Fishing Rod

Fishing Rods are tools that are mainly used for obtaining fish.

Crafting
A fishing rod can be crafted from three sticks and two pieces of string. This makes fishing rods a renewable resource.

Fishing
Enchanted fishing rods can be obtained as a "treasure" item from fishing, and unenchanted ones as a "junk" item.

Usage
Fishing rods can be enchanted with Lure or Luck of the Sea.

Fishing
The fishing's rod main use is for fishing.

Hooking entities
The fishing rod can be used to hook mobs and other entities, which drags them towards the player at a fast rate. This counts as an attack, so entities will react as if attacked, but it causes no actual damage by itself. Secondary damage can come from fall distance if the entity is hooked from sufficient height (though some mobs do not take fall damage). Enemies can also be dragged into lava. Reeling in while hooked to an entity will cost 3 points of durability. Endermen and ghast's fireballs can be hooked with the fishing rod.

The fishing rod can be used to grab onto boats and minecarts and pull them towards the player, but a boat will often break in the process. The hook can also be used to activate wooden pressure plates or even knock down paintings from a distance.

Using a fishing rod while in a minecart aimed at the minecart's front wall will cause the minecart to stop immediately and the player to exit it. No damage is done to either player or cart.

Other uses
Use on villagers will lower the player's popularity and cause any naturally-spawned iron golem nearby to attack. Players cannot be pulled in PvP.

 * If you stand directly in front of a column and cast your line onto a block above you, the line will fall downwards.
 * If the bobber hits a painting, the painting will break.
 * If you cast the line into an End Portal, the line and bobber will disappear.
 * The player can get into bed after casting a line, and the line will remain in the water till the player wakes up and reels it in.
