Minecraft:Looting

Template:Dungeons hatnote Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox enchantment Looting is an Minecraft:enchantment applied to Minecraft:swords and Minecraft:spears that gives a chance to receive more item drops from certain mobs.

Obtaining

Looting can be obtained from Minecraft:enchanting tables, drops from mobs that have spawned in a Minecraft:raid,Template:Only books obtained by Minecraft:fishing, Minecraft:monster room chests, librarian Minecraft:villagers, and non-village Minecraft:structure loot.

Usage

Looting increases the maximum number of items for most common drops by 1 per level. Looting also increases the chance of Minecraft:rare drops and equipment drops by 1 percentage point per level.

Looting affects any kill that happens while holding the enchanted item in the main hand, not just any kill by the enchanted item.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> For example, a player can fire a projectile then switch to the enchanted item before the projectile reaches the target to get the Looting effect, hold the enchanted item while killing a mob with a ghast fireball, or fire a projectile from the off-handTemplate:Only while holding the enchanted item in the main hand. This allows Looting to work on Minecraft:arrows or thrown Minecraft:tridents, as long as the player is holding the Looting item when the arrow or trident lands.

Looting applies to mobs killed with a Minecraft:sweep attack.Template:Only

Using Minecraft:commands to get higher levels than III works as expected, adding higher numbers with a weight of 1. A mob always drops its naturally-spawned equipment at Looting level 92.
