Although different people may have different opinions on Minecraft, there is no denying that it provides a fun experience to players as it has various things. One of the things that provide fun is fishing. Fishing enables players to obtain valuable items and gather food. Since the standard fishing rod is not good enough to catch treasure, it is essential to use the right enchantment to increase your chances.

While players can use the fishing rod to catch fish, enchantment takes this experience to a new level. Rod enchantment in Minecraft increases your chances of catching rare items, enchanted books, and gathering food. It also increases the bite rate and allows for self-repair of your rod. Enchanting fishing requires players to have Enchanting Tables with bookshelves and Fishing Rod. Whereas Enchantment Table is a bit difficult to make as it requires diamonds, obsidian, and a book, Fishing Rod only needs stick and string to make.

In this review, we explore the best Minecraft fishing rod enchantments.

Luck of Sea is an exclusive enchantment to fishing rod that any dedicated player must have in Minecraft. It increases players' chances of getting treasures by 2% per level. These include saddles, enchanted books, rare items, and name tags. On the other hand, it helps in decreasing your chances of catching junk by 2% per level and fish by 0.15% per level. 

This is the ideal enchantment for looking for treasure. Its highest level is the Luck of the Sea III, which increases the chance of finding the treasure by a big margin.

Unbreaking

Unbreaking is among the versatile Minecraft fishing rod enchantments that prolong the fishing rod's lifespan. This rod enchantment ensures the fishing rod lasts longer, limiting frequent repairs and replacements. Therefore, it is crucial to have the unbreaking enchantment for sustainability and cost-effectiveness purposes. This reduces the impact of the rod's wear and tear, especially during intense fishing sessions.

It would be best if you strived to keep your fishing rod in top shape for a long time. This is only possible with Unbreaking Enchantment, as it increases your chances of catching rare items plus treasures and maximizes your fishing efforts. Using Unbreaking enchantment means you have many more opportunities to obtain food, treasures, and junk.

Lure

All fishing rod enchantments, except Lure Enchantment, are meant for weapons. This enchantment is made for the Fishing Rod to increase its bite rate. To achieve this, it reduces the wait time for a fish to appear by approximately 5 seconds per level. On the flip side, if the level of Lure Enchantment is increased by more than 5 seconds, the fish will never appear as the wait timer never begins.

You can enchant your rods up to Lure III, as this increases the fish bite rate of the hook. This allows you to catch a large amount of fish quickly. The Lure Enchantment is an ideal way to ensure you always have enough fish supply that can be caught quickly.

Mending

This enchantment lets you repair your fishing rod as you catch fish. This enables you to fish without any interruptions. Mending I is regarded as one of the best fishing rod enchantments in Minecraft. As you gather experience (XP) orbs, you restore the rod's durability. Therefore, a fishing rod enchanted with Mending may never break.

Mending can turn a single fishing rod into a food-gathering machine as often as possible. It can also allow the fishing rod to get a wide variety of other items.

Curse of Vanishing

Although it serves no practical purpose regarding fishing rod, Curse of Vanishing can be fun to use against friends. This Minecraft Enchantment causes items to vanish after the player dies. They do not drop to be recollected like other items normally do. This enchantment is a curse and occupies the 5th spot, as only five enchantments can be placed on the fishing rod.

Resource gatherers, treasure hunters, or those looking to enjoy the peacefulness of fishing can make the most out of these Minecraft's enchantments.
