About the Fishing Rod
The fishing rod is a tool for catching fish and other loot from water. Cast it into a river, lake, or ocean, watch the bobber dip below the surface, then reel in. You can pull up fish, junk, and occasionally treasure, making it a useful early food source and a slow way to find rare items like enchanted books.
You can also use it on land as a utility tool. Cast it at a mob, player, or dropped item to hook and yank it toward you, which can disrupt enemies or drag loot closer. The rod takes durability damage whenever you reel in, and it can be enchanted with Lure, Luck of the Sea, Unbreaking, and Mending.
How to get the Fishing Rod
You can craft a fishing rod from three sticks and two string at a crafting table. Fisherman villagers sometimes sell enchanted rods, and you may also reel up a damaged rod as junk while fishing. If you are just starting out, spider string and a few sticks are enough to make one.
