Each time you cast your fishing rod out onto the water, there's a chance of getting something pretty exciting. Here are the 5 rarest items that you can acquire from fishing in Minecraft.

#5. Enchanted Book - 0.8% Chance

For every time you cast your fishing rod, there's a 0.8% chance that there's an Enchanted Book at the end of the line. The odd is slim, but the reward is huge. On your lucky day, may even reel in a Mending Enchanted Book, which contains the best armor enchantment in Minecraft entire game.

Catching a fishing rod means you can continue fishing for longer and get more loot from the water. However, with such a slim chance, you won't likely be running into a spare fishing rod any time soon.

If you need one, just make a fishing rod on your own with simple steps.
