Edit: I've received some feedback that I've been too harsh on Mojang, and honestly, I agree. I’ve cut a portion of my final thoughts towards the end of the video. Unfortunately, the cut is quite noticeable at 13:14, and I apologize for that. How would you make fishing fun so that people won't resort to AFK Fish Farms? Let me know your ideas!

[@The_Grin_Reaper_]

It wouldn't work in Minecraft but what if you made it so after you reel in the fish you have to fight it to actually catch it, then it's non afkable Alternatively if you just don't make it anything special, if you want the loot obtained by fishing, you have to tediously work for it In both cases you make it so the loot is worth working for but not just op

[@joel784]

Maybe make it so that when a fish is caught the rod, the rod will first shake a bit then when the hook sinks in the player needs to right click to catch the fish, the time the hook sinks would be random. (I suck at explaining, lol)

[@NethanielShade]

The craziest part is - why AFK fishing? There are mob grinders that can produce 6 million + items per hour (EOL), but even ignoring feats of engineering like that, the average person can build a box in the dark and a drop chute to a hopper and have an afk mob grinder that *doesn't even require the player to be standing in place* like the afk fish farm does, and it'll produce way more items than an afk fish farm. Sure, it doesn't give you mending books, but fishing is literally the least ef-fish-ient way to get mending books, as villager trading is incredibly easy and rerolling trades just requires breaking a block. Cure your villager a couple of times and trades basically become free, but even without that, a stack of sticks can buy you anything in the game basically. AFK fishing isn't OP, it never was and it likely never will be. It isn't the only form of afk automation in the game, by a *long shot,* and yet it's the one that's always instantly targeted. Even before this video, it always baffled me. I've been playing Minecraft since before fishing was even added, so I've seen the entire history of afk fish farms being created and patched first hand, and it always struck me as an incredibly odd thing for Mojang to be so worried about.

[@kentuckyfriedsocks4384]

funny mending

[@eltiolavara9]

as someone who barely plays the game: mob farms take a long time to build and are easy to mess up (i only built one ever in survival, and i thought i built it right but almost nothing was spawning), rerolling villager trading i did do but its very easy to fuck yourself over and curing villagers i really don't know how is a thing players just do commonly. its so insane to me, like its so hard to do, you have to lure the villager to get hit by a zombie or something without dying and have those random 2 hard to get items? it doesnt even make sense, you can get so many emeralds just by trading sticks (which is broken asf by the way)

[@NethanielShade]

@@eltiolavara9 golden apples are craftable and basically free once you have a gold farm set up, and splash potions of weakness are super easy to make. Just a spider eye, a mushroom, a piece of sugar, and a gunpowder. All of which are farmable and easy to get thousands of. You can even hit a bunch of zillagers with a single potion if you’re too lazy to make a bunch, but at the point you’d be building a trading hall, gapples and potions are basically so free they’re not a noticeable drain on your resources in any way. As for the zombie part of the problem, there’s a ton of solutions to that that aren’t a free-range zombie that might attack you (though by the time you’re making a trading hall, you’re probably in full enchanted netherite and a single zombie couldn’t kill you accidentally, it’d just be annoying) zombies can hit villagers from Minecarts, or you can make a lowered platform behind the villager’s trading row and push it up with pistons to bring the zombie into range, ect. I’ve seen dozens of automatic conversion designs. Making a trading hall is a lot of manual micromanagement and takes a lot of infrastructure and prior farms being built, it’s an endgame thing for sure, but maybe it’s because I play on a lot of technical servers, but I’ve known more players who have built them than haven’t.

[@sleepydafastboi]

@@NethanielShade man you are talking to a casual player 😵 Casual players are most likely to build a house and farm everything manually, the old afk fish farm was a easy asf desing and can be setuped in 5 minutes, the gold farm, mob farm and trading hall are long term farm, while the fishing farm can be used at the early game

[@nemesissombria]

​@sleepydafastboi conterpoint: casual players don't even look into breaking the bedrock barrier in the nether, let alone making gold farms. Secondly: casual players will not be spending hours rerolling librarians in the chance of getting mending books. The amount of people who do that is very low. There are people who have never even touched netherite since it was added in the game

[@HankRichard]

I just think its funny that they haven't thought of making the bobber not move physically.

