 Description   

While you fishing with the fishing rod and click MouseButton1 (for striking with the rod) the fishing line is in the air. You see it on the photo.

That's not the same issue, it's another issue that the fishing line goes up instead of down when casting.

Comment by Fabian Röling [ 27/Apr/17 ]

Wait, this was marked as fixed already. Are you sure you encountered exactly this bug? MC-6579 is very similar.

Comment by user33 [ 27/Apr/17 ]

Still an issue in 17w17a

Comment by user33 [ 26/Apr/17 ]

Still an issue in 17w16b

Comment by PrOF [ 06/Oct/16 ]

This is still an issue in Minecraft 1.10.2
Java 8, Windows 10

Comment by [Mod] Les3awe [ 25/Jun/16 ]

deafgeek: Bobber floating in the air, this is MC-11877.

Comment by Jared Jonas [ 24/Jun/16 ]

Fishing line not connecting and bobber floating in the air is still present in Minecraft (java) 1.10.2

added screenshot of it. (river/squid photo)

Comment by Kodiac Manczuk [ 27/May/16 ]

Okay, Sorry

Comment by Kumasasa [ 26/May/16 ]

Draginlock: This is MC-83185, but quite unrelated.

Comment by Kodiac Manczuk [ 26/May/16 ]

I've also noticed that you can't fish with you off-hand, think that could be solved also who ever sees this post?

Comment by Mogyle Le Toulousain [ 02/Mar/16 ]

Added 2 screenshots on 1.9
Same fishing throw, just walked on 1 block deep water to show a close up of the bobber flying

Comment by Mogyle Le Toulousain [ 02/Mar/16 ]

Confirmed for 1.9
Fishing line is not connected to the rod (offset on the right) and the bobber floats way above water

Comment by Cameron Arnott [ 20/Jan/16 ]

Confirmed 16w02a not attached , the line up and to the right by a large amount

Comment by a [ 10/Aug/15 ]

Yeah, in 15w32c, it's still not perfect, but it is much improved. Since Mojang obviously changed something deliberately, if they think it's good enough, then it's good enough, and they can improve it more later if they feel like it.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 09/Aug/15 ]

Cannot confirm for 15w32c (fishing line is not fully attached to the rod, but that's MC-83425)

Comment by a [ 29/Jul/15 ]

affects 15w31a

Comment by a [ 29/May/15 ]

In 1.8.6

Comment by a [ 08/Nov/14 ]

In 1.8.1-pre4

Comment by Galaxy_2Alex [ 24/Oct/14 ]

Reopened, thanks.

Comment by a [ 24/Oct/14 ]

Yup, 1.8.1-pre3 the line will not follow the rod when left clicking while fishing.

Comment by Itouch2 [ 08/May/14 ]

Confirmed for 14w18b.

Comment by Itouch2 [ 10/Mar/14 ]

Still a concern in 1.7.4, 1.7.5, 14w08a and 14w10c

Comment by [Mod] Ezekiel (ezfe) [ 26/Jan/14 ]

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w04b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Comment by Joshua Merrett [ 26/Nov/13 ]

for me it seems to happen when i change the fov, the bigger the fov the bigger the problem

Comment by Floris Huizinga [ 05/Nov/13 ]

Confirmed for 1.7.2.

Swinging to the south works fine. Swinging towards the north breaks as displayed on the screenshots.

Comment by PlNG [ 07/Jan/13 ]

confirmed for 1.4.6.

Swinging to the north makes it go up (upside down?) and swinging to the south looks fine.

Comment by Chalmes (Jon) [ 13/Nov/12 ]

Confirmed in 1.4.4 as well. Related to MC-2785
