How to Fish in Minecraft

In Minecraft, fishing is a very simple mini game. Once you have procured a fishing rod, all you have to do is cast, wait for a fish to bite, and then reel in. Casting and reeling are both accomplished by pressing the use item button, and you don’t have to worry about bait, lures, or any other complications. Here’s how to fish in Minecraft:

Catching Fish and Treasure in Minecraft

When you go fishing in Minecraft with a regular fishing rod, each cast has an 85 percent chance of catching a fish. You can catch cod and salmon in lakes, ponds, rivers, and player-made bodies of water, and both of those along with the addition of tropical fish and pufferfish are available from oceans.

In addition to the 85 percent chance of catching fish, you also have a 10 percent chance of reeling in some junk and a 5 percent chance of catching some treasure. These percentages can be changed if you enchant your fishing rod. Some treasures you can catch include enchanted books, name tags, and saddles, all of which are difficult to find otherwise. You can also find bows and fishing rods. For trash, you can haul in a variety of items from rotten flesh to slightly more useful items like bones and water bottles.

How to Get a Fishing Rod in Minecraft

To get a fishing rod in Minecraft, you have to craft it using a crafting table. First make and place your crafting table, then obtain at least three sticks, and finally obtain at least two strings. You’re then ready to craft your own fishing rod.

How to Get String in Minecraft

The materials required to make a fishing rod in Minecraft are sticks and string. Sticks are easy, since you make them from trees, but string takes a little more work. String is a useful material that’s used to make things like leashes, bows, and fishing rods. You can obtain string by finding cobwebs in locations like underground mines and other structures, or by killing spider mobs. Here’s the easiest way to get string:

How to Enchant a Fishing Rod in Minecraft

You can start fishing right away once you have a fishing rod, but enchanting your rod can make it easier to catch rare treasures, reduce the amount of time it takes for a fish to bite, and add other useful traits. To enchant a fishing rod, you’ll need an enchanting table and a decent amount of experience points.

Fishing On Demand in Minecraft

You can fish in any body of water in Minecraft, which means you’re free to cast your line in any pond, stream, or even the ocean. If you’re off adventuring, and there aren’t any bodies of water handy, you can also create your own fishing hole. Just carry along a single bucket of water, and you’ll have a never-ending supply of fish for emergency food wherever you go. Here’s how to fish anywhere in Minecraft:
