XPlus Autofish (Fabric / Forge / NeoForge) Mod (26.1.1, 1.20.6)

XPlus Autofish is a utility mod that automatically reels in and recasts the fishing rod when a fish bites for Minecraft Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt Loader.

XPlus Autofish solves a simple but repetitive problem: fishing takes attention, timing, and a lot of clicking, especially when you are doing it for resources or treasure. This mod automates the loop while adding extra controls that make it more practical in real play, and its more than 1.59 million downloads show that a lot of players have found that trade-off worth it.

Key Features of XPlus Autofish

• Automatic reel and recast — The core value here is obvious, but it matters because it removes the need to stare at the bobber and manually time every catch. Once you cast the rod, the mod handles the routine fishing loop for you, which makes long sessions far less tedious.
• Configurable on/off control — The mod can be toggled directly from its config screen, so you are not locked into automation all the time. That is useful when you want to switch between relaxed fishing and normal play without unloading the mod.
• MultiRod support — When one rod wears out, the mod can move to the next fishing rod in your hotbar automatically. That keeps the session going and is especially helpful if you bring multiple rods or want to stretch an enchanted setup as long as possible.
• Break Protection — This feature skips rods that are nearly broken, which is a practical safeguard rather than just a convenience setting. It helps preserve valuable enchanted rods and reduces the chance of losing a good tool because the automation ran too long.
• Persistent Mode — Persistent Mode keeps the rod cast and will recast every 10 seconds if needed. That is useful on laggy servers or in cases where a plugin or server-side cleanup clears your hook, because the mod keeps trying instead of leaving you idle.
• Sound-Based Detection — In multiplayer, the mod can rely on sound cues instead of motion to detect bites. That gives you another detection path when server conditions make the usual method less reliable, although nearby players and hook activity can affect accuracy.
• Open Water Detection and timing controls — The mod can detect open water automatically, which matters if you want treasure loot and do not want to second-guess whether your fishing spot qualifies. It also lets you adjust recast delay and add random delay, which gives the automation a more natural rhythm and helps it fit different server conditions.

How to Install XPlus Autofish

1. Pick the correct loader for your setup: Fabric Mod Loader, Minecraft Forge, NeoForge, or Quilt Loader.
2. Install the matching Minecraft loader first, then make sure your game version matches one of the supported downloads.
3. If you are on Fabric, install Fabric API and either Cloth Config API or Forge Config API Port, depending on the version path listed for your build.
4. If you are on Forge or NeoForge, install Cloth Config API for the supported 1.18.2 to 1.21.11 builds.
5. Launch the game, open the mod config with the default hotkey V, and tune options like detection mode, delay, break protection, and multi-rod behavior before you start fishing.

Requirements & Compatibility

What's New

• The mod has been updated for Minecraft 26.1.
• Fabric builds for this version now require Forge Config API Port instead of Cloth Config.
• The changelog reflects a dependency change rather than a gameplay overhaul.
• This release keeps the project aligned with the latest supported Minecraft branch in the listing.

Pros and Cons

Alternatives to XPlus Autofish

• Autofish is the older option the author points to for 1.19.4 and earlier, so it is the closest historical alternative if you need legacy support.
• Fabric API is not a replacement for the mod itself, but it is a required companion on Fabric and a must-have dependency for the supported builds.
• Cloth Config API is another companion rather than a gameplay substitute, and it matters because the mod's configuration screen depends on it in several loader/version combinations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does XPlus Autofish automatically fish for me?

Yes — once you cast the rod, it can reel in at the right moment and recast after a short wait. That is the main reason to install it if you fish regularly.

Can I use XPlus Autofish with modded fishing rods?

Yes, but compatibility can vary by rod mod. The author recommends enabling sound detection and Force Multiplayer Detection for modded rods such as Aquaculture 2.

Is there an in-game config screen?

Yes — the mod includes a config screen you can open with the default hotkey V. That makes it easy to toggle the mod and adjust behavior without leaving the game.

Does it help protect expensive fishing rods?

Yes — Break Protection can ignore rods that are almost broken. That is useful if you are using enchanted gear and do not want automation to wear it out accidentally.

Will it keep working on multiplayer servers?

Yes, but multiplayer is where the extra options matter most. Sound-Based Detection and Persistent Mode are there to handle lag, hook clearing, and server-specific behavior more reliably.

Can it detect open water for treasure fishing?

Yes — Open Water Detection is included. That matters if you want the mod to help preserve treasure-eligible fishing conditions instead of just catching fish faster.

Can I control the pause between catches?

Yes — the recast delay is configurable, and you can also add random delay. That gives the automation a more natural feel and can help it fit different server environments.
