Minecraft player attempts to launch into space using 32 fishing rods

Minecraft players try all kinds of crazy experiments in the sandbox game. Since it offers loads of items and blocks with different properties and features, it keeps players busy for hours. The fishing rod is an item that not only helps players catch fish and other stuff from water bodies but it can also be used to catch entities and pull them inward.

Using the entity-pulling aspect of fishing rods, a player attempted a bizarre stunt.

Minecraft Redditor launches themselves into space using 32 fishing rods

A Redditor by the name of "Mahtog42" posted a video where they showcased 32 bots spawning in a world around the player with fishing rods. The bots caught the player with their fishing rods and started climbing vines located on all four sides of the player. They reached a platform where all of them could stand, with the hook still on the player.

The original poster explained that the game takes the boat as a non-living entity and does not apply the same gravity as to a living entity like the player.
