AutoFish Forge Mod is a Minecraft mod that provides the option to automatically reel in and re-cast the fishing rod when a nibble is detected. Primary ptions include MultiRod, which automatically switches to the next available fishing rod in the hotbar when the current rod breaks; and Break Protection, which will stop using a rod before it breaks. Additional options are available.
AutoFish bite detection is 100% accurate in Single Player games, where the mod has access to the world server's state. In MultiPlayer games, the mod must rely on the same hints given to players: bobbing of the fish hook, water wake approaching the fish hook, the splash sounds, etc. Therefore, in MultiPlayer, bite detection is less accurate (around 85%). See the "Aggressive Bite Detection" option.
This mod was originally a blatant copy of the functionality provided by the LiteMod Autofish mod by troyboy50. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by troyboy50.
AutoFish Forge Mod versions 1.x-y.z require Minecraft 1.x with compatible version of MinecraftForge installed.
Copy the mod_autofish_forge-1.x-y.z.jar file to the mods directory in your Minecraft
data directory.
By default, AutoFish is enabled, but all other options are disabled. To change these options, Click the [Mods] button from the opening Minecraft screen, locate the AutoFish Forge Mod in the mods list, and click the [Configure] button.
The AutoFish Forge Mod options can also be reached in-game using the configured hotkey.
Note that the hotkey will only function if the item currently in use by the player is a fishing rod.
By default, the hotkey is the letter o, but this binding can be changed or disabled in the
standard Minecraft Controls screen.
Automatically reel in and re-cast when a fish nibbles the hook. If set to false, all other AutoFish functionality is disabled.
Automatically switch to a new fishing rod when the current rod breaks, if one is available in the hotbar.
Stop fishing or switch to a new rod just before the current rod breaks. Useful if you want to repair your enchanted fishing rods.
Time (in seconds) to wait before automatically re-casting. Increase this value if server lag causes re-casting to fail.
When playing on a server, re-cast after the server clears entities. Useful if you are playing on a server that periodically deletes all entities (including fishing hooks) from the world, which causes you to stop fishing.
When playing on a server, be more aggressive about detecting fish bites. Improves multiplayer bite detection from ~85% to ~95%, but false positives will be more likely, especially if other players are fishing very close by.
[HAS SIDE EFFECTS] Re-cast when problems detected (e.g. if not in water or if a MOB has been hooked). If enabled, non-fishing use of the fishing rod (e.g. intentionally hooking MOBs) will be affected.
[SINGLE PLAYER ONLY] Fish will bite right after casting.
