Fortune Ancient Debris Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything to enable this mod or does it work automatically?
The mod works automatically once installed—Ancient Debris will start dropping Netherite Scraps instead of blocks without any configuration needed. If you want to customize behavior, check the mod's config file, though the default settings match vanilla mining mechanics.
How much more Netherite Scrap do I get with Fortune III compared to no enchantment?
Fortune III significantly increases your scrap drops from Ancient Debris, scaling the same way Fortune affects Diamond Ore in vanilla Minecraft. The exact multiplier depends on your mod version, but higher Fortune levels always yield more scraps per block.
Can I still get Ancient Debris blocks instead of scraps?
Yes—use a pickaxe with Silk Touch to mine Ancient Debris and it will drop as a block instead of scraps. This lets you collect blocks for building or transport them elsewhere before breaking them down.
Does Fortune work on Ancient Debris in the vanilla way or is it different?
This mod makes Ancient Debris behave like Diamond Ore, so Fortune works the same way—each level increases your chances of getting extra scraps. It's no longer a flat 1 scrap per block like vanilla.
What pickaxe do I need to mine Ancient Debris with this mod?
You still need a Diamond or Netherite pickaxe to mine Ancient Debris; the mod only changes what drops, not the tool requirement. Any pickaxe strong enough for vanilla Ancient Debris will work.
Can I combine Silk Touch and Fortune on the same pickaxe?
No—Silk Touch and Fortune are mutually exclusive enchantments in Minecraft. You'll need two separate pickaxes: one with Silk Touch for collecting blocks, and one with Fortune for maximizing scrap yields.
Is this mod compatible with other mods that change Netherite or mining?
Most mods work fine together, but conflicts can occur with mods that heavily modify Ancient Debris or Fortune mechanics. Check the mod's compatibility notes or test in a world if you're using multiple mining-related mods.
Does this mod affect performance or cause lag?
No—this mod is lightweight and only changes drop behavior, so it has minimal performance impact even on large servers or in heavily modded setups.
If I break Ancient Debris with my bare hand or wrong tool, what happens?
Ancient Debris still requires the proper tool to drop anything, just like in vanilla—breaking it without a Diamond or Netherite pickaxe yields nothing.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, the mod works on servers—install it on both the server and client, and all players will see the same Fortune-affected scrap drops from Ancient Debris.
