[MCPE-67169] Fortune enchantment no longer works

The fortune enhancement is not working properly on any of my pickaxes after the most recent update. I've tried it on all the ores that it would multiply the drop but I consistently get a single piece as if I was using an unenhanced pickaxe.

Steps to Reproduce:

Obtain a pickaxe.
Enchant the pickaxe with Fortune.
Place a line of ores that should be affected by Fortune.
Mine the ores using the Fortune pickaxe.

Observed Results:
The drops are not multiplied.

Expected Results:
The Fortune enchantment should have a chance to multiply the drops.

There are also reports that Fortune III on a shovel does not always drop flint from gravel, where it did in prior versions.

William Jacob Haire 2020-04-04T13:35:59Z

I am experiencing this also, happened to me last night, could’ve had way more diamonds because I have 38 ore and only got 38 diamonds with Fortune III

Thomas DeRosa 2020-04-04T17:50:57Z

This has been happening to me as well i tested on all ores and I consistently only get 1.

geedes araujo s. junior 2020-04-05T17:39:23Z

I have the same issue on my world, android version.

Matti K 2020-04-05T19:10:01Z

I'm on Xbox One in Beta 1.16.0.55. And this bug is very annoying, after realizing when I mined all my 54 ores and only got 54 diamonds...

I can confirm this on beta 1.16.0.55 for Windows 10, shovel with fortune 3 doesn't drop flint from gravel, even though it has 100% chance of dropping it

shay wilson 2020-04-05T22:37:13Z

I did some testing if it's helpful. Ores that without fortune return more than one like lapiz and redstone seem to still have increased yield when you use fortune. Ores that only return one without fortune (Diamond, Coal, Quartz, and Emerald) only return one for one for all levels of fortune (not just fortune III). Seems unrelated to tool material.

Austin Workman 2020-04-05T22:50:18Z

This happens to me in bedrock beta 1.16.0.55 aswell. Made a tower of 19 diamond ore moned with silk touch. And mined all 19 with a fortune 3 diamond pick. Only to get 19 diamonds in return.

Andy Bonner 2020-04-06T02:54:56Z

Same for me. Beta 1.16.0.55

Bubba Doodah 2020-04-06T06:50:32Z

On Windows 10 PC, v1.16.0.55 Beta,, when mining diamonds; a fortune 3 pickax doesn't drop any additional diamonds.

Katie Lill 2020-04-06T19:37:41Z

Happening on windows 10 for me too! Very frustrating

Jason Hight 2020-04-06T20:07:51Z

Experiencing the same on Win 10. No difference if the ore was first collected with silk touch or mined in place.

Dex 2020-04-07T09:29:59Z

Sometime when you enchant with enchanting table fortune work but after Repairing or adding enchantment through the anvil fortune 3,2,1 not work in Android beta version 1.16.0.55

Norbert Irmer 2020-04-07T17:07:50Z

Same as Pedro, much less then 100% flint drop from gravel, makes trading flints with villagers impossible

tryashtar 2020-04-07T17:15:51Z

Please refrain from commenting unless you have new information to add from now on. It's clear that this issue affects everyone on the beta.

manit 2020-04-10T11:41:10Z

way too frustrating I lost around 27 diamond blocks......

robert walters 2020-04-12T04:01:49Z

Its not working on any picks i.e wood stone iron ect. Any word on this being patched?

Lyndis Mikyoko Lawrence 2020-04-13T08:08:23Z

it isnt working right now in 1.16.55,so save your diamond blocks with silk touch until they fix this bug people!

Matt Lents 2020-04-15T22:40:32Z

Issue persists in 1.16.0.57

Carlos Jimenez 2020-04-19T20:27:12Z

The same here Windows 10 version and 1.16.0.57

Norman Wilson 2020-04-21T05:40:59Z

Doesn't work properly for me either. I collected 4 stacks + 34 of redstone ore, mined it all, and only got 4 extra in total.

Matt Lents 2020-04-22T17:42:33Z

Issue persists in 1.16.0.58

Xyurfire 2020-04-22T18:03:11Z

still in 1.16.0.58

Reese Collins 2020-04-22T19:06:06Z

Hard to believe that this bug has been ignored for two updates.

Earl Borah 2020-04-22T20:26:56Z

Reese: Not that hard to believe. I haven't been able to play for a week, as the last beta broke Minecraft so bad the game wouldn't start on my Windows 10 or Android devices. If they prioritized fixing that over fixing gold smithing or fortune working, then I applaud them. If the beta is a problem, you can always quit the beta and go back to a release version where fortune works.

robert walters 2020-04-23T02:08:14Z

It has now been nearly a month and two updates! Whats going on with this issue? All the beta devs are so silent about it. Is it harder to fix then were assuming? This is a core part of survival minecraft! I feel as if this is being put to the wayside. Dissapointing.

Paul Alberto Blanchet Carrillo 2020-04-23T19:14:16Z

I'm on version 1.16.0.58 and the fortune enchantment doesn't work

Stuart Lombard 2020-04-24T00:49:44Z

I have this problem too.

Ayyoob Ceres 2020-04-24T15:11:35Z

It's still being ignored after THREE updates!

