What is a Fishing Rod Used For?
A fishing rod helps you catch fish and items (like strings or herbs) in the game. It’s upgraded from a basic stick to a more powerful rod, and it’s perfect for earning resources, food, or even trading with villagers!

To craft a fishing rod, you’ll need:
2 Sticks (from wood planks, sticks, or cobblestone)
1 String (crafted from 3 Strongs or gathered from sheep)
1 Gold Ingot (for the Golden Fishing Rod, optional)
How to Get These in Minecraft (Indian Edition Tips):
Sticks: Break wood or cobblestone with a pickaxe, then craft sticks at a workbench.
String: Shear sheep (right-click) or craft it using 3 Strings.
Gold Ingot: Dig up gold veins (rare but worth it!) or craft it from gold ore.
