Does anyone else have this issue. I recently encanted my pickaxe and mined some diamonds and it was only 4 blocks of diamonds and it only gave 4 diamonds...whats the issue
I've had that happen both on the 360 and PC. As I understand it, Fortune only raises the maximum possible number of possible items from a single block, not the minimum as well. So if you use an unenchanted pickaxe, you'll get 1 item. With Fortune I, you'll get 1-2. FII will get you 1-3, and FIII will get you 1-4. Note that the lower number in all of these cases is 1. So, assuming you're using a Fortune I pick, you have a 1/16 chance of getting the result that you did. (still a slightly better chance than rolling 7 on two dice, though) With Fortune III, that would be 1/256. It happens.
Most of the time, you'll get multiple diamonds, just like most of the time, if you roll a couple of dice, you won't roll a 7. But once in a while you do, just like once in a while you roll 7. This time, it happened to you.