[@VladSyrota]

Now you're thinking like a good developer! The idea is so easy that it almost makes me think Mojang don't want to get rid of fishing farms completely.

[@xGOKOPx]

I assume they want to patch out AFK fishing without affecting how "normal" fishing looks and feels

[@MoroccoKindaCringe]

@@xGOKOPx I think he meant to make so the movement is only visual, aka not affect the bobber's hitbox

[@SamLabbato]

I guess that still wouldn't patch the newest farm though, since it relying on a sound cue

[@JessicaMorgani]

@@MoroccoKindaCringe you're too smart. But also, Minecraft was coded as" one big thing by one man" that means that now anyone that came later and tries to change anything it takes a lot of effort and creates other bugs. It may just be more complicated than what we imagine... Or! Mojang has the classic company problem where any change has to go through the hands of your higher ups and then back down again.

[@Sidharth_V_Jain]

The Wild Update would have been the perfect time to overhaul fishing, but they had to go with the Mild Update instead - while it's understandable why AFK fishing is considered an exploit by Mojang, it's annoying how they keep banning them, almost as if they have their eye on fishing but don't update the mechanic anyway.

It seems the recent way updates have been going, Mojang has the ideology of "You will play the way WE want you to play" Killing afk farms makes redstone players unhappy.

I think they could add an upgrade to the fishing rod that lets you fish in lava, and fishing in the nether could have a chance of giving you a smithing template(the netherite upgrade one).

[@littleharry7977]

I agree

[@willowshake023]

I don't see the issue, personally. The game is still boundless and doesn't really force you to do anything. There is no progression, questline, plotline or anything, you can do whatever and you should do whatever. And the "you will play the way WE want you to play" doesn't really add up with the fact that as of recent we got 2 updates that cater to completely different player types: builders (or more peaceful guys) with Trails and Tails and fighters with Tricky Trials. Maybe I didn't get it, but I just don't see it Not sure about afk farms since I'm no redstoner, but from what I remember the only auto-farm that got killed as of recent is the raid farm. It kinda made getting raids much less frustrating because now you aren't gonna accidentally summon them, unless you're an absolute butterfinger dumbass like my friend Smithing templates aren't crucial to the game. Noone forces you to get them or anything. And besides, they aren't THAT hard to come by, at the very least in singleplayer (except for the jungle trims, they are stupidly rare because of the rarity of the temples). The only problem is duplicating them, which is when diamonds come in handy. ALSO, one of the trims isn't a chest loot. The tides(?) trim drops from an elder guardian. Yeah, smithing templates only spawn in certain chests, sure (also trial chambers, I may be just a lucky person, but every time I looted one I got at least a single trim from the vault) You aren't forced to use froglights in no way or shape. They are simply differently colored light blocks. If you want several of them - make some sort of a mechanism to auto-produce this (WHAT IS UP REDSTONERS) or just brute force it with getting a frog into the nether and slaying magma cubes The game does not force you to get any of those items and play the way Mojang wants you to play. Literally, the only thing they "force" you to do is to break a block of wood, make planks and make a crafting table. That's it. Everything else is completely in your control. Do whatever however and whenever

13:30 There is zero financial incentive for Mojang to actually patch their game. So long as modders keep fixing their messy game, they'll never work to fix it.

[@blacklusternolegs]

