Fortune too overpowered as of 21w14a

Hey Mojang! loving the cave update snapshots so far, however, as of 21w14a, the snapshot that made all ores "fortuneable", which we love, but it means the players only need to mine 20% of what they did before. I and many others are concerned about the impact on the game this will have, So we have a vital suggestion that we hope you will take into consideration.

possibly make fortune a rare and exciting item to find, as common items don't excite the player and overpowered items deserve to be rare. Possibly make it like mending, where you can only find it in chests. Mending can be obtained through villagers, but fortune could be a rare chest only find, that could be found in any structure where chests generate.

thank's Minecraft team for your time!

  I think this might just be too much. The powers of Fortune as of this snapshot were just made consistent and fair. If you think about it, it was very odd and unfair that we couldn't Fortune metal ores before. This hasn't really messed with the powers of Fortune, it just made it fair in my opinion. However, yes, enchantments (and magic) as a whole need to get rarer and more valuable, though this might be something for the near future.

  I think it would be a good idea to instead of making fortune more difficult to obtain make it multiply differently with each ore.

  (for example maximum and more consistent double drops for fortune 3 with iron ore, but keep all existing settings the same)

  Fortune is a relatively "endgame" enchantment.

  Actually we only need to mine about 75% of what we did before. Remember you can already use fortune on coal, lapis, emerald, quartz, diamond, and nether gold.

   

  I agree that some enchantments should be switched to treasure (infinity, channeling, multishot, silk touch) but fortune just isn't one of them.
