AFK Fishing

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

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 β 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.
