Enchanted books, nautilus shells, and a plethora of other great treasures may all be obtained through fishing in Minecraft. There’s no reason not to fish in any Minecraft environment, given how dominant the fishing game mechanics are. There are so many things to acquire, and an enchanted fishing rod increases your chances of catching some incredible goods!
Casting fishing rods into water is easy. A stream of bubble particles approaches the fishing line after a short time. When the particles “bite” the bobber and the rod is pulled in, the player gets a fish, junk, or sometimes a treasured item. Unless the fishing rod is moved to the off-hand or switched with another fishing rod, the fishing bobber entity despawns if it’s in the player’s hand and is no longer there.
How to Make a Fishing Rod in Minecraft
The fishing rod can be used to catch mobs, items [Java Edition only], entities, and even players. The fishing rod can then be reeled in, dragging the fish closer to the player while causing no damage. Reeling in a mob or creature costs 5 durability points while reeling in an item costs 3 durability points. Reeling a mob drags it toward the player at 1/10 times the distance between the mob and the player.
A fishing rod can also be utilized as a source of fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per rod. Wooden pressure plates or weighted pressure plates can also be activated with the hook.
Now that you know about Fishing Rod, let’s start making it.
Items required to make a Fishing Rod
First of all, to craft anything in Minecraft, one requires a Crafting Table.
Making crafting tables is as simple as placing a block of wood in the 2×2 crafting area and cutting it into four wooden planks. These four wooden planks are re-positioned in the crafting area, creating a crafting table.
Tables for crafting can be put on the ground. They display a 3×3 grid that may be used to make several of the game’s items.
You can also find Crafting Tables in Villages.
To make a fishing rod, you will need to combine the following materials in the Crafting Table:
- Three Sticks
The material you’ll need to build sticks is the wood logs from any type of tree. Find a tree and chop down wood logs with your iron axe.
After that, you’ll need to build wooden planks on the crafting table. Open the 3*3 crafting grid on the crafting table and place wood blocks in the center or any cell of the grid. Wood planks can be found at the crafting table’s right-hand box.
Make two sticks out of two wooden planks. Place one plank on the middlebox of the upper row of the Crafting Table. Place the second plank on the middlebox of the middle row of the Crafting Table. You’ve now created a bundle of sticks, which you should drag from the results box into your inventory.
- Two Strings
It’s pretty simple to get two pieces of string. It can be done in two ways. The first method is to kill a spider. Spiders are nocturnal mobs that spawn exclusively during the night.
Another approach to getting a piece of string is to make a sword and use it to break a cobweb. Cobwebs are most commonly found in abandoned mineshafts and dungeons. One piece of string is dropped when a cobweb is broken with a sword.
Directions to make a Fishing Rod

- When you have all the items, open the Crafting Table and drag the items there in the following fashion:
- In the upper row of your 3×3 crafting table grid, place one Stick in the last column.
- In the middle row of your 3×3 crafting table grid, place one Stick in the middle column and one String in the last column.
- In the lower row of your 3×3 crafting table grid, place one Stick in the first column and one String in the last column.
