About the Luck Effect
Luck improves your odds on luck-based loot tables, most noticeably better treasure rates when fishing.
How to Get Luck in Survival
In current Java Edition there is no survival source: no potion, food, or beacon grants Luck. It exists for commands and custom content, where map makers use it to tilt loot odds.
Using Luck Well
Do not confuse the Luck effect with Luck of the Sea, the fishing enchantment that actually improves fishing treasure odds in survival. The effect version is a command tool; the enchantment is the real-world equivalent.
