    His question was with different fortune levels how many diamonds he would get ;p


    Anyways Fortune 1 gives you more than one diamond but you have a 33% chance of getting 2 and that's the max you're gonna get with Fortune 1. Fortune 2 is gives you an extra 2-3 (25 or 50% chance can't remember correctly) and Fortune 3 is the max; the probability of getting more is even higher (e.g. 3 or 4 adds an extra 20%). Basically the higher the Fortune level the higher the chance you will get more than 1 drop :p

    Hope this Helps :D

    Mining with fortune 3 is a whole different ball park dude. It makes it so hard for me to start a fresh world and play without it.

    Diamond and Emerald ores don't spawn from the cobblestone generator FYI

    Fortune 3 is definitely better than fortune 1, and will let you get significantly more diamonds on average.

    If you have some spare time to mess around, use commands to make a fortune 1000 diamond pickaxe in a test world. No, the fortune calculation does not appear to have a cap. Yes, you can crash things with this.