"Fishing still Sucks" Yeah So does enchanting. When a mechanic sucks players try their best to cheese it or outright circumvent it. It happened with Enchanting with Villagers. And it happened with Fishing with AFK Villagers. Both times they decided to keep nerfing the alternatives or just outright removing them. I don't know what Mojang actually intends with these nerfs/changes considering there has been no information on any sort of overhaul to these mechanics, as well as the fact that neither of these realistically affect anyone for the negative. Like making Villager trading halls in survival or on multiplayer isn't going to kill a community. AFK fish farming maybe could cause lag but the initial designs use so little and the rewards for fishing are so minute (relative to something like villager's) that I don't think it would have mattered. Maybe they think that these 2 take the fun out of the game, but this is ultimately a sandbox. The point is you have the freedom to do whatever you want and some people just use these methods to dodge a tedious and flawed mechanic. Maybe one day in the distant future we will have an overhaul of these mechanics and see their grand vision. I just hope we wont be disappointed by what they decide to do...... Version 1.50 - Removed the Ability for Villagers to Trade and you have to play a tedious minigame for everytime you want to toss out your fishing line. (Just kidding, albeit I hope I'm not jinxing us)

I guess that while trading you don't get super OP items out of thin air. You actually need to make an effort to max out your villagers and get emeralds by selling the resources you gather. In Trade Rebalance it also adds some difficulty to getting enchanted books while also getting rid of the annoying rng around replacing lecterns

[@NA-xb6xu]

@@willowshake023 "resources you gather"? You mean "resources you get in excess from farms"? Like, even the simplest full auto farm (pumpkins/melons) can give you obscene amount of emeralds even if you don't zombify your farmers (in fact, you'll have to trash your excess produce if you do). Or you could skip the middleman and just raid farm the emeralds (I guess that one is getting nerfed by having to drink pillager booze before they aggro on you)

The Criteria is probably Effort required : Yield ratio AFK fish farms are completely safe to setup, messups dont get you killed or undo all your efforts. It was also extremely easy to build before the 1.20/21 versions that require a sculk sensor. The problem with afk fish farms is that just by getting like 10 iron (that you can get on exposed places not even needing to go into a cave for) you could get rare items like enchanted books, saddles and nametags. Compare that to a raid farm (which they still nerfed) where you have to make a 120 block long signal tower, transport 5 villagers to specific spots, setup a shifting floor activated by a player clock, or a much simpler Iron farm that still requires u to trap a zombie, trap 3 villagers and make an efficient spawning and killing area for Golems. Mojang hasnt been against AFK farms, but they do seem to be against farms that have an extremely high Effort : Yield ratio, fish farms being one of the least effort farms possible.

[@TheyCallMeIce]

I remember the AFK fishers of old. I remember playing on survival servers where people discussed never logging off, because when they slept, they left their computers at one. I think the problem is that AFK fish farms are absolutely overpowered - they allow you to get potentially end game enchantments within your first... what, 15 minutes into a new world, if you're not super unlucky? You can get iron for the trap doors within minutes, and string either soon after, when it's night, or right before. Redstone isn't that hard to find, either, if you don't mind digging it up, or killing a witch for it. My point is that AFK fishers, themselves, aren't the problem, it's the loot they can give you. Mending being an enchantment you can get so easily devalues it, in my opinion. Hell, it devalues almost all enchantments, but Mending, especially, since it's a "treasure" enchantment. I like it's status as one. The fact that you can't get it from an enchantment table is good, means you have to hunt it down, and if you had a limited supply of Mending books in your world (i.e. if they spawned only in, say, strongholds, end cities, ancient cities - end-game structures), it would be perfectly balanced, as it removes the need to gather the materials for, and then forge new tools and weapons. Once you put Mending on one set, barring a cactus or explosion, you will not need another (which is why villagers being able to sell it is another problem). But it's rude to point out a problem without offering a solution. Mine would be something like what they've done with bamboo - change the loot table based on circumstance. Of course, remove AT LEAST treasure enchantments from the loot table, but other than that, I think having the biome you're in, height, hell, even the gear you're wearing, be able to change what you catch, would at least make it more interesting. I also think treasure catches should be locked behind an enchantment - kind of Luck of the Sea. Maybe instead of increasing your chances for treasure, each level unlocks new tiers (or shift the loot table a bit up - like with no LotS you can get just trash, fish, and MAYBE tier 1 "lucky finds", with one level, you could get fish, and tiers 1-2, and so on, though this may be overpowered, in its own right). That way, players could adjust based on their needs. Want food? Leather armor, and oceans. Gear? Fish near villages, or waters above ancient cities. I mean, if you fish and you notice an irregular amount of a certain type of item, it may also alert you to some structure hiding nearby. Also also, something I remembered after writing this is mods. There are literal mods that will AFK fish for you. If people cannot build a farm to fish for them, they won't give up, they'll just look on CurseForge. With many people looking to download a mod that will run while they're away... you do the math.

