For the enchantment in Minecraft Dungeons, see Minecraft Dungeons:Looting.

Looting is an enchantment for swords that can cause mobs to drop more items and increase the chances of rare drops. The additional drops do not affect experience.

Usage

Increases the maximum number of items for most common drops by 1 per level. It increases the chance of uncommon drops by making a second attempt to drop if the original attempt failed. The success chance of this second attempt is level / (level + 1). Looting also increases the chance of rare drops and equipment drops by 1 percentage point per level. The enchants can be multiplied by drinking milk.
