HereFishy

A Paper Minecraft plugin for auto-fishing — automatically catch fish and re-cast your rod without manual intervention.

Features

Core (always on)

• Auto-fishing toggle — /herefishy start and /herefishy stop.
• Automatic re-cast — After catches or failed attempts the rod is cast again automatically.
• Vanilla-ish loot & XP — Simulated vanilla fishing loot (fish, junk, treasure) plus Minecraft XP (1–6 per catch).
• Rod durability protection — Stops when only a few casts remain (≤ 5 uses by default).
• Inventory-full handling
  • Default: stops with a chat message when you have no empty slots (firstEmpty).
  • Optional routed setup: when you bind crates + junk spot (below), teleport fish stash → trophy chest → junk stand → fishing spot, then resumes if offload succeeds.
• Activity Summary (New in 1.2.1) — Instead of individual chat messages for every catch, a summary is displayed when auto-fishing stops or after each successful offload.
  • Breakdowns by category: Fish, Treasure, and Junk.
  • Displays the number of times inventory was dumped.
• Surplus buffering — If a catch cannot be placed in your inventory (addItem overflow) while routed, that stack is routed on the teleport trip instead of spamming drops onshore.
• Rod break detection — Stops if the autofish rod shatters mid-session.
• Session persistence — Loot routing overrides and chest bindings are saved and reloaded automatically when you reconnect.
• AuraSkills hooks (optional) — When AuraSkills is installed:
  • Better simulated rolls — More treasure / less junk (+0.25% Fishing level scaling). Capped to ensure standard treasure (books, etc.) remains available at high levels.
  • Faster re-casting — 1 tick shaved per ten Fishing levels.
  • Vanilla XP +2% per Fishing level on each catch plus bonus AuraSkills XP (+2% per level multiplier on the Aura XP payload).
  • Rarity-based treasure — Standard, Rare, Epic with scaling bonuses per fishing level.
• HereRolePlay integration (optional) — When HereRolePlay is installed, automatically awards Collect experience points directly to the player for each fish caught, helping level up gathering/collecting classes.

Routed loot dump (Paper 1.2.1)

1. /herefishy setup:
   • Starts the setup wizard.
   • First sneak-click on an inventory block → treasure chest/barrel/etc.
   • Second sneak-click on an inventory block → fish stash.
   • Third sneak-click (any block) → anchors your junk drop location.
2. /herefishy config — GUI for every junk/treasure material in the simulated tables. Toggle whether each stacks into the treasure chest vs junk drops (fish ALWAYS use the fish chest). Routing updates chat colors & AuraSkills XP weights to reflect the overrides.

Luck of the Sea on the autofish rod still affects simulated treasure/junk probabilities.

Requirements

• Paper 1.21+ (plugin api-version: '1.21'; built against Paper 1.21.4 API)
• Java 21
• (Optional) AuraSkills 2.x

Installation

1. Grab HereFishy-1.2.4.jar from Releases (or ./gradlew build locally — see below).
2. Drop the JAR in plugins/.
3. Restart the server (recommended over hot-reloads on production worlds).

Building from Source

./gradlew build   # POSIX

.\gradlew.bat build   # Windows PowerShell/cmd

The compiled plugin jar is written to:

build/libs/HereFishy-1.2.4.jar

Recent Changes (v1.2.4)

• Added command alias /hf — Players can now use /hf as a short alias for /herefishy.
• Version bump & clean build — Bumped version to 1.2.4 to maintain consistency across all plugins.

Commands & permissions

All commands can be run with /hf instead of /herefishy.

How to use

1. Hold any fishing rod in main or off-hand.
2. Run /herefishy start.
3. Cast once manually — the hook automates reels + recasts.
4. (Optional) Configure /herefishy config BEFORE or DURING farming to match personal junk vs treasure taxonomy.
5. (Optional) Run /herefishy setup and follow chat instructions to bind:
   • treasure chest → fish chest → lava/junk footing.
   • Without this trio the plugin behaves like <1.1.0: hard stop once inventory lacks space.

Autofishing halts instantly if rods break/nearly snap, inventories overflow without valid routing, offload fails (chest full mid-route), /herefishy stop fires, or the player logs off.

Version

Current release documented here: 1.2.4 (Gradle + plugin.yml stay in sync).