Yapper alert! What's kinds funny to me is how some comments just call the fishing mechanic in Minecraft boring... I mean, isn't IRL fishing also as boring if not even more inef-fish-ient? (you waste time just waiting to find out if there's any fish at all for example) Don't get me wrong, what was suggested from the example of Stardew Valley does sound cool but it also sounds tedious? (ig, idk a good word for this). RN ill just list some plan point I thought of as if I was making a whole Fishing update (I'm not even a dev, I'm just a yapper): I'd need to add more fish besides Salmon and Cod for variety, implement different loot tables for different biomes (which increases the amount of different fish I'll need), i'd need to firstly make up and then implement new Fishing rods, maybe even make more enchantment for them, and different bait too. Maybe I'll even make the Fishing rod recipe harder, let's add the bobber and reel as separate crafting ingredients, and make several different ones too. Wait, no, using the crafting bench for all of that doesn't sound right. Let's make a whole new function block to assemble fishing rods. Make it so you can disassemble your fishing rod too, to replace different broken parts. Add a different feature for displaying different sized fish, idk, maybe like a line of hooks to hang your pesky fish, and don't forget to make the already different sized fish mob corresponde to their length numbers. And for a touch of reality, actually make it so the Fish mobs are fished up instead of imaginary ones. In the end don't forget to ponder on whether the majority of the player base will even like this update, will they put me on the stake, how many of them will leave the game because pf my update, and go into depression (very personal touch at the end, sorry) Now that i think about it, a fishing update does sound a little cool, if not overwhelming (because i don't know how to make balanced updates, I'm not even a programmer). But, imo, AFK fishing farms are cringe. It's not fishing at that point, it's just explotation of magical proportion of Minecraft fishing

[@xaxurro]

Well, Fished E.Books are enchanted with level 30, + it contains mending, it is not hard to think why they wouldn't want players to stay afking 10 hours to get all the enchantments for your tools (I personally think they should buff E.Tables), you used to get an INSANE amount of OP books, I was there. Besides all this kinds of videos tend to say "Oh but why they spent so much time on this when they could spent their time on that", which isn't entirely wrong, but it's not true, it isn't as if every single employee were watching the Fish farms, they split tasks like in every other company, so when one of them spent some time watching fish farms the rest do other things. Funny that this week we've got an optimization of the 70% at high render distances.

I have a suggestion for fishing. The fishing rod can be charged up like the bow or trident depending on how far you want it to go and when you catch a fish you have to spam right click instead of just clicking it once like reeling in the fish. Not spamming it fast enough would result in losing the fish. Spamming it enough would be a guaranteed reel in. Not spamming enough but close to the point where you reel it in would result in the item be left floating on water where you need to manually go to it to get it. It would also be cool if there's a shadow going to the hook which has varying sizes depending on how big it. Treasures and junk have a small shadow while fish have multiple shadows. The smallest being 0.5-1 block, a medium-sized shadow would be around 1.4-1.8 blocks, and big shadows would be 2+ blocks. Treasure/junk would be 0.3 blocks.

Since villager rebalancing is still in experimental, why don't they revert the change in 1.16? Afk-fishing was the most feasible way to get mending in pre-1.14, so by nerfing the villager and buffing the fishing in 1.22, we'll see a balance on getting mending books It's also estimated that the chance getting a mending book with luck of the sea 3 is 0.04% and you need several books for your playthrough, so it's far from OP

Theres a simple reason why mojang hates afk fish farms is because they dont want people to get max gear, to get max gear you need enchantd books and you can get them either by fishing, which is very slow, very tedious and very boring or you can villager trade which is boring and tedious (which is why I dont like playing vanilla mc) Meanwhile afk fish farms lets people get a lot of enchanted books just by holding r click overnight which makes it a lot easier to get maxed gear by just sorting the assortment of books you fished up

[@willowshake023]

And I guess it just outweighs any other strat of getting geared up. Why would you even bother to do shit if you can just setup a funny little fish contraption, leave your PC for some time and get 100000 enchanted books. Also, they're doing an overhaul to villager trades and, at the very least, they removed the rng of trade rerolls on librarians by making biome-exclusive enchants.

