Fishing in one click. Press the Proto Angler button: your fishing pole goes on from your bags, your weapons are remembered, and a small Proto panel opens with Fish, Bait and Done. Needs Proto Core (the CurseForge app adds it).

Known issues / Improvements

• Proto Angler: the game only sees your bobber within about 10 yards (a Forever bug: it ignores the range setting). Cast further and Proto Angler plays a short sound: left-click the bobber itself to reel in, or tap right-click to cast again.
• Tip: run ~20 yards out and fish back toward the shore. Your casts land closer and almost always in reach.
• Proto Angler: switching to your fishing gear set automatically when you start fishing is planned
• Proto Angler: better support for casting where you choose, for floating crates and fish pools, is planned

New in 0.0.7

• Fish bar button: no more action bar error while fishing

Get started

1. Have a fishing pole in your bags
2. Left-click the minimap button for Proto Home, then click the Proto Angler tile: your pole goes on and the panel opens
3. Drag Open/close button from the tile to a bar, and Fish from the panel too: next time it's one press
4. Face the water and left-click anywhere: it baits your pole, casts, then reels in when you click again after the splash
5. Tap right-click to cast again. Press your Open/close button (or Done) for your weapons back

Fish without the fiddling

• Open and close with one button: drag it from Proto Home's Angler tile (or ServiceShop's Fishing panel). Press it for your pole on, again for your weapons back
• Fish bar button: drag Fish from the panel to your bar. It baits your pole when it needs it, else casts
• Left-click anywhere in the world: baits your pole when it needs it, casts, and reels in while your line is out. It never casts again on its own
• Tap right-click in the world to cast again at once, no wait. Spam it at a fish pool. Hold right-click to steer as usual
• Cast too far for the game to see your bobber? A short sound plays: left-click the bobber itself to reel in (pick the sound or turn it off: Settings > Tools > Proto Angler)
• Look around: hold Shift and drag with either mouse button
• Done puts your weapons back on; a fight does it for you at once

Bait and skill at a glance

• Bait shows the lure's time left and glows when your pole needs one; right-click it to pick another lure (only ones your skill can use)
• Your zone's fishing skill under the buttons, coloured by yours
• Auto-loot while fishing: turn it on in Settings > Tools > Proto Angler (used when your own auto-loot is off)

Hear your bite

• Effects full, other sounds lower while your line is out (set how low on the panel), heard from your character, even in the background
• Everything goes back the way you had it when you stop
