How Does Lure Work in Minecraft

Enchanting in Minecraft is one of the key factors to success, which enables players to upgrade their tools and weapons. Enchantments strategically help players overcome mining, fishing, or fighting against some of the deadliest mobs in the game. Of these, one would certainly want to apply to a fishing rod is the Lure enchantment. Lure reduces the time between bites when fishing, shaving it significantly and thus making the process faster and more fun. Level three is the highest possible upgrade for the Lure enchantment. Each level decreases the bite time by 5 seconds, so a fully upgraded lure can decrease the time of a catch from the regular 30 seconds to only 15 seconds. But how to get the Lure Enchant? This guide will show you how.

How to Get the Lure Enchantment in Minecraft

There are two major ways through which you can enchant your fishing rod with Lure in Minecraft:

Enchanting Table:

Use 15 surrounding bookshelves around the Enchanting Table to maximize the level of enchantments available.

Lapis Lazuli for resource to power the enchantment.

Place your fishing rod and Lapis Lazuli together on the Enchanting Table.

The outcome will be randomly selected, but since there are very few enchantments that can be added to a fishing rod, you most definitely will get Lure.

Lure Enchanted Book:

Get a Lure Enchanted Book: You can get them from the following places: 

Fishing: Casting your rod and hoping for a magical catch

Exploring Chests: You can find them in treasure chests while exploring dungeons, villages, and other generated structures.

Mob drops: Kill mobs which may drop the enchanted book.

Villager trading: Sell emeralds to a Librarian Villager for the book.

Break and then combine with fishing rod: Now that you have the Lure Enchanted Book, use an Anvil to combine it with your fishing rod. This guaranteed method will apply the Lure enchantment to your rod.

With the Lure on your fishing rod, it makes your rod a lot more efficient. Casting it into the water will drastically reduce the time you have to wait around for a catch and turn this previously leisurely action into much more productivity. Where once you would have spent 5 to 30 seconds between bites, now you will be finding yourself reeling in fish or other items at a much faster rate. This comes in especially handy when someone needs to maintain a supply of fish or if he simply wants to speed up the process.

To give you more advantage in fishing, and to get those treasured loots and Enchanted Books, consider parrying it with Luck of the Sea. Another great enchantment all on its own, the Luck of the Sea enchants increase the quality of what you are catching. This can really make a difference with these two together in your fishing success.

Install both Lure and Luck of the Sea on a fishing rod, and you'll not only catch fish more quickly but also increase your chances of catching rare and valuable items. This makes the activity of fishing within Minecraft more rewarding and exciting.
