MCPE-28091Fortune III and Diamond Ore Imbalanced
In previous versions of Minecraft, Fortune III used on diamond ore could end up getting around 3-5 diamonds, maybe 6 if you're lucky. Now it's down to just 1, with 2 being lucky.

Was not experiencing this issue. Maybe you're running low on luck?
Doesn't appear to be just diamond ore. I'm getting low levels of coal from it as well. So I think it's the enchantment in general. I haven't tested it with emeralds, though. I can only assume the exact same thing will happen.
Per the Minecraft Wiki, the Fortune III enchantment will give an average of a 120% increase for Diamonds, Coal, etc. After performing a quick test in the latest version mining 128 each of Diamond and Coal ores I averaged 2.375 Diamonds per ore and 2.211 Coal per ore which both appear to be close enough to the 120% increase as to not require any further testing. Also, I have yet to ever get more than 4 Diamonds from one ore while using Fortune III.
