You need two water buckets, then make a 3x3 hole, maybe two blocks deep, and then fish will spawn.

How do you fish in Minecraft on an iPad?

Gabby

Go near some water and click the 'fish' button. When the bobber moves, click the 'fish' button again and you should get a fish.

Question

How many fish can you catch in a Minecraft day?

Community Answer

It is random. You can get a lot of fish or get a few or none. It's just like real life. You don`t get an exact amount every time unless you fish that amount of times with your fishing rod.

If you're on iPad or iPhone/iPod, "click" directly translates to "tap."

Question

How do you do this on a phone?

Community Answer

It's really the same thing. On the phone for survival it's the same, but on creative it's just finding a body of water and getting a fishing rod in the sword.

Question

How do I pick up a fish in the water to make a fish bucket? Each time I tap the fish, it takes damage.

Ashlyn Martin

Community Answer

Take a bucket, fill it with water, and then click the fish. Your bucket was empty, so it took damage.

Question

What is the name of the light blueish-light greenish fish showed in the picture for step #4? Is it just called "raw fish"?

Seasalt25

Top Answerer

The sprite shown in that picture is the old raw fish sprite that existed in versions 1.12 and below. As of the 1.13 aquatic update, the raw fish item no longer exists and instead has been replaced by raw cod, which is a tan fish sprite.

Question

Can I pet a puffer fish?

Jasper Riegels

Community Answer

Do not go close to a puffer fish, even if its still in the water. It will hurt you on touch. You could pick it up with a bucket though, and make a mote.

Question

How do you get an enchanted book with luck of the sea/unbreaking/lure fast without a enchanting table?

Vortrexion

Top Answerer

There are a few different options. You can always try to fish, and hopefully get a book or damaged fishing rod with these enchantments. Alternatively, you can look in dungeons, mansions, ocean ruins, mine shafts, or other naturally generated structures for an enchanted book.

Question

Can I fish a pufferfish?

Verin

Top Answerer

Yes, when fishing you have a chance to catch a pufferfish. In Java you can catch one anywhere, but in Bedrock, you can only catch them while fishing in jungles.

Question

What is the best enchantment in Minecraft?

StrangelyQuiet

Top Answerer

There are 3 main enchantments that you should probably use for making fishing easier: Luck of the sea: Increases the chance of gaining a 'treasure'; Lure: Reduces the time taken to catch a fish; and Unbreaking: Increases the durability of the rod.

Question

Do I have a better chance of catching something if I am fishing in a larger area of water like the ocean than a smaller area like a river?

Yes! Larger areas hold more fish: 25% chance of each kind of fish, 20% of junk, and 10% of finding enchanted items!

It is basically the same thing as mentioned above, but when you have a fishing rod in your hand, a fish icon will appear and press it to cast your rod.

Question

What is the chance of getting bones from fishing in Minecraft?

Community Answer

Unenchanted rod: 1.2% chance. Luck of the Sea 1: 1.0% chance. Luck of the Sea 2: 0.7% chance. Luck of the Sea 3: 0.5% chance. Bones are in the "junk" category, so a rod without Luck of the Sea has a higher chance of reeling in a bone.

When the bobber fully submerges, click again (same button you used to cast). You should reel something in.
