How to Get Fortune

Obtain using Enchanting Tables

The most common way to obtain Fortune is through an Enchanting Table. You'll need XP and Lapis Lazuli to enchant an item.

Use Bookshelves to increase enchantment levels

Placing bookshelves around the Enchanting Table will increase the possible enchantment levels of an item. There must be one block of air between a bookshelf and the Enchanting Table for this to work.

Obtain by Fishing

Fishing - Minecraft
Head out into open water and use your Fishing Rod to catch items with Fortune enchantments. The Luck of the Sea enchant will increase your chances of catching enchanted items.

Loot from Chests

You'll find Fortune in Treasure Chests in structures and dungeons around the world. Make sure you're properly equipped with armor and weapons since these areas will be infested with Mobs.

Trade with Villagers

You'll be able to trade items with villagers to obtain Fortune. Librarians will be your best bet since you can trade Emeralds for enchantments even at Novice levels.

You'll have to level up other Villager types to obtain their enchanted stock.

How to Use Fortune

Mine More Rare Resources

Fortune - Minecraft Enchantment
If you need to gather more of a certain item, the Fortune enchantment can speed up this process by dropping even more resources after mining a block. To make the most of this enchantment, prioritize using this when mining rare blocks such as Diamond Ores.

While you'll get more drops, keep in mind this does not affect the experience gained from them.

Cannot be Combined with Silk Touch

Keep in mind that you cannot use Fortune and Silk Touch on the same tool.
