The video below is a good primer on how to construct what is commonly referred to “drop 2” and “drop 4” voicings. The name basically derives from the notes of a chord in closed position, or in other words, all of the notes of the chord are stacked on top of each other.
This technique involves taking the 2nd note from the top, and the 4th note from the top and dropping them down an octave. Keep in mind that this technique is one of many you should have in your arranging tool box.
This technique works for groups that have 5 voices (ideally), such as a small group consisting of tpt, alto, tenor, trombone, bari sax, or the five saxes in a big band.

Consider the following bullet points that refer to both important points included in this video lesson, and also points in general to consider.
Drop Biscuits
- Roots in voicings are not necessarily needed because the bass covers the root of the chord. Don’t waste that note unless you absolutely have to.
- In dominant 7th chords the 3rd and 7th is needed to define the chord. In Maj and 6/9 chords that are not necessarily needed to define the sound of the chord.
- Don’t solely rely on this technique, intermix with quartal voicings for Maj and 6/9 chords
- Always consider construction of voicings with individual lines in mind. Each musical line is more important than each individual vertical voicing.

- Step 1 – Start with the basic close position chord: Root – Third – Fifth – Seventh. Step 2 – Create a drop 2 chord by displacing the 2 (the second chord tone to appear in close position) up an octave, order is now: Root – Fifth – Seventh – Third. This process works the same for each inversion. Listed below are all the drop 2 inversions as well as close position chords for.

Usage[edit]
Ore[edit]
For coal ore, diamond ore, emerald ore, lapis lazuli ore, nether gold ore, and nether quartz ore, Fortune I gives a 33% chance to multiply drops by 2 (averaging 33% increase), Fortune II gives a chance to multiply drops by 2 or 3 (25% chance each, averaging 75% increase), and Fortune III gives a chance to multiply drops by 2, 3, or 4 (20% chance each, averaging 120% increase).
Generally speaking, Fortune gives a weight of 2 to a normal drop chance and adds a weight of 1 for each extra drop multiplier. In short, when an ore is mined, the chance for no bonus drops is
2/(Fortune Level+2)
and if a bonus is applied, there is an equal chance for any number of drops between 2 and Fortune Level+1
The formula to calculate the average drops multiplier is
1/(Fortune Level+2) + (Fortune Level+1)/2
, which means Fortune IV gives 2.67x drops on average, Fortune V gives 3.14x drops on average, etc.Ore | Drop | No Fortune | Fortune I | Fortune II | Fortune III |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Coal Ore | Coal | 1× |
(avg. 1.33× - +33%) |
(avg. 1.75x - +75%) |

Emerald Ore | Emerald | ||||
Nether Gold Ore | 2-6 Gold Nuggets | ||||
Nether Quartz Ore | Nether Quartz | ||||
Lapis Lazuli Ore | 4-9 Lapis Lazuli |
Discrete random[edit]
Glowstone, melons, nether wart, redstone ore, sea lanterns, and sweet berries use a discrete uniform distribution, meaning each possible drop amount is equally likely to be dropped. Fortune increases the maximum number of drops by 1 per level. However, maximum drop limitations may apply: glowstone has a cap of 4 glowstone dust, sea lanterns have a cap of 5 prismarine crystals, and melons have a cap of 9 melon slices. If a drop higher than these maximums is rolled, it is rounded down to the cap.
Grass and ferns[edit]
Grass and ferns have a fixed chance, unaffected by Fortune, to drop wheat seeds. If the drop occurs, Fortune increases the maximum amount of seeds that can be dropped by 2, by affecting a discrete uniform distribution.

---|---|---|---|---|---|

Seeds[edit]
Beetroots (seeds only), carrots, potatoes, and wheat (seeds only) use a binomial distribution. Fortune increases the number of tests for the distribution, and thus the maximum number of drops, by 1 per level.
The binomial distribution in the default case is created by rolling three times (n=3) with a drop probability of 57% (p=.57), creating the typical drop of 0-3 seeds. Carrots and potatoes modify this value by adding a few fixed drops.
Tabulated probabilities[edit]
Fortune increases the probability of flint dropping from gravel; saplings and sticks dropping from leaves; apples dropping from oak and dark oak leaves and gold nuggets dropping from gilded blackstone, and twisting vines and weeping vines dropping from themselves.

- ↑Levels of Fortune higher than III are unobtainable except by using commands.
Incompatibilities[edit]
Silk Touch and Fortune are mutually exclusive. If commands are used to apply both Silk Touch and Fortune to an item, the Silk Touch enchantment takes precedence over the Fortune enchantment for blocks affected by both enchantments.
