Tutorials/Fish farming

Fish farming is an easy method of catching large quantities of fish and other items by fishing. Most AFK designs involve right-clicking an iron door with tripwire above it, causing fish caught to flow into a hopper and then into a collection chest.

AFK automatic fish farming
Automatic fish farming involves right-clicking a door with tripwire above it and hoppers for collection, with an automatic fishing rod dropper to supply new fishing rods when the previous one breaks.

As of Minecraft 1.11, iron doors and trapdoors no longer register the 'use' control, so older designs no longer work. These first designs work with the updated door mechanics.

This one is compatible with minecraft 1.11:It is also possible to eliminate the redstone clock used in most pre-1.11 designs:

The videos below show older designs.

Semi-automatic fish farming (not designed for AFK)
Semi-automatic fish farms involve detecting the fishing rod using tripwire to close a door while fishing, improving fishing rates.

This is a basic design using hoppers to automatically collect fish while being very quick and simple to build.
