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 the way tools and other damageable items do. With a base durability of 64 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted to extend its working life before it breaks. This item was added to the game in the 1.0 full release.
In this database, Fishing Rod sits alongside 34 other Tools entries, each with its own page. 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, which together can dramatically change how it performs.
