To survive in the wild, the player will have to put in a lot of effort. Apples are good, of course, but such a diet in the world of Minecraft won't lead to anything good. To gain more HP, you need more substantial food.

Fishing in games has a special atmosphere. The sound of water, peace, and quiet — it's a true paradise. Just don't stay until sunset, or you might become a snack! Of course, you'll need a fishing rod for this. Let's make one together.

You won't find durable and lightweight plastic in the cubic world, so we'll use wood. The player can't make a rugged item from a log, so the character needs to get sticks. Sticks drop from trees and can also be crafted using a crafting table. You only need 2 wooden planks.

Now, either we start hitting the water with a stick hoping to stun the fish or we look for a line. Naturally, we choose the second option. You'll need cobwebs. The hero won't have to search for spiders for long since they appear at night or inhabit dark caves. To create a fishing rod, you'll need 2 strings.

To improve the item, use an enchanting table or find enchanted books. Here are the enchantments we recommend:

  • Luck of the Sea III — catch more rare items!
  • Lure III — fish bite much faster.
  • Mending — experience gained from fishing repairs the rod.
  • Unbreaking III — gives durability to the tool.

Now you're ready to go on so-called relaxation. See you by the rivers and lakes. Good luck!
