In order for players to fish, the player will need to create a fishing rod. Players may create a fishing rod out of opening the crafting box to the 3x3 crafting grid, then placing three sticks and two strings in the grid.

Players can fish anyway they like. Players may fish on a boat, standing in the water, or outside of the water. Players will need to cast their fishing line into the water, wait for something to get attached to it, then reel it back in.
