Shovels

Shovels are tools used for excavating faster than with bare hands or other tools. They exist in five tiers: wood, stone, iron, gold and diamond. They are important to excavate gravel in caves to prevent suffocation. You can dig dirt, gravel, and sand with a shovel.

Types

• Wooden shovel - Most basic type. It mines 60 blocks.
• Stone shovel - It mines 132 blocks. (much better, fast replenishable, average speed)
• Iron shovel - It mines 251 blocks. (Last worth shovel possible)
• Gold shovel - It mines 33 blocks. (Mines at fastest possible speed but has 30 uses though and is not worth spending 1 gold ingot on. Use the gold to make a Golden Apple instead).
• Diamond shovel - It mines 1562 blocks. (You can make a diamond sword instead of this shovel, because you will spend on swords, pickaxes, armor etc.)

All types of shovel can mine the following blocks faster than with the hand: Dirt (mycelium, farmland, etc), sand, snow, clay, and gravel
