You must stand on the chests with your fishing rod equipped to use the fishing farm. Aim at the trapdoor and hold down your right-click or secondary action key. Your character will automatically start fishing and reel in the rod once an item is caught. The item will drop into the hopper, and your character will continue fishing.PC users can also hold down, right-click and then unplug the mouse. This trick makes the system continue spamming the key, allowing you to enjoy a fully AFK experience and gain all the XP from the farm without the hassle of constantly spamming commands.
