==Types==
+
=== Repairing ===
Successive types include the abilities of previous ones but can mine faster.
+
Two pickaxes of the same material can be combined in the crafting grid to combine their durability. This can also be done through use of the [[anvil]], to preserve enchantments.
 
 
===[[Wood]] (planks)===
 
Collects: rock/cobblestone (as cobblestone), coal, sandstone, coral, end stone.
 
 
 
Has faster speed: glow stone, odd rock, bone.
 
 
 
Breaks: netherrack, iron, lapis, redstone, obsidian, topaz, ender gem.
 
  
60 uses.
+
== Usage ==
:The only pick craftable without prior tools. Fine for rocks, but don't use on some ores or you'll lose them.
+
=== 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.
  
===[[Stone]] (cobblestone)===
+
Note:
Collects: netherrack, iron, topaz.
+
* [[Bedrock]] cannot be broken by any means in Survival mode.
 +
* Some blocks drop nothing even with a diamond pickaxe, such as the [[mob spawner]].
  
Has faster speed: glow stone, odd rock, bone, rock/cobblestone (as cobblestone), coal, sandstone, coral, end stone.
 
  
Breaks: lapis lazuli, redstone, diamond, obsidian, ender gem.
+
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.

Pickaxes are a type of tool required to obtain stone related blocks and to mine ores.

Obtaining

Natural Generation

Wooden pickaxes with full durability can be found in 52.2% of bonus chest in stacks of 1.

Stone pickaxes with 20-50 damage can be found in 52.2% of bonus chests in stacks of 1.

Stone pickaxes with 50-100 damage can be found in 21.8% of loot chests in stacks of 1.

Crafting

Pickaxes are crafted using three tool materials and two sticks.

Tool material Tool material Tool material
Empty Stick Empty
Empty Stick Empty
Pickaxe

Repairing

Two pickaxes of the same material can be combined in the crafting grid to combine their durability. This can also be done through use of the anvil, to preserve enchantments.

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
Cobblestone 130 Second slowest Lapis lazuli ore, redstone ore, gold ore, diamond ore, ender gem ore Glowstone, odd rock ore, bone block, stone/cobblestone (dropping cobblestone), coal ore, sandstone, enderstone. Iron ore, coral
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.
Gold pickaxe
Gold ingot 33 Fastest Same as the iron pickaxe Same as the iron pickaxe Same as the iron pickaxe
Diamond pickaxe
Diamond 1500 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
