About this Mod

AFK Fishing

AFK Fishing is a lightweight, client-side Fabric mod that fully automates AFK fishing in Minecraft. Cast once and let the mod handle the rest β€” no interaction needed. Since it runs entirely on the client, it works seamlessly on multiplayer servers without any server-side installation.


Features

  • Reliable Bite Detection β€” Uses game state variables (DATA_BITING) instead of audio cues, ensuring instant and accurate detection every time β€” even with the game muted.
  • Automatic Recasting β€” Reels in and recasts automatically after each catch with a natural delay (15 ticks / ~750ms).
  • Clean HUD Overlay β€” Displays a minimal status indicator showing whether AFK Fishing is ENABLED or DISABLED. Only visible while holding a fishing rod, so it never clutters your screen.
  • One-Key Toggle β€” Enable or disable the mod instantly with a fully customizable hotkey (default: O).
  • Command Support β€” Full slash command and dot-command support for flexibility in any server environment.

How to Use

  1. Hold a Fishing Rod β€” the HUD indicator will appear near the top-left of your screen.
  2. Press O to toggle AFK Fishing on or off, or use /autofisher on Β· /autofisher off in chat.
  3. Cast your rod once β€” the mod handles everything from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does AFK Fishing need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks AFK Fishing as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does AFK Fishing require?

Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

AFK Fishing is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
