Item data is used to determine the durability of the pickaxe. If using the <code>/give</code> [[Commands|command]], this can be specified using the third parameter. Positive integers are how much durability the pickaxe has taken away from full durability, and negative integers are how much durability the pickaxe has left. For example, the command <code>/give wooden_pickaxe 1 10</code> gives one wooden pickaxe with ten durability taken away from full durability.

Usage

Mining

Pickaxes are used to mine stone related blocks and ores. These blocks that pickaxes mine faster would usually not drop if not mined with one. Successive types include the abilities of previous ones but can mine faster, and give the player the ability to collect drops from some blocks.

Note:

  • Bedrock cannot be broken by any means in Survival mode.
  • Some blocks drop nothing even with a diamond pickaxe, such as the mob spawner.


Pickaxes have different durability depending on which tool material they were made out of. The greater the tier the greater the number of blocks it is able to mine.

Pickaxe Material Uses Speed Breaks without dropping Breaks faster Collects
Wooden pickaxe
 Wooden planks 60 Slowest Iron, lapis, redstone, obsidian, topaz, ender gem. Glowstone, odd rock ore, bone block. Stone/cobblestone (dropping cobblestone), coal ore, sandstone, enderstone.
Stone pickaxe

Iron pickaxe
 Iron ingot 251 Fast Obsidian Glowstone, odd rock ore, bone block, stone/cobblestone (dropping cobblestone). Lapis lazuli ore, redstone ore, gold ore, diamond ore, ender gem ore. It can break anything but obsidian.

Diamond pickaxe
 Diamond 1562 Second fastest (All possible collectable blocks are collected) Fastest possible speed for everything Can mine obsidian, as well as all other blocks(apart from bedrock)

Weapon

Pickaxes can be used to deal more damage than by hand, however they deal less damage than a sword or axe tool of the same material and use up two durability points when used to do damage to a mob.

Enchanting

Pickaxes can be enchanted directly through the enchantment table.

Enchantments applicable to pickaxes include:

*Note: Silk touch and fortune are mutually exclusive.
