MCPE-172622Harvesting Sweet Berries with Fortune enchantment
Harvesting Sweet Berries with Fortune enchanted tools does not yield an increase in item drops. I have done quite a few tests harvesting ("Use" button) and also mining ("Mine" button) rows of 64 Sweet Berries.
... extensive testing...
(Steps to Reproduce) In a Creative Flat world, commands such as...
/fill ~1 ~ ~ ~1 ~ ~63 dirt
/fill ~1 ~1 ~ ~1 ~1 ~63 sweet_berry_bush ["growth": 3]
... will produce a row of 64 mature Sweet Berry bushes on dirt blocks in front of the player.
As far as I am aware, harvesting most crops (including Nether Wart) with Fortune tools will give an increase in drops, acknowledging that Wheat and Beetroot only increase the seed drop rate. I would expect to see the same 50-150% increase when harvesting Sweet Berries.
From my tests, harvesting (Use action, not mining/breaking bush) 64 mature Sweet Berry bushes showed no increase in drop rate with Fortune enchanted tools over unenchanted/empty hands:
| Tool | avg. Berry drops |
|---|---|
| Bare/Empty Hand | 2.5 |
| Shears | 2.5 |
| Pickaxe w/ Fortune 3 | 2.5 |
| Axe w/ Fortune 3 | 2.5 |
| Hoe w/ Fortune 3 | 2.5 |
| Sword w/ Looting 3 | 2.5 |
At the previous "third stage" of berry bush growth (Age: 2), there is still no increase in drops when harvesting with Fortune enchant:
| Tool | avg. Berry drops |
|---|---|
| Bare/Empty Hand | 1.5 |
| Pickaxe w/ Fortune 3 | 1.5 |
Mining the mature Sweet Berry bushes (bush is destroyed), revealed different results:
| Tool | avg. Berry drops |
|---|---|
| Bare/Empty Hand | 2.5 |
| Pickaxe w/ Fortune 3 | 2.8 |
| Sword w/ Looting 3 | 2.5 |
This very small 15% increase in drops while destroying the bushes with Fortune 3, is a very poor return, where I now have to replant the berries to grow more, effectively only returning around 1.8 avg. drops.
Thankyou for your consideration.
Next day edit:
Thinking about it overnight, I conducted more testing today:
| Tool & Method | avg. Berry drops |
|---|---|
| Empty hand, harvested | 2.5 |
| Pickaxe w/ Fortune 1, harvested | 2.5 (0% increase vs. unenchanted) |
| Pickaxe w/ Fortune 2, harvested | 2.5 (0% increase vs. unenchanted) |
| Pickaxe w/ Fortune 3, harvested | 2.5 (0% increase vs. unenchanted) |
| Empty hand, mined | 2.5 |
| Pickaxe w/ Fortune 1, mined | 2.625 (5% increase vs. unenchanted) |
| Pickaxe w/ Fortune 2, mined | 2.75 (10% increase vs. unenchanted) |
| Pickaxe w/ Fortune 3, mined | 2.875 (15% increase vs. unenchanted) |
For comparison, I tested other crops:
The following crops are harvested by mining the block/plant, which is where the Sweet Berries are different.
| Crop | Tool | avg. item drops |
|---|---|---|
| Carrots | Empty hand | 2.375 |
| Carrots | Pickaxe w/ Fortune 3 | 6 (≈150% increase vs. unenchanted) |
| Potatoes | Empty hand | 2.625 |
| Potatoes | Pickaxe w/ Fortune 3 | 6 (≈130% increase vs. unenchanted) |
| Melons | Axe, unenchanted | 5 |
| Melons | Axe w/ Fortune 3 | 6.3 (≈25% increase vs. unenchanted) |
| Nether Wart | Empty hand | 3 |
| Nether Wart | Pickaxe w/ Fortune 3 | 4.3 (≈43% increase vs. unenchanted) |
