# Auto Rod

The *Auto Rod* module handles the fishing-rod throw sequence for you: it swaps to a rod, throws it at a nearby enemy, retracts it, and returns to your weapon. In Automatic mode a smart combat engine decides the optimal moment to rod based on target movement and distance.

## Mode

What initiates a rod sequence. **Bind** (the default) fires the sequence once each time you press the keybind. **Toggle** turns auto-rodding on or off, firing sequences automatically while it is on. **Automatic** hands the decision to Akira's Smart PvP engine, which rods based on target sprint state, distance, invulnerability frames, and movement direction.

## Retract Speed

How long to wait after the throw before the rod is reeled in, from `50` to `500 ms` (default `150 ms`). Shorter values reel in faster.

## Action Delay

The pause between each step of the sequence — slot switch, right-click, slot switch back — from `10` to `200 ms` (default `50 ms`). Shorter values complete the sequence faster.

## Randomize Delays

Applies a ±30% random offset to both **Retract Speed** and **Action Delay** on each sequence, producing a more natural rhythm. On by default.

## Always Switch To Weapon

After completing the rod sequence, Akira switches to the first weapon slot it finds in your hotbar rather than returning to whichever slot you were on before the throw. On by default.

## Use Throwables

If no fishing rod is found in your hotbar, Akira uses a snowball or egg instead to apply a knockback effect. Off by default.

## Distance

Only used in Automatic mode: Akira considers an enemy a valid rod target only when they sit within this block range, from `1.0` to `10.0 blocks` (default `3.0 - 6.0`).

## Rod Cooldown

The minimum time between rod sequences, from `500` to `5000 ms` (default `1500 ms`). This prevents rapid repeat throws that look like spam.

## Conditions

Extra requirements that limit when Auto Rod fires. With nothing checked, it fires in any state.

* **Weapon Only** — only while holding a weapon
* **Clicking Only** — only while actively clicking
* **Standing**, **Sneaking**, **Walking**, **Sprinting** — restrict to a movement state
* **On Ground** / **Air** — restrict to grounded or airborne
* **Eating** — only while eating
* **In Liquid** — only while in water or lava

## Auto disable

Turns Auto Rod off automatically when any selected event happens: **On Death**, **On World Switch**, **On Server Leave**, **On Teleport**, or **On LagBack**.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Recommended:** Automatic mode is the most hands-free option. The Smart PvP engine accounts for target sprint state, distance, and invulnerability timing, so it rods at moments where it is likely to connect and slow the target effectively.