Nicholas A Mattes 2020-04-24T16:04:56Z

Everyone complaining that this isn't fixed yet remember that this is a BETA program, so there are going to be bugs. The point of a beta isn't so that you get access to new features sooner, it is so that the bugs that come with the new features can be fixed for full release. A solution I have for everybody is to SILK TOUCH all of the ores that you can use fortune on and then fortune them when this issue eventually fixed, and if you can't be that patient then there is a simple solution: LEAVE THE BETA

Bree Green-Hayes 2020-04-24T18:26:02Z

It still doesn’t work and I’m very sad

jeffrobintolentino 2020-04-25T12:12:29Z

i don't think you know how hard it is to fix this kind of bugs you may think that this bug was on 1.16.0.55 next update it'll be fixed, no. and I don't think this will be fixed soon so if you find a diamond ore silk touch it or save it's coordinate as simple as that, you don't have to whine for it to be fixed, they're already tracking this

robert walters 2020-04-26T18:29:03Z

How hard is it to fix? Jeff you seem to have a computer science major with a back round in game devolping and coding! Please enlighten us our lord and savor jeff. Whats the approximate amount of time to fix an enchantment not working jeff? Ill just assume since the people who make mods for the game can add new enchantments in just a few hours that it isnt that hard. They just dont care.

Katie Lill 2020-04-26T18:49:51Z

Hey Robert - relax, adapting something that is already there is simpler than rewriting the script for another. It could be that a crucial part of the game working has become tangled up within that script... who knows - I’m not an expert but I know these things aren’t always so simple... I agree with Jeff that there are so many new comments and complaints about it, but whining will not get it seen to any quicker - we have a work around solution - silk touch - it’s not ideal but for now, we can deal with it - they clearly do care otherwise they wouldn’t bother updating the game for us - take a breath man, it’s a tricky time in the world... they’re probably understaffed at the moment too - funding might be an issue in the current climate, who knows - but I’m sure they’re doing their best. Patience is a virtue.

William Fulton 2020-04-26T19:04:39Z

Robert, this is a beta. The purpose of this beta is to introduce new features for the Nether Update. That means the priority is the Nether Update related stuff. Everything will be fixed before the final release, but you are using a BETA. So chill or move off the beta. Vitriol isn't going to change anything.

Dylanthalus 2020-04-27T18:25:53Z

Mined 14 diamond ore blocks with Fortune 3 diamond pickaxe (also had unbreaking 3 and efficiency 4). Received 11 diamonds... from 14 blocks... with a fortune 3 pick.

Olivia Velarde 2020-04-27T19:33:04Z

made a little clip of this in action. i broke 18 coal ore blocks, and only received 21 coal with my Fortune III pick.

Arnav Kumar 2020-04-28T02:05:08Z

Same, im playing on Xbox One Beta and it doesn't drop extra diamonds with fortune 3.

Christopher Ryan Scott 2020-04-28T23:05:51Z

i am more concerned about the fortune enchantment not working for my farms at the moment. usually i use my fortune 3 axe to gather crops since it yields double to triple. i figured this out earlier when i realized none of my villagers were restocking their supplies. i had a few diamond tier farmers i'd buy golden carrots from for a food source, but they no longer restock for some reason; there was also about 3 to 4 times as many farmers with a 0 tier than there should have been. most of my villagers in the upper village had already been traded with before and upgraded, especially farmers, librarians, tool smiths, weapon smiths, and armor smiths. none of the upgraded ones are restocking and i'm not even going to try to get the stuff to trade with them if fortune isn't working. i understand that overcrowding may be an issue for their restocking and a village redesign is probably necessary... but most of my good villager trades are not even there anymore. its like the villagers died, or reset to 0 on xp. they should not have died, because they're on a lighted mountainside and have 4 golems inside, and 5 golems outside, plus the upper mountain is completely lit to stop mob spawning, and there's plenty of cats in the village to deter phantoms (which don't attack them anyways).

on top of fortune not working and villagers seemingly resetting or disappearing and not restocking, i'd like to know why my raid farm converted general mob farm pushes mobs out the kill chamber. just had to repair it from a creeper blast yesterday, and baby zombie spider riders also get out very often.

Has everyone voted on this issue?

CeruleanDerpo 2020-04-30T16:00:32Z

Fixed on latest 1.16.0.59 beta

Katie Lill 2020-04-30T16:22:08Z

Fixed on which platform? Only xbox? Or Windows 10 too? Thanks

Nathan Robert Campbell 2020-04-30T17:04:40Z

It's been fixed! 🙂

itszelace 2020-04-30T17:55:07Z

Yay! Nice work!!

Gegham Zakaryan 2020-05-01T13:42:43Z

Mind your words, you ARE on the beta on your OWN WILL. If you registered for the beta it means you understand the risks and are mature enough to not blame others. So, just stop using the beta if you can't appreciate it.

IonicEcko 2020-05-01T14:41:29Z

Hi @unknown,

Please keep comments on the JIRA respectful and related to the bug report. I understand how frustrating it can be to lose a world to corruption but being disrespectful isn't going to help.

There are sometimes ways to recover world files that won't load and someone on the Community Support Discord (linked below) may be able to help.

As an overall tip though, always keep copies of your worlds before participating in BETA's (and even when you're not). While BETA's can seem like a cool way to get new features before release, you are opting into an unfinished version of the game that, by definition, have bugs and other issues. They're designed for testing, not using as your primary worlds.

All the best in getting your world back and any future Minecraft adventures.

Is this Bug fixed in Android version??

Dario Gava 2020-05-02T09:11:21Z

I have this problem in 1.16.0.59 on Android

IonicEcko 2020-05-02T09:32:52Z

Hi Dario,

Can you elaborate? We've done testing with numerous people and have been unable to replicate it on 1.16.0.59 on Android.

How did you test it? Are you able to provide video?

Ionic

Dario Gava 2020-05-02T10:25:08Z

No, because sometimes he gives me a diamond, for example, and sometimes he gives me 3 diamonds.

Abhishek Nair 2020-05-02T10:39:25Z

Dario, it works now.You aren't supposed to get 3 diamonds every time you use the fortune 3 pickaxe.
