A brand-new mod for Stardew Valley has been released which makes the fishing minigame much less challenging. By using the mod, Stardew Valley players will be able to skip the hardest part of the minigame, as fish will automatically be caught once they bite the rod.
While a worthwhile endeavor, fishing can be a notoriously difficult minigame for many new Stardew Valley players. Beyond the fish itself, which can be sold for gold or used for cooking beneficial food items, this activity can also provide a plethora of interesting in-game rewards, like treasure chests that contain useful materials and gems. Players have to equip a fishing rod while near a body of water, and then cast it, and wait for a fish to bite. As soon as a fish bites, a bar appears, and players have the difficult task of catching the fish by maneuvering a green rectangle around a fish icon until the progress bar is completely filled.

MercuryVN is the author of Auto Catch, a Stardew Valley mod designed to make the fishing minigame easier. With the new mod installed, players can catch fish automatically once they start nibbling on their rod, without any other complicated input from the player. While there are numerous Stardew Valley mods available for the game, Auto Catch stands out for its simplicity, not adding any other unnecessary features to the game. Gamers looking to try Auto Catch out should keep in mind that the mod was not created with multiplayer in mind, and it does not skip the whole fishing minigame, just the challenging part of it.
Stardew Valley’s fishing minigame can be made easier once the player’s Fishing skill goes up, as they will receive bonuses such as decreasing the time before a fish will bite. However, for those who are frustrated with this particular gameplay mechanic, MercuryVN’s Auto Catch mod can certainly be a welcome addition to their game.
