Enchanting Bug

[domainoft 191]

Had someone make me a Diamond Pick with Fortune I, Tested it on several bits of redstone and coal and it only drops the same amount of material as my normal un-enchanted pick.

 

Tried it approx 4-5 times on coal and redstone. Got 1 coal per block, and 5 redstone each time with either pick. Maybe there is some other hidden benefit to fortune like higher casket drops....but that would be difficult to prove I think, and OOC nor forum searching yielded any results like that for me.

 

Thanks!

 

PS this isn't a complaint in any way, just a sticky note. Everything else has worked beautifully so far.

Sooo lots of views but no comments? Is there a purpose for the enchant if it doesn't do anything?

I believe there is a problem with the "fortune" enchant as I have used a "fortune" pick many times to mine coal and the such that it would effect and I haven't gotten any more then a none "fortune" pick.

In my personal experience with the enchant, It does not produce an increase number of drops from ores (Coal, Redstone, Lapis, etc.), But seems to increase the chance of getting a random drop from mining stone (Glowstone, chests, lapis, etc).

 

I think they wanted to do it that way, to reduce the chance of flooding of items, but I do not know....

This is all speculation.
