Fortune is an enchantment applied to tools that gives a chance to receive more item drops from certain blocks.

Fortune can be obtained from enchanting tables, drops from mobs that have spawned in a raid,‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]} books obtained by fishing, librarian villagers, and in the following structures loot chests: desert pyramids, strongholds, ocean ruins, mansions, pillager outposts, ancient cities, End cities, mineshafts, monster rooms, jungle pyramids, and from vaults in trial chambers.

Note: the correct tool is not needed.

For coal ore, diamond ore, emerald ore, lapis lazuli ore, iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, Nether gold ore, Nether quartz ore, and amethyst clusters, Fortune I gives a 33% (¹⁄₃) chance to multiply drops by 2 (averaging 33% (¹⁄₃) increase), Fortune II gives a chance to multiply drops by 2 or 3 (25% (¹⁄₄) chance each, averaging 75% (³⁄₄) increase), and Fortune III gives a chance to multiply drops by 2, 3, or 4 (20% (¹⁄₅) chance each, averaging 120% (1¹⁄₅) increase).

Generally speaking, Fortune gives a weight of 2 to a normal drop chance and adds a weight of 1 for each extra drop multiplier. In short, when an ore is mined, the chance for no bonus drops is and if a bonus is applied, there is an equal chance for any number of drops between 2 and

The formula to calculate the average drops multiplier is , which means Fortune II gives 1.75x (1³⁄₄) drops on average, Fortune III gives 2.2x (2¹⁄₅) drops on average, etc.

Creaking hearts, glowstone, melons, Nether wart, redstone ore, sea lanterns‌^{[Java Edition only]}, and sweet berry bushes use a discrete uniform distribution, meaning each possible drop amount is equally likely to be dropped. Fortune increases the maximum number of drops by 1 per level. However, maximum drop limitations might apply: glowstone has a capacity of 4 glowstone dust, sea lanterns have a capacity of 5 prismarine crystals, and melons have a capacity of 9 melon slices. If a drop higher than these maximums is rolled, it is rounded down to the capacity.

Short grass and ferns have a fixed chance, unaffected by Fortune, to drop wheat seeds. If the drop occurs, Fortune increases the maximum number of seeds that can be dropped by 2, by affecting a discrete uniform distribution.

Beetroots (seeds only), carrots, potatoes, and wheat (seeds only) use a binomial distribution. Fortune increases the number of tests for the distribution, and thus the maximum number of drops, by 1 per level.

In Java Edition, the binomial distribution in the default case is created by rolling three times (n=3) with a drop probability of 57% (p=⁴⁄₇), then an additional seed is added, creating the typical drop of 1-4 seeds.

In Bedrock Edition, the drop is also rolled three times with a probability of 53% (p=⁸⁄₁₅), without the additional seed.

Potatoes and carrots use a binomial distribution, where each level of Fortune increases the number of tests for the distribution, and thus the maximum number of drops, by 1 per level.

In Java Edition, two carrots or potatoes are always dropped. Then further drops are generated by the binomial distribution, which in the default case is created by rolling three times (n=3) with a drop probability of 57% (p=⁴⁄₇), creating the typical drop of 2-5.

In Bedrock Edition, the initial drop of carrots or potatoes is generated as a number from 1 to the level of Fortune plus 1, according to a discrete random distribution. Then, further drops are generated by the binomial distribution, which in the default case is created by rolling three times (n=3) with a drop probability of 53% (p=⁸⁄₁₅), creating the typical drop of 1-4.

Bedrock Edition

Fortune increases the probability that flint drops from gravel, saplings and sticks drop from leaves, apples drop from oak and dark oak leaves, gold nuggets drop from gilded blackstone, and twisting vines and weeping vines drop as items.

Silk Touch and Fortune are mutually exclusive. If commands are used to apply both Silk Touch and Fortune to an item, the Silk Touch enchantment takes precedence over the Fortune enchantment for blocks affected by both enchantments.
