Luck

This feature is exclusive to Java Edition. 

Luck is a status effect that makes it more likely to receive better loot from certain loot tables, contrary to Bad Luck.

Effect[]

Adds 1 × level to attribute generic.luck, making loot table entries with a high quality score more likely, and entries with negative quality less likely. It also increases the chances of bonus_rolls occurring. Currently, only fishing uses quality. The new weight of each entry is floor(base_weight + quality * generic.luck). Negative levels decrease luck.

Using a fishing rod enchanted with Luck of the Sea increases a player's generic.luck attribute, but doesn't actually grant the Luck status effect.

Causes[]

Immune mobs[]

While no mobs, except bosses, are immune to Luck, only players are actually affected.

		19w08a			Changed effect icon texture again.
		19w13a			Luck is now obtainable in survival mode as an arrow of luck is a reward item from fletcher villagers when the player has the Hero of the Village status effect.
