Before going further with the process on how to make a fishing pole in Minecraft, there are of essential items required on that process. These items are: bait, fishing pole and fishing reels. Those things are important since they can be sold in the auction house when you are done fishing. Below is a list of the other materials that are also required when you want to learn how to make a fishing rod in Minecraft.
To make the fishing pole- you need to put 1 stick into the middle of the third box on the right side of the inventory screen. Right click the stick, so that it will move and place it where you want. You can then pull the stick out through the hole that you made, by putting a lever on the left side of the pole. The lever will cause a lever that does not allow you to pull the fishing pole out any further. Put the other end of the stick through the hole on the other side of the third box.
Fishing rods can only be crafted in one direction using two fishing poles- If you want to change the direction you are facing, you have to remove and put two fishing rods onto the slots of the crafting bench. Once you place two poles, pull the levers and pull the sticks out through the holes on the opposite sides of the inventory panel. You can place one stick on each of the slots and pull all the fishing rods at the same time.
When you are done using your fishing rods- put them back in the crafting area, so that they are face up. When you are next going to use them, place two planks on the slots of the fishing pole. Then pull up on both sticks and pull out the fishing rods. If you use the sticks in a straight line, then you will create a 90 degree angle. If you use an angled line, then the angle increases until you get to a circle.
The last step on how to make a fishing rod- in Minecraft is to use two strings of wool together and place them onto the planks. Pull the two strings and place them around the entire base of the pole. If you do not have enough wool, you may use the dispenser by using it as well. This will help you make up enough wool to place three sticks in an angle, which makes for a very sturdy foundation. If you want to strengthen your foundation more, then you may place another two strings on top and two more sticks in a circle at the bottom part of the pole.
After completing this method- you will be asked to insert one of your fishing rods into the wooden planks. To do this, you will have to first make sure that the wooden planks are positioned accurately with regards to each other. Then, you will simply use your crafting table in order to place the wooden planks in the holes in the middle of the platform. For this last step, I recommend that you place a lever on the side of the platform.
So that you can pull the lever to lower the center of the wooden planks when the fishing rod is inserted into it. These are the tips on how to make a fishing rod in Minecraft.
