Using the scientific method to prove del gobs don't work on fully maxed pickaxes.

I should probably be posting this in bug reports, but I spent too much time on this for it to only be seen by staff.

I've heard a lot about the del gobs not working on fully maxed pickaxe issue, so I decided to end it once and for all. As you can tell, I used the scientific method, Question, Research, Form a hypothesis, Experiment, Observe, Conclude and Communicate. The screenshots are unnecessary they're just proof of my claims, you don't need to open them if you don't want to.

An important thing to note is that this was done on the caramel realm

Question:
Do del gobs work on a fully maxed pickaxe?
Research: There are both believers and deniers of delgobs being broken on fully maxed
Hypothesis: Del gobs do not work on a fully maxed pickaxe
Experiment: Click on one block and hope that only explosive procs. Any time JH/Drill/Laser procs, throw the results out. Record the blocks sold.
  • Variables:
  • How much fortune the pickaxe had when mining
  • However many blocks explosive decides to break (relatively consistent)
Observation:
  • The first test: fully maxed no gobs
  • https://prnt.sc/scedlk
  • https://prnt.sc/sceecw
  • I got 10088 blocks sold on the first one and 10347 blocks sold on the second one. Pretty decent.
  • The second test: fully maxed tasty gobs
  • https://prnt.sc/sceerw
  • https://prnt.sc/scefa0
  • I only got 18644 on the first one and 19143 on the second one. Not that bad either but due to the variability of explosive these might've been on the lower side
  • The third test: fully maxed delicious gobs
  • Here's where my bug report actually starts, supposedly since tasty gobs give 2x and del gobs give 3x I should be getting at least 26000 on a bad break and closer to 30000 on a good break, right? Nope.
  • https://prnt.sc/scefw4
  • https://prnt.sc/scegl7
  • 23482 and 21754. You might say that I got really bad luck but I can assure you, when I first decided to test this before I started taking screenshots, I was getting some even in the 20000's, so I'd actually say the 23000 one is high. But according to reason (10000 * 3), it should average much higher.
  • Here's a screenshot of the pickaxe I was using for those tests. https://prnt.sc/scegzv

  • To prove that it wasn't the gobs broken but fortune itself, I decided to do the same tests with a super OP pickaxe. Here are the results:
  • The fourth test: super op no gobs
  • https://prnt.sc/scehup
  • https://prnt.sc/sceiic
  • 7191 and 6626, roughly what you'd expect after seeing those no gobs fully maxed results as super OP does have 7/10 of the fortune of a fully maxed
  • The fifth test: super op tasty gobs
  • https://prnt.sc/scemgi
  • https://prnt.sc/scen4m
  • 14821 and 14096, exactly what you'd expect after seeing the no gob results
  • The Sixth test: super op delicious gobs
  • After seeing what happened with the fully maxed + del gobs, I would expect to get only about 16000, but no I got reasonable results
  • https://prnt.sc/scel5i
  • https://prnt.sc/scelry
  • 19339 and 19252, a bit low considering what we got for the previous super OP tests, but still within an acceptable range. FAR from what was to be expected after seeing the fully maxed delgob run
  • Here's my pick: https://prnt.sc/sceo0m

  • Here's a story (except I don't have screenshots or video so you'll have to believe me !). I was mining with a 9x and a fully maxed, but nobody wants to waste delgobs on a 9x so I was only using tasty. I was getting 1.8T per autosell, actually really good. No lag or whatever, just a good mining strategy. Later on, I popped a 12x and decided to use some delgobs. I only made about 2.2 2.3T per autosell even though I had both a higher multiplier and a better candy. See a problem?
Conclusion: Delicious gobstoppers do not properly work on fully maxed pickaxes, only being a slightly longer lasting tasty gob.


Communicate: Again, I know this problem should be known but I've heard plenty of people denying it even exists and act like whoever brings it up is talking about bigfoot or something. "Fortune is a vanilla enchant how could it possibly be broken."

Even if it's not a bug with the server but minecraft itself I still believe that it should be fixed to actually give a proper 3x boost instead of the ****py 2x maybe 2.1x boost we see on fully maxed. I'm not even asking for the delgobs I wasted back, just for it to be fixed.

If you want to test this further I'd recommend using a fortune 200 pick without any explosive at all so all uncontrollable variables are eliminated.

Thanks for reading this, I did this all at 4am. Send help.
