Lure

enchantments

Lure is an enchantment in Minecraft. It can be applied up to level 3.

Lure is a fishing rod enchantment in Minecraft that dramatically reduces fishing wait times, making it essential for efficient fishing sessions and food production. This time-saving enchantment decreases the wait time for bites by 5 seconds per level in Java Edition, significantly speeding up the fishing process for all players.

Available in three levels, Lure III provides maximum efficiency by reducing wait times by up to 15 seconds, transforming lengthy fishing sessions into quick resource gathering. Players can obtain Lure through enchanting tables, librarian villager trades, fishing for enchanted books, raid drops in Bedrock Edition, and various dungeon loot sources.

The enchantment functions differently between game versions: Java Edition focuses purely on reducing wait times without affecting catch types, while Bedrock Edition increases fish catch rates at the expense of treasure and junk items. Combined with Luck of the Sea, Lure creates the optimal fishing setup for both speed and treasure acquisition, making it invaluable for survival gameplay.
