Yes, but not in the way you might think. A Fortune enchanted axe does not make a tree drop extra logs. That’s the big secret that trips up most folks.
See, wood is a block that only drops one log, no matter what. Even with Fortune III, you chop a tree and get exactly one log per block. So if you’re hoping for a double-stack of oak from a single tree, you’ll be disappointed.
But hold on—don’t toss that enchanted axe into the lava just yet. Fortune does something even better for your daily grind.
It’s all about the other stuff
Think about apple pie. You want apples, right? A Fortune axe makes leaves drop apples way more often. Without enchantment, you’re lucky to get one apple from a whole forest. With Fortune III, you can fill your inventory in minutes.
The same goes for sticks and saplings. If you’re a builder who loves replanting your forest, Fortune on your axe means you’ll never run out of saplings. It’s like having a tiny green thumb in your tool belt.
And let’s not forget the random chocolate chip in life—like getting a free cocoa bean from jungle leaves. Fortune makes those happy accidents happen a lot more often.
