Looting
Increases the quantity and rarity of drops when killing mobs with the enchanted sword. Each level raises the maximum drop count by 1 and increases the chance of rare drops (e.g., wither skeleton skulls, ender pearls).

Best uses
Essential for any mob farm or boss farming — equip before finishing off mobs to maximize rare drop rates. Looting III greatly improves wither skeleton skull farming, making it the fastest path to beacon crafting.
