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! A video uploaded exactly on time, 2 weeks later, now watch as I never upload a video on schedule again LMAO

[windylibra]

Instead of remaking the fishing mechanic, they just want to maintain the existing uninteresting way of fishing. Why?

[theholygrail]

all of that progression for AFK fish farms to FINALLY be so simple, then they just do a 180 and become more complicated than ever

[Kabu_Lordofcinder]

AFK Fishing farms is the embodyment of the 'I didn't hear no bell' meme.
It doesn't matter what Mojang does, sooner or later a way to do it will be found

[SillyTopHatFrog]

Mojang: You can build anything!

Mojang when they see fish farms:

[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.

[koye]

An overlooked piece of information here: Mojang literally took down RaysWorks's Google drive world save on "copyright reasons" because of the fish farm. Several other farms were also saved in that same world, and were caught in the collateral. When he tried to re-upload, it was taken down again.

[x_MoonlitShade]

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.

*People just trying to have a chill game without spending hours of boring right clicking and looking at a blue screen.*


Mojang: "And so I took that personally."

[DeeCeeHaich]

yet they made villagers 100x more op than this in 1.14

[owbie]

“Nobody likes fishing” someone clearly has never built a small fishing shack on the water and fished while it was raining with your Minecraft dog

[thomb.]

holdup why do they care about afk fishing so much, meanwhile they do nothing against raid farms and other player required afk farms? if you allow raid farms afk fishing should be allowed too. yknow, because afk fishing is way less op than raid farms.

[pnkeo]

Mojang when they see a band-aid fix instead of actually fixing what's wrong with a certain system.

[Tylorean]

Just a little fyi: Raysworks hasn’t invented a *single* farm at all. All the designs presented on the channel have been invented by other people days or weeks, sometimes even months, earlier.

[Arcingbite]

Damn i never realised how inef-fish-cient Mojang actions. We need this fishing update, and maybe you can spent another 24 hours for a bet without being so bored

[RaysWorks]

Great video! Very entertaining and informative.
When I made the sculk sensor design I actually DM a mojang dev and asked if it would get nerfed and they said 'can't answer that without seeing it' Which made me nervous.😅 You did miss the time period between 1.16 nerf and sculk sensor added. We did make afk fish farms treasure loot fish farms then but reeled in at cycles timing for best luck of fish being on there.

[exxpo]

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.

Making smithing templates only spawn in certain chests makes players who dont want to spend hours exploring unhappy

Making froglights an incrediblely tedious exercise in futility makes builders upset.

I wish they would just add stuff and let up interact with it the way we want to, even if it is cheesy, broken, or unintended. Its what makes Minecraft feel like Minecraft

[DQuillion]

I still LOVE regular fishing, just hits different when your in you fishing shack by the lake in a spruce forest next to your pet dog

[jaythewolf]

everyone - hates fishing
me - fishing for hours each day

[TheGeekFactor]

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. They know that 90% of java players will download sodium or optifine, so why even bother fixing and spending money if others have fixed it for free? It's a shame, but I think that's why it happens. Also, thanks for having me on again! :D
