What Are Enchantments In Minecraft?
Enchantments enhance tools, armor, and weapons with special bonuses. For example, Feather Falling on Boots reduces fall damage. Most enchantments have power levels; higher levels increase effects. Feather Falling IV offers the greatest 48% fall damage reduction.
Upgrading enchantments requires Experience, obtained from various activities like defeating mobs, mining, and trading. You need an enchanted item. The Enchantment Table or Anvil with Enchanted Books is used. The Anvil allows combining multiple enchantments for added power.
That’s potentially how you get the best armor in the game to equip, as well. There are certain incompatibilities, however, to look out for when you’re merging enchantments. For instance, the Infinity enchantment that lets you shoot unlimited arrows from the crossbow cannot be used in combination with Mending.

Here’s a breakdown of how Fortune works at each level and how to acquire it:
- Max Level: Fortune III
- Description: Increase the chances of item drops as well as the number of item drops.
- Buffs:
- Fortune I: 33% chance increase for item drops.
- Fortune II: 70% chance increase for item drops.
- Fortune III: 120% chance increase for item drops.
How to Acquire:
- Fishing: You can obtain enchanted books through fishing, including the Fortune enchantment.
- Trading with a Villager: Some villagers, particularly Librarians, may offer enchanted books for trade. Keep trading until you find one offering Fortune.
- Looting Chests: Fortune enchanted books can sometimes be found in dungeon chests, temple chests, or stronghold libraries.
- Enchantment Table: You can enchant tools, weapons, or armor with Fortune using an enchantment table. Combine lapis lazuli with your tools and place them on an enchantment table along with the required experience levels.
Eligible Tools:
- Pickaxe
- Hoe
- Axe
- Shovel
Usage:
- Fortune increases the yield of certain blocks when mined, such as ores and other valuable resources.

How To Obtain Fortune In Minecraft
The Fortune enchantment can be obtained in multiple ways. We will cover each of them in detail so you can be flexible with your options and choose which option to choose.
- Fishing: While fishing, there’s a chance you may catch an enchanted book containing the Fortune enchantment. However, this method has a low chance of success, so it’s not the most reliable way to obtain Fortune.
Fishing for Fortune - Trading With a Villager: Look for Librarian villagers in villages, as they have a higher chance of offering enchanted books as trades. Keep trading with them until you find one offering the Fortune enchantment.
Trading for Fortune With a Villager - Obtaining Through Chests: Explore the world and search for loot chests, as they sometimes contain enchanted books with the Fortune enchantment. Ordinary chests are your best bet for finding Fortune, but it’s still a rare enchantment to come across.
Fortune III in a Loot Chest - Enchantment Table: Utilize the Enchantment Table to enchant your tools, weapons, or armor with Fortune. Surround the Enchantment Table with bookshelves to enhance enchantment results, especially for Fortune. Make sure you have enough experience levels and lapis lazuli to perform the enchantment.
