Stone drops Ores

Stone Drops Ores

Get a chance to find extra metal resources while mining stone and deepslate. Normal block drops are preserved.

Stone Drops Ores only adds iron nuggets, gold nuggets, raw iron, raw copper, and raw gold as bonus drops. It does not add bonus diamonds, redstone, lapis lazuli, or any other resources.

Drop Chances

Bonus Drop · Stone · Deepslate
Iron Nugget · 2.5% · 5%
Gold Nugget · 1.25% · 2.5%
Raw Iron · 0.75% · 1.5%
Raw Copper · 1.75% · 3.5%
Raw Gold · 0.25% · 0.5%

Each bonus drop is rolled independently, so a single block can drop multiple types of bonus resources.

Fortune and Silk Touch

Bonus drops require a pickaxe. Any vanilla pickaxe works, including wooden and golden pickaxes.

Fortune increases the amount received from each successful bonus roll using Minecraft’s standard ore drop formula:

Enchantment · Items per Successful Roll
No Fortune · 1
Fortune I · 1–2
Fortune II · 1–3
Fortune III · 1–4

Fortune does not change the drop chances. Higher amounts are possible, but not guaranteed.

Mining with Silk Touch does not produce bonus drops.
