For the past two days, since the 1.3.1 update, I decided that I would start enchanting my tools a lot more since enchanting has become much easier. I have a stack of diamond ore laying around that I want to use a fortune III pick on, but I can never seem to get the enchant. I have easily used over 15 diamond picks and still no Fortune III enchant. I have gotten a lot of Unbreaking III, Efficiency IV, Fortune II, and Silk Touch I combination picks but no Fortune III. I always enchant my picks at Lvl.30. I tested for a Fortune III pick in creative and got it within a couple of tries. Not sure if this is an in-game problem or me just having bad luck :\ I just wanted to know if other people are having trouble getting this enchant in survival as well. Any replies would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Unfortunately, I have to say that this is merely bad luck on your part. Fortunately, I can say that this will have no impact on future enchantment attempts. Good luck!

That's wierd, The first pickaxe my friend enchanted on our server last night was fortune III, we enchanted at level 28 and managed to get it. good luck on your quest.
Thanks a lot guys for the feedback Unfortunately I am at around 25 diamond picks but still no Fortune III. Knowing my luck a Fortune III pick is a long ways away, but regardless I will keep on trying!
I doubt you want to hear this... but my first diamond pick (at lvl 3) was Unbreaking III, Efficiency IV, Fortune III.
And the kicker is I was sad because I wanted Silktouch.

I'd gladly trade you 10 Silk Touch diamond picks for your pickaxe
according to this there is a 19.4% chance of getting Fortune III on a diamond pickaxe at level 30 and the average number of tries before getting one is 5.2

I'm assuming you meant to type level 30 because that's not even possible to get at level 20.
I tested this a little but not much. Basically below 30 you get less and less of a chance of getting fortune 3. Bad luck on your part. It took me ten tries to get fortune 3, and countless hours...
Hmm.. Time to get out the Bottles of XP. I'll try my luck on 5 picks to try to get Fortune III.
Lvl 30 used each attempt.
Attempt 1 - Fortune II
Attempt 2 - Fortune II
Attempt 3 - No Fortune At all.
Attempt 4 - Still No Fortune.
Attempt 5 - Fortune III
Wow. 2 Fortune II, 2 No Fortune, And one Fortune III,
I lucked out.
I feel sorry for you D:

You wasted diamonds, as Feather Falling won't do anything if you hit the Protection damage reduction cap.
