XPlus Autofish (Fabric / Forge / NeoForge)
XPlus Autofish represents an enhanced version of the popular automatic fishing mod, serving as the successor to MrTroot's development. This updated variant includes fixes for previously identified bugs and numerous new useful features.
How Automatic Fishing Works
You only need to cast the fishing rod into the water once - the mod will automatically hook the fish at the right moment and recast the tackle after a short pause. A hotkey (default V) provides access to the settings.
Settings and Capabilities
Automatic Fishing - the main function that can be quickly turned on and off as needed.
Rod Switching - the system automatically switches to the next fishing rod in the quick access panel when the current one is used up, allowing for extended fishing sessions without interruptions.
Break Protection - the mod ignores rods with low durability, preserving your enchanted tackle from breaking.
Persistent Mode - the rod remains cast constantly, with automatic recasting every 10 seconds if necessary. Especially useful on servers with lag or when using plugins that clear hooks.
Sound-Based Detection - in multiplayer mode, uses sounds instead of movement to detect bites. Note that proximity to other players and their hooks may affect accuracy.
Recast Delay - adjustable time interval between hooking and the next cast.
Open Water Detection - automatically detects whether you're in an open water area, which is necessary for obtaining valuable treasures.
Random Delay - adds random pauses between actions for greater realism.
Chat Pattern for Clearing - some servers clear entities, including fishing hooks, to reduce lag and send a chat message. When the specified pattern is detected, the mod automatically recasts the hook.
Troubleshooting
If automatic fishing doesn't work with rods from other mods (such as Aquaculture 2), try enabling the "Use Sound Detection" and "Force Multiplayer Detection (Mod Compatibility)" options in XPlus Autofish settings.
Installation
For the Fabric version, Fabric API and Cloth Config API are required. For Forge and NeoForged versions, only Cloth Config API is needed.
