Maximize Ore Drops with Collection and Reforge Enchantments
Understanding Collection Enchantment
The Collection enchantment transforms how ore drops work. When applied to a pickaxe, it automatically organizes ore drops into full ingots or materials rather than raw ore nuggets. This saves inventory space and streamlines your mining workflow, especially when gathering large quantities of ore.
Using Reforge for Bonus Loot
The Reforge enchantment adds two powerful mechanics to pickaxes:
- Smelting Effect: Ore automatically smelts as you mine, giving you finished ingots directly
- Bonus Loot: Increases the amount of resources dropped per ore block
Combining Reforge with Collection creates an efficient mining setup where you gather fully processed materials without manual smelting.
Finding These Enchantments
Both enchantments can be discovered through standard enchanting tables or found on loot pickaxes in structures. Prioritize applying them to your primary mining tool to maximize efficiency during deep mining expeditions. These enchantments work across all ore types, making them valuable throughout your entire playthrough.
