How do You Fish on Minecraft? A Simple Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how to reel in some aquatic treasures in Minecraft? Fishing in Minecraft is not only a fun pastime but also a fantastic way to gather food and other cool items. Let’s dive into how you can start fishing in the blocky world of Minecraft.
How exactly do you fish in Minecraft, you might ask? Let’s get right to it with a clear and simple guide.
Getting Started with Fishing in Minecraft
To start fishing in Minecraft, you first need a fishing rod. You can craft a fishing rod using three sticks and two strings. Place the sticks in a diagonal line from the bottom left to the top right of the crafting grid, and then add the strings in the leftmost column below the sticks. If crafting isn’t your thing, you can also find fishing rods in chests scattered throughout the game world or trade with villagers.
Once you have your fishing rod, head over to any body of water – be it a river, lake, or even the ocean. Right-click (or tap the ‘Use’ option on mobile) with the fishing rod equipped to cast your line into the water. Wait for a trail of bubbles to approach your bobber, and as soon as it dips below the water, right-click again to reel in your catch. You might catch fish, junk, or even treasure!
Earning Cool Rewards While Fishing in Minecraft
Fishing in Minecraft is not just about catching fish; it’s about what those catches can lead to. You can cook the fish you catch for food, or find enchanted items and books among the treasures. There’s a sense of unpredictability and excitement with every cast of the line.
