Frequently asked questions

How do I get Fortune in Minecraft?

Hold a compatible item and run /enchant @p minecraft:fortune 3 (Java) or /enchant @p fortune 3 (Bedrock). Alternatively, use the /give command above to spawn a pre-enchanted item directly into your inventory.

What is the max level of Fortune?

The maximum level is Fortune III (level 3). Using /give you can technically set any integer, but levels above 3 don't add further benefit in most cases.

Does the Fortune command work in Bedrock Edition?

Yes. On Bedrock use /enchant @p fortune 3 while holding a compatible item. Bedrock omits the "minecraft:" namespace prefix.
