Minecraft players can use fishing as a technique to get cool items in the game without having to craft or hunt. Players will need a fishing rod and a body of water for this activity.

Players can create a fishing rod using one stick and one string in the crafting menu. Players can also obtain enchanted fishing rods by trading with villagers. It is recommended that players use an enchanted fishing rod when fishing for good items.

Using the luck of the sea enchantment, players can pull better loot from fishing. Fishing with a regular fishing rod can grant the player some good items but using luck of the sea increases the chances of getting rare items.

Players can either pull "junk" items from fishing or "treasure." Treasured items are the better items, and Luck of the sea increases the chances that players will get these items instead of the junk.
