I recently created an AFK fish farm in 1.13 pre4. I'm using a fishing rod with the best enchants(Lure 3, Luck of the Sea 3, Unbreaking 3, Mending). I tried it out over a period of 2 hours, and it worked fine. However, after coming back to my computer after AFKing for 4 hrs, my fishing rod was no longer in my inventory, and I'm assuming it broke. The 2 double chests connected to the farm were completely full. Does Mending not replenish the durability of fishing rods fast enough using the XP gained from fishing(I find this doubtful, considering I gained 34 levels after coming back), does fishing not give XP if there's no room in the chest for the item, or is this a bug with 1.13? I don't have the time to test this on 1.12, could someone do this, or tell me from personal experience?
You have to stash everything with mending in a chest aside the rod, armor, tools, everything. I have tested it extensively. If there is anything else anywhere in your inventory with mending the XP will go there instead of the rod.

I'd be happy to provide evidence, what do you need a screenshot of? I think my mouse is getting moved slowly so that the rod is eventually just being continually cast, causing the rod to break.

Screenshots of your inventory, your hand with the rod and without, maybe even a gif of the rod breaking if you can get it to happen again.

It's probably something like that, then. Most people probably figured Hexalobular had the right of it (other Mending equipment), but even that guess was a stretch.
It can be a very finicky process, as you've gathered. I've done it four nights of 4-8 hours each, but have not heard of a Mending rod breaking. It can get a tad low, but nothing serious.
Just check on it from time to time. If you can unplug or turn off your mouse for the night (mine has a switch), probably a good idea.
Report back.

Right now I'm using a setting to keep the mouse button held, since holding a keyboard button activates the rod too fast in 1.13. I still don't fully understand how the mouse could move, so I'll try using a keyboard button again in pre-5(I tried it last in pre-3)

Gravity, for one. Even the cords connecting your devices to the computer weigh enough to potentially drag the mouse around by their own weight. When high-speed internet first arrived in our area (which, if I recall, was through EarthLink), we were shipped an internal modem card to be installed into the computer. Everything went fine with installation, we verified connection and all that, but then soon after we started noticing frequent outages of service...it turned out that this particular card had a faulty plug connector that didn't seat the cord properly and the sheer weight of the cord itself was enough to pull the plug out just far enough to break the connection. The tech guy knew exactly what was wrong as soon as he asked which device we had, and shipped us an external modem instead.
Another thing that can generate mouse movement is simple heat/cold. During the day, things (ie, furniture) naturally heat up as the sun naturally warms up the Earth and will expand slowly over time. Then, at night, that heat dissipates and things shrink back down. If you've ever listened to your house creak and crack at night, this is why. If your desk is so effected, that creaking and cracking can register as movement even though to you nothing changed.
Finally, there's just living your life. You get up, move around, maybe bump into the desk or trip over a cord, etc. During the hot months you might have a fan or AC vent going that blows across the desk. While the breeze from this is not strong enough by far to move the mouse itself, it might catch something else nearby that then bumps on something else that connects to the mouse.
I can say with absolute certainty, that the mending works, the mouse is not moving, and after an AFK fish session over night the rod is gone.
I am using this design, which works in 1.13
I position the mouse and unplug the mouse while holding right click. No gravity can affect it.
I unplug the keyboard to prevent any interaction that way.
The experience repairs the rod immediately and even repairs other items as the formulas for mending is to randomly select a piece of equipment with mending, see if it needs repair, and the excess experience goes to your character. I eliminated this by also only carrying the mending fishing rod.
This is a possible nerf, but I can't seem to find anything to confirm it.
I have seen this happen if I was not standing close enough to the pressure plate to collect the XP orbs. It is difficult to get exactly right because if you get too close the water sucks you right up against the pressure plate.
I suspect the mouse or the driver. I have, on occasion, noticed my mouse pointer drifting in windows with no input from me. Fortunately for me this happens on my work computer but not my home computer. If you have a similar problem as soon as the rod fails to trigger the mechanism every cast is wearing it down.
I've also been pushed by a zombie pigman but my AFK fishing farm was next to the portal so kinda my fault.

Hello,
I have mending on all my equipment (from mending books found while AFK fishing).. I have noticed that SOMETIMES.. my rod breaks overnifght...It seems to happen if the mouse even drifts SLIGHTLY during the night, causing it to aim at the blocks around the "sweet-spot". It sometimes goes back. but while off the sweet-spot, it takes damage from usage. This has been my experience.,

Looks like your testing confirms the hypothesis for the mouse angle being dependent on the fishing success.
I would've guessed that 1.13 has you only gain XP by collecting the item as opposed to pre 1.13, explaining why not getting the item would prevent you getting the XP. Haven't actually done any fishing in 1.13 though, so take my guess with a grain of salt.
I got the same thing yesterday and i don't know what to do to fix it.
have you figured out what's been causing it? if so, could you please let me know.
basically i left to go to sleep and i was afk fishing, my mouse was unpluged and my touchpad on the laptop doesn't work, but when i woke up all 3 double chests that i had were full and there were some stuff in my inventory but the rod was no where to be seen.
i wanna try this again, just so i can figure it out but, if you figured it out please let me know so i don't have to waste my time with it.

1.12.2 definitely gives you XP even if your inventory is full so the fish just drop off into the water.
A chest and hopper wouldn't make any difference.
Did you have any other equipment with Mending? Armor for instance?
Just testing.
No, I only had the Fishing Rod. I wouldn't have gained those levels if Mending were working properly.
You have to stash everything with mending in a chest aside the rod, armor, tools, everything. I have tested it extensively. If there is anything else anywhere in your inventory with mending the XP will go there instead of the rod.
As I stated in my previous post, I had nothing in my inventory except a few Netherrack to seal the entrance to my farm.
A screenshot would provide more tangible evidence, as we can't go on word alone.

Hello everyone!
I am having the same issue.
I can say with absolute certainty, that the mending works, the mouse is not moving, and after an AFK fish session over night the rod is gone.
I am using this design, which works in 1.13
I position the mouse and unplug the mouse while holding right click. No gravity can affect it.

Hmmm. Interesting, Silver. Thanks for the report.

Couple of possibilities for you to consider:
I suspect the mouse or the driver. I have, on occasion, noticed my mouse pointer drifting in windows with no input from me. Fortunately for me this happens on my work computer but not my home computer. If you have a similar problem as soon as the rod fails to trigger the mechanism every cast is wearing it down.
