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 matching pickaxes 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.

Here are all the pickaxes in order of how many blocks they can mine. While the golden pickaxe is the fastest, there are some blocks it can't mine, which only the diamond pickaxe can mine.

Pickaxe Material Speed Breaks without dropping Breaks faster Collects
Wooden pickaxe
Wooden planks 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 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 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 Fastest Same as the iron pickaxe Same as the iron pickaxe Same as the iron pickaxe
Diamond pickaxe
Diamond 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)

Durability

Pickaxes have different durability depending on which tool material they were made out of.

Pickaxe Name Uses
Gold pickaxe
Golden pickaxe 33
Wooden pickaxe
Wooden pickaxe 60
Stone pickaxe
Stone pickaxe 130
Iron pickaxe
Iron pickaxe 251
Diamond pickaxe
Diamond pickaxe 1500

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.
