Fishing Rod Minecraft Obtaining

Fishing Rod Minecraft Crafting

Fishing

Enchanted fishing rods can be obtained as “treasure” items while fishing, and unenchanted rods are “junk” items.

Commerce

Journey level fisherman villagers sell enchanted fishing rods for 6 emeralds. The talisman is the same as the one obtained from the talisman at levels 5–19.

Loot the chest

Warped carrots/mushrooms on sticks

If the carrot on the rod or the mushroom on the rod is used to zero durability, it becomes a fishing rod again.

Looting from the crowd

In the Java Version, the drowning mob has a 3.75% chance of spawning when a fishing rod is equipped. In the Bedrock version, natural drowners have a 0.85% chance of spawning with a fishing rod, while a converted drowner has a 1% chance of spawning with a fishing rod. If killed, they have an 8.5% chance of dropping this fishing rod. That chance increases by 1% for each level of Loot applied to the weapon (up to 11.5% chance). Dropped items will be damaged and never enchanted.

Fishing Rod Minecraft Using

Fishing

Fishing rods can be dropped into the water. After a short while, a stream of bubble beads approached the fishing rod. If the fishing rod is rolled back after the particles “bite” the float, the player will receive fish, trash, or possibly a treasure item. If the fishing rod is already in the player’s hand and is no longer available, the fishing entity will appear, unless the fishing rod is lost or it has been exchanged for another rod [citation needed].

Fishing Rod Minecraft Crafting ingredient

Hooks mobs and other entities

Fishing rods can be used to fish mobs, items‌ [Java version only] and some entities and even players. The fishing rod can then be rolled up, pulling the hooked object towards the player without dealing damage. Spinning in a mob or entity costs 5 durability points and spinning in an item costs 3 points. Spinning a mob will pull it towards the player at 1/10 the distance between the mob and the player.

Besides mobs and items, entities that can be caught in include:

Boat
The boat has a chest
Minecart of any type
Armor rack
Shulker bullets
Fire ball
Small fireball
TNT primed

Any falling blocks like Sand, Gravel, Dragon Egg, Concrete Powder, Scaffolding, Snow Version on Rock or Anvil
Some entities can be joined but not scrolled in:

Mobs ride/are ridden by other mobs (in Bedrock Version, hooked mobs will dismount)

Pictures
Item frame
Lead knot
Final crystal
Shulker

Attempting to roll said entities still loses the bar’s durability.

The remaining entities cannot be joined at all:

Thrown eggs
Throw snowballs
Pearl ender throw
Ender’s throwing eyes
Throwing medicine
Throw the bottle o’ charm
Dragon fireball
Withered skull
Fireworks rockets are flying
Arrows are flying
Area effect cloud
XP Orb

Using it on villagers will reduce the player’s popularity and cause any naturally spawning iron golems nearby to attack.

Fishing Rod Minecraft Fuel

A fishing rod can be used as fuel in the furnace, each fishing rod can smelt 1.5 items.

Other uses

Hooks can also be used to activate weighted pressure plates.

Charm

Fishing rods can receive the following enchantments:

Fishing rods with the Mending charm have unlimited durability if used only for fishing. The fishing rod gradually repairs itself using experience gained each time the player fishes, even when starting from almost 0% durability. Players wearing damaged Mending armor have a lower average repair rate, because the repairman can ignore damage to the bar while repairing the armor. Unbreak III can almost guarantee that the bar will not break, unless it already has low durability.