[@Skellitor301_VA]

I'd imagine a better way to do fishing is to take some inspiration from irl fishing. Fact is, fishing in Minecraft isn't mentally stimulating, the most stimulation you have is watching particles swish around the bobber. Something you can do is include things like nets and spear fishing. I would make it so that fishing with a net can get you multiple items at once, and you can control this by having a net object fall through the water, the further down it goes the more fish you can get up to a limit cause of the size limitations of nets. Instead of watching a bobber, you instead watch a net sink that you can reel in at any time to collect some catches, this would be more mentally stimulating as you gauge how deep an object is vs when a bobber will randomly sink. The ability to control the catch at any time imo is a better system than randomly wait for something to happen. The catch results would be different as well, instead of catching one or two items you'd catch quite a bit more, as mentioned the further down the net the larger the catch. To balance this there's two limitations, a max limit on how much you can catch per casting (I'd say 25 is max) and you limit what you can catch to just fish and junk items. This would make the net primarily a method to get food than treasures. You can increase the yield chance of what you catch with enchantments like luck of the sea. So at base the net I'd put the limit on yield at 10, and each level of luck of the sea would increase this limit by 5, capping out at a chance at 25 fish per casting. Spear fishing would require you to swim with the fish, and the benefit you'd get with this is allowing you to collect the fish directly to your inventory, as well as get a chance to get a treasure or junk item from the flora when you throw the spear. Yes, make the spear for spear fishing throwable like a trident. This makes fishing with a spear more interesting cause now you gotta aim, and the trajectory is the same as a tridents so average players would already be somewhat familiar with this trajectory. When you dive in to collect the spears what ever you hit on the way down is caught and put in your inventory, as well as a chance to roll on the junk and treasure table if the spear landed in some vegetation. The reason for this? I needed a reason to explain how junk and treasure can be caught by a hook, so I figured they got tangled in the flora when the water washed them away from its origins. The main limit to this feature is you can't spam the same flora, only one spear would get a roll per flora it lands within, any others just gives you any fish it caught on the way down. Luck of the sea will increase the chances of getting a good item like it does with the fishing rod when the one spear does this roll. Now for the fishing rod itself. The downside is the fact that it does a pretty good job at replicating actual fishing, not a lot happens when you fish with a bobber. you can pull the rod around and get your lure to attract a fish better but that's about it. Implementing this would require having the rod pull the bobber around when you look which feels like it would complicate the code and have implications on other aspects of the rods gaming meta. If that was implemented, could speed up the catch rate so you're not just staring at the bobber for as long. If that isn't implemented then maybe something more stimulating is to implement fly fishing and leave bobber fishing to other aspects of the game. So instead of watching a bobber, you cast a bobberless line and reel the line in with your hook or a lure going through the water. When you bring the hook in there's a chance you catch something, and you roll like normal on the fishing table if you succeeded in catching something. The main thing that would affect this is the further out you cast and pull the hook through the water, the greater the chances of success are. This will add the need to aim and plan your cast, making longer bodies of water preferable where you can cast your hook further out. I'd also add in the ability to have different lures on the hook, we already got 2 items on hook fishing rods, so adding a few more can help expand on this and get you different kinds of stuff. Different colored or shiny lures can attract different kinds of fish, while something like a magnet or maybe using the ability of soulsand to "suction" the water around it and increase your chances for treasure loot.

As someone who abused this mechanic I could without a doubt say the 1.13 farm was the most OP farm in the game period. It takes no special requirements, takes less than a minute to build, and basically gives you SO MUCH in return from just leaving your game open with right click held. I used to dominate small anarchy servers with this method, you max enchant your gear effortlessly without even going above the ground.
