Maximizing Deepslate Ore Loot with Fortune

Because Deepslate Dubble Mod doubles the drops of deepslate ores and stacks with the Fortune enchantment, combining both mechanics gives you significantly larger resource hauls from deep mining trips.

Preparing a Fortune Pickaxe

1. Set up an Enchanting Table surrounded by bookshelves, or combine enchanted books on an Anvil, to apply Fortune to an Iron, Diamond, or Netherite Pickaxe.

2. Optionally add Efficiency and Unbreaking to offset the tougher hardness of deepslate blocks during long mining sessions.

3. Bring a secondary Silk Touch pickaxe if you want to save inventory space while exploring deep caves.

Harvesting Deepslate Veins

1. Explore deep caves or strip-mine in the deepslate layer to gather target ores.

2. If you mined the deepslate ore blocks using Silk Touch during your trip, place those intact deepslate ore blocks back down in a safe area at your base.

3. Switch to your Fortune-enchanted pickaxe and break all the deepslate ore blocks.

4. Collect the multiplied drops. Because the mod's doubled deepslate yield combines directly with the Fortune effect, every block broken produces noticeably more loot than applying Fortune to regular stone ores.

Save rare deepslate veins like diamond, emerald, and lapis lazuli by marking their coordinates or harvesting them with Silk Touch until you have your highest tier of Fortune ready.
