In its early stages, fishing felt like an extremely simplistic system, significantly different from the much more refined fishing system seen in modern versions of Minecraft.



Currently, fishing can give players a plethora of loot, each with its own set chance. Of this loot, some are more common than others, but as shown in this article, the exact distribution of such loot is probably not what players are expecting.

5 Rarest Items to Get in Minecraft Fishing

5) Enchanted Book

0,8% chance

Enchant books are some of the most valuable fishing items (

While not the rarest in terms of spawning chance, enchanted books remain one of the most valuable items one can obtain from fishing.

With a 0,8% spawn chance, the enchanted book might not be the rarest, but it's certainly nowhere near a commonly obtained item.

4) Stick

0,5% chance

Players have a 0,5% chance of getting a stick in fishing (

As is a trend with most of the items on this list, while loot is theoretically very rare to obtain from fishing, the items themselves are not difficult to obtain by other means.



With a 0,5% spawn chance, however, going fishing can be the hardest and most complicated method of getting a stick in all of Minecraft.

3) Rope

0,5% chance

String has a 0,5% chance of spawning (

While slightly more useful than a stick, players also have a 0,5% chance of getting a stick of rope while fishing.

Theoretically, this could be useful in game mode specific difficulties such as peaceful, where the rope is harder to find due to spiders not spawning.

2) Fishing rod

0,2% chance

There is a 0,2% chance for players to catch another fishing rod (

Getting a new fishing rod while fishing is in most cases a welcome surprise as it means players don't have to end their fishing session when the rod breaks.


With only a 0,2% chance of occurring, however, this outcome is not to be gambled and players should consider themselves extremely lucky if the Minecraft gods bless them with an extra rod.

1) Ink sack

0,1% chance

The 5 Rarest Fishing Items in Minecraft
Ink Bags are the rarest items to obtain in fishing, with a spawn rate of 0,1% (

The number one rarest item to obtain through fishing in Minecraft is the humble ink bag.


With only a minuscule 0,1% chance of being fished, one has to wonder why Mojang decided to allocate such a small chance of getting this item when it's also possible to simply kill a squid for a much higher drop rate.


Whatever the reason, players who are lucky enough to fish this item will find they receive 10 individual ink bags at a time.
