod
A single switch turns the automatic fishing behavior on or off without removing the mod.
MultiRod switching
After a rod breaks or is used up, the next fishing rod in the hotbar is selected, so fishing can continue for long periods.
Break protection
Rods that are close to breaking can be ignored, which keeps enchanted rods in the inventory.
Clearlag chat pattern
A configured chat message pattern, sent by servers that clear entities, triggers the hook to be recast.
Random recast delay
A random delay can be added between reeling in and recasting, so the timing is not fixed.
