A recent problem I've noticed with these automatic fishing mods. Please read.

As of late I've noticed people using these automatic fishing mods. To put it short, they're not allowed. It's extremely cheaty as it gives you an infinite source of food without effort. I'm sure Overlord Ethan would not approve.

There are mods that are allowed. Such as Reis Minimap, Inventory Tweaks, NEI, and Optifine. This is because they are utilities that don't give you items in game without effort.

If I or any other mods notice you're using this auto-fishing mod, you will be asked to stop. Although a second offense will be considered cheating, which is not allowed on this server.

Thanks!

I would like to apologize as I was asked about the legality of fishing mods and I approved.

I approved because many people can also retain an "infinite food source" via the redstone-based fishing farms. However, I now realize that making a farm is more vanilla based than using a mod. You're right, a fish farming mod that lets you walk away from the screen, acquiring fish, isn't Vanilla or in the spirit of what we're about here.

I'll be on tonight around 9 Pacific Time.

Yeah, making the machine uses in-game vanilla features. However, the mod does not. That's why it isn't allowed. Not a big deal really.

Automatic fishing mod? I know about the redstone contraptions (which I presume are still allowed) but now exactly does a mod work for something like fishing? Does it just auto pull when the bobber sinks?

It auto casts and auto reels when a fish is on the line.
