Minecraft: How Does Lure Work

Enchantments are special items that players can use to make their tools and weapons more powerful in Minecraft. Whether players want to mine, fish, or fight deadly Minecraft mobs, enchantments can give them an upper hand.

Lure is a widely used Minecraft enchantment for fishing rods. It helps you catch fish faster by reducing the time it takes for fish to bite, which ultimately makes fishing easier and quicker. You can upgrade your Lure Enchantment up to level three. Each level reduces the bite time by 5 seconds. Usually, it takes up to 30 seconds to catch something in Minecraft, but a fully upgraded level three Lure can bring that time down to 15 seconds. If you don’t know how to get the Lure Enchantment in Minecraft, this guide is here to help.

How to Get the Lure Enchantment in Minecraft

You can enchant your fishing rod with Lure in Minecraft in one of these two ways:

• An Enchanting Table
• The Lure Enchanted Book

Enchanting Table can be a good way to enchant your fishing rod with Lure Enchantment. In this method, you need to surround the table with 15 bookshelves and have some Lapis Lazuli ready. Then, place your fishing rod and Lapis Lazuli on the table to start the enchanting process.

The table gives random enchantments, so you might not get Lure on your first try, but since there aren’t many fishing rod enchantments, you have a good chance. If you don’t have the Enchanting table, you can check out this guide.

The other option is finding a Lure Enchanted Book. Minecrafters can get this book by fishing, finding it in chests, as a drop from mobs, or trading with a Librarian Villager. Once you have the book, combine it with your fishing rod using an Anvil. This method guarantees that you’ll get the Lure enchantment on your rod.

How Does Lure Work in Minecraft

Once your fishing rod is enchanted, just use it like normal by casting it into the water. This will reduce the time it takes to catch a fish, so instead of waiting five to 30 seconds, you’ll catch fish or items much quicker. This can be really useful if you want to catch a lot of fish quickly.

To increase your chances of getting treasures and enchanted books while fishing in Minecraft, you can combine the Lure with the Luck of the Sea Enchantment.
