How do you fish with a fishing rod in Minecraft?

The fishing mechanics are easy to get the hang of. Cast the float over an area of’water by right-clicking (or long-pressing on a mobile device). Then wait for bubbles rise to the surface toward the float: this is a sign that a fish is approaching. As soon as the float dips below the’water, pull the line immediately by right-clicking a second time.

If you miss the right moment, the fish will swim away and you'll have to cast your line again. Each successful catch earns you between 1 and 6 experience points.

the float must be in the’water to make fishing work. A single block of’water It's technically sufficient, but the blocks of’water above and around it influence fishing conditions. Several factors influence the waiting time Before the touch:

  • In Java Edition, fishing under the rain reduces wait time. To be able to fish for treasures, the float must be located in open water measuring 5 x 5 x 4 with no solid obstacles around it, including the water and air above it.
  • In Bedrock Edition, the rain also reduces the wait time by 20%.
  • Fishing under the ice is possible, but the float remains trapped under the blocks of ice.

Treasures Enchanted Book, enchanted fishing rod, enchanted bow, saddle, nautilus shell, label, boat, bowl of mushroom stew 5 %
Waste String, bone, leather, bowl, cacao beans, vial of water, ink reservoir, rotting flesh, damaged leather boot 10 %
