: Modern bots are often built to be compatible across multiple game versions (e.g., Minecraft 1.8 through 1.20+) and work in both offline and online modes.
: The bot detects when a bobber splashes or moves, automatically reeling in and re-casting the line.
: Many bots include hooks to announce loot, levels, or status updates directly to a Discord server for remote monitoring.
According to documentation for popular versions like MrKinau's FishingBot and julianperrott's FishingFun :
: To avoid detection, some bots include "Auto-Disconnect" features to reduce server load or mimic human-like timing variations.
: Projects often offer both a GUI for ease of use and a Console/Command-Line interface for running on headless servers or via scripts. Technical Implementation
: Advanced versions can automatically empty the bot's inventory or discard "trash" items to keep the fishing loop running indefinitely.
: More complex bots (common in WoW versions) may read game memory to determine exactly when a fish has bitten.
