Overview
Fishing Rod is a tool in the Tools category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it, fishing (as treasure), and mob drops (Drowned). It cannot be stacked, so each Fishing Rod occupies a full inventory slot on its own. With a base durability of 64 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted.
Its 64-point durability sets how many actions it survives before breaking, and pairing it with Unbreaking multiplies that effective lifespan while Mending repairs it from collected experience. Fishing Rod additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Warped Fungus on a Stick. When enchanted, it can carry 5 different enchantments, including Lure, Luck of the Sea, Unbreaking, and Mending. Of the 2 kinds of generated chest that can hold it, small underwater ruin chests are the best bet at about 42% per chest.
