Recast (Fabric) for Minecraft

Review Recast (Fabric)

Small Fishing Improvements

Fishing in Minecraft is an important mechanic in any survival game, as it provides not only food for your character but also additional resources and items. The process itself is enjoyable but time-consuming. Players need to cast their rod, wait for the bobber to sink, reel in the catch, and repeat the process. If you don’t want to spend extra time casting your rod, you can speed up and simplify the procedure using third-party mods that offer specialized functionality for this.

The Recast mod adds the ability to automatically recast your fishing rod without player intervention. Every time the player reels in a hook, it is automatically cast back into the water. This reduces the time spent on repetitive actions, making fishing easier, while the process itself remains largely the same and doesn’t affect vanilla survival gameplay. It’s a great way to optimize the mechanic slightly and focus on other activities in real life without being distracted by the rod every few seconds. If you’re interested in trying this mod, we recommend checking out our guide!

Typically, players have to repeatedly cast, reel in, and wait for a bite. This method is fun but not very efficient, and mainly suitable at the very beginning when resources are scarce. Recast simplifies fishing by automatically casting the rod back after you reel in your catch. It’s a simple but useful feature for any Minecraft player, whether playing on a server or in single-player on a generated map.

This new system saves a lot of time, although there are other fishing mods available for Minecraft, which we’ve also reviewed. Here’s a short list for you:

· AFKFish – automates the entire fishing process. Cast the rod into the water, and your character automatically reels in the catch and recasts the rod. You can leave your character AFK overnight to collect large amounts of valuable items;

· Aquaculture – a large mod that adds many new types of fish, fishing rods, hooks, and more. Fishing becomes a dedicated mechanic in the game, offering hours of exploration with new content;

· Auto Fishing Deluxe – automatic fishing without player intervention. Offers extensive settings to customize the process according to your play style.

These mods simplify the fishing process and save your time. While fishing is an interesting mechanic, it is rarely used extensively except when players need fish for feeding and taming ocelots or for achievements. Fish are not commonly consumed as food, though some creatures, like axolotls, are very popular and collectors often aim to gather all types on servers or in single-player. Now you can automate the process efficiently.

During fishing, players can obtain enchanted books, various types of food, fish, resources like leather or string, plants, and more. Rare items, such as Nautilus shells, may occasionally appear, depending on luck. Leaving your character AFK overnight can fill your inventory with items, but be sure to keep your HP full to avoid dying in AFK mode. Despite its simple functionality, Recast is actively supported and compatible with most loaders (Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, Quilt), with over 400,000 downloads at the time of writing, and the latest version available.

In conclusion, this mod is useful for players who frequently fish and want to streamline the process or simply save time during a gaming session to achieve goals, tame animals, or collect food. We also provided recommendations for other mods that can diversify the fishing experience. If you enjoy fishing in Minecraft, installing these mods will help you fully immerse yourself in this mechanic. Feel free to share in the comments which fishing mods you like that add new features.
