Fishing Rods are tools for catching fish from large bodies of water. To bait a fishing rod, craft it with a Spider Eye, Rotten Flesh, a Bat Wing, or a Creeper Oyster. You can also right click the fishing rod in your hand to add bait, if you have it in your hotbar, so you don't have to open your inventory between every fish caught.

Of course, there are always alternative methods of fishing...

Bait can also be applied by right clicking with an unbaited fishing rod with bait on the hotbar. Bait will be consumed from left to right.

Once bait has been added, cast out your line into a deep body of water source blocks, such as a lake or the ocean, by right clicking. The bobber will shake slightly as it floats in the water, and will dip underwater with a splashing sounds when it has hooked a fish. You will need to quickly right click again to fling the fish towards you. Each successful catch removes the bait and must be replaced to continue fishing.

Flinging

Fishing rods can also hook on to mobs and animals, dealing no damage but causing animals to panic, and right clicking again will cause them to be flung towards you. Flinging when you are further away increases the power of the fling and can cause death to the victim due to fall damage.

Hardcore Fishing

Hardcore Fishing describes a set of changes which modify the probabilities of catching fish based on time-of-day, moon phases, and weather.

During the daytime with normal (sunny) weather, the catch rate for fish is low--it's not impossible to catch fish, but it will be fairly slow. The following modifiers affect this baseline rate:

  • Fishing during the night offers 4x slower catch rates than the day (except during the full moon).
  • Fishing during rain offers 2x catch rates, regardless of time-of-day.
  • Fishing during dusk/dawn offers 2x faster catch rates than during the day.
  • Fishing during the full moon offers 8x faster catch rates than the day (instead of the normal 4x slower rate).
  • The Fishing Rod has 32 durability.
