Does Fortune 3 work on shovels?

Yes, Fortune III works on shovels in Minecraft, primarily by guaranteeing a flint drop (100% chance) every time you mine gravel, making it excellent for flint farms, though it doesn't increase drops for other shovel-mined blocks like clay or dirt. While you can get extra items with Fortune on other tools like pickaxes, for shovels, its main utility is for efficiently gathering flint for arrows or trading with fletchers, as it changes gravel drops from a chance to a certainty.

What is the best enchantment for shovels in dig?

The best enchantments for the shovel would be Efficiency, mending and unbreakable. These are really good enchantments that are universal on all weapons and tools. I would not waste enchantments on tools unless you are doing adventure mode as a shovel is a tool that you just do not use that much.

What's the fastest shovel in Minecraft?

The fastest shovel in Minecraft is a Netherite Shovel with an Efficiency V enchantment, making it capable of instantly breaking (instamining) most dirt/sand/gravel blocks, while a Golden Shovel is surprisingly fast for dirt but less durable; the key is maxing out the Efficiency enchantment on the best material. For ultimate speed, combine Efficiency V with Haste II (from beacons) and the fastest base material (Netherite or Gold) for dirt-like blocks, or even use a modded shovel for fun, but vanilla speed relies on these enchants.

Can you combine Fortune and Silk Touch?

No, you cannot combine Fortune and Silk Touch on the same tool in vanilla Minecraft because they are mutually exclusive enchantments; they serve opposite purposes (more drops vs. getting the block itself), and if forced with commands, Silk Touch always wins, meaning you'll get the block, not multiplied items. To use both effects, you need two separate tools, or use mods like Merge Enchantments that allow combining incompatible enchantments.
