Looting III does not affect Salmon and Fish mobs. This is inconsistent with the standard behaviour of Looting with the standard drop table not being multiplied. In particular, a chicken is affected by looting, which like fish drops a single item representing itself (raw chicken) when slain using a weapon not enchanted with looting, yet drops multiple when using a weapon enchanted with looting. Using an already established mob that has drop mechanics near identical to fish with the exception of a second drop, fish should behave the same, but do not.
The issue in quesiton may be reproduced as so:
Step 1: locate, or for the purposes of testing, produce a salmon or cod alongside a chicken as a control variable.Step 2: Using a sword enchanted with Looting I, II, or III, slay both creatures and retrieve their drops.
Step 3: Note the differences in drops over multiple tests. One fish will produce one fish consistently, but one chicken may produce from 1-4 whole raw chickens (alongside feathers, which are irrelevant for testing purposes).
Note: The attached image is a test done using a looting 3 diamond sword against four salmon and four chickens.
Additional: it has come to my attention that the behaviour of rabbits matches those of chickens in dropping one of itself unless looting is applied. This means that there is an in game trend of animals dropping one item has an exception allowing the drop of more than one only with looting. This further proves fish mobs have inconsistency and therefore bug like behaviour
Can confirm experienced on unmodified multiplayer server with unmodified clients on snapshot 21w10a with two players and low latency.
Reproduction steps:
1. Create new world
2. Gather materials for a stone pickaxe in survival (Two sticks and three cobblestone)
3. Craft a stone pickaxe, ensuring that it is shift clicked to send it to inventory
4. Use the pickaxe, either by moving it around in the inventory or mining a block with it. The advancement will only trigger then.
