	“	Pickaxes, or picks, are probably the tool that people use the most in Minecraft. You’ll need one to mine stone and ores, as well as to break objects like furnaces, anvils, and iron bars. It’s often the first tool that people make in the game, out of two sticks and three bits of wood. Don’t pretend the recipe isn’t burnt into your brain.	„
		— Duncan Geere^[1]

Pickaxes are one of the most commonly used tools in the game, being required to mine all ores, rock, rock-based blocks and metal-based blocks. They allow the player to mine blocks at faster speeds, and the speed increases depending on the material it is made out of.

Obtaining[edit]

Crafting[edit]

Pickaxes are crafted using 2 sticks and 3 units of tool material.

Ingredients	Crafting recipe	Description
Any Planks or Any Cobblestone or Blackstone or Iron Ingot or Gold Ingot or Diamond + Stick
Matching Damaged Pickaxes		The durability of the two pickaxes is added together, plus an extra 5% of the tool type's total durability.

Upgrading[edit]

Ingredients	Smithing recipe
Diamond Pickaxe + Netherite Ingot	Upgrade Gear

Repairing[edit]

Grinding[edit]

Ingredients	Grinding recipe	Description
2x Damaged Wooden Pickaxe or 2x Damaged Stone Pickaxe or 2x Damaged Iron Pickaxe or 2x Damaged Golden Pickaxe or 2x Damaged Diamond Pickaxe or 2x Damaged Netherite Pickaxe		The durability of the two pickaxes is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.

Unit repair[edit]

Pickaxes can be repaired in an anvil by adding units of the tiers' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the pickaxe's maximum durability, rounded down.

↑ ^a ^b ^c ^d Enchantment probabilities are the same as a level-20 to level-39 enchantment would be on an enchantment table that had no cap at level 30, and that was able to apply treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed), and where the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.
↑ ^a ^b All enchantments are equally probable, including treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed), and any level of the enchantment is equally probable.

Trading[edit]

In Bedrock Edition, novice-level toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell stone pickaxes for one emerald, Journeyman-level toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell enchanted iron pickaxes for 3 emeralds, and master-level toolsmith villagers always sell enchanted diamond pickaxes for 13 emeralds.

In Java Edition, novice-level toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell a stone pickaxe for one emerald, journeyman-level toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell an enchanted iron pickaxe for 7–22 emeralds, and a master-level toolsmith always sells an enchanted diamond pickaxe for 18–35 emeralds.

The enchantments are the same as the ones obtained from an enchantment table at levels 5–19.

Usage[edit]

Mining[edit]

A pickaxe is used to break stone and metal-based materials faster. When a block is broken using a pickaxe, the pickaxe uses 1 durability. For blocks that break instantly, it uses 0 durabilities. Pickaxes have different amounts of uses based on the type:

Wooden: 59
Stone: 131
Iron: 250
Golden: 32
Diamond: 1561
Netherite: 2031

Different qualities of pickaxe are required to successfully harvest certain ores and blocks. For example, while stone can be mined with any pickaxe, gold ore must be mined with an iron, diamond or netherite pickaxe, or else the player harvests no ore. Different pickaxes also mine many materials at different speeds:

Speed[edit]

The following table shows the time it takes to break each type of block.

A red background indicates that the block cannot be harvested with that type of pickaxe.
A yellow background indicates that the block cannot be harvested with that type of pickaxe, but still drops something.
A green background indicates that the block can be harvested with that type of pickaxe.

↑ The dragon egg can be mined directly only when there aren't any air blocks available for it to teleport to. However, the dragon egg can be collected by other means.
↑ Chemistry tables are slow to break by hand, similar to blocks that require a pickaxe to mine. However, they still drop as items.

Weapon[edit]

Hitting a mob with a pickaxe is a stronger attack than using fists. Pickaxes lose 2 durability when used as a weapon.

Java Edition[edit]

Pickaxes have an attack speed modifier of −2.8, meaning they take about 0.83 seconds to recover. All pickaxes have an attack speed of 1.2 hits per second. They deal different damage based on the type:

Pickaxe type	Attack damage	Damage per second (DPS)
Wooden Pickaxe	2	2.4
Golden Pickaxe	2	2.4
Stone Pickaxe	3	3.6
Iron Pickaxe	4	4.8
Diamond Pickaxe	5	6
Netherite Pickaxe	6	7.2

Bedrock Editions[edit]

In Bedrock Edition, pickaxes always attack instantly and do the following damage:

Pickaxe type	Attack damage
Wooden Pickaxe Golden Pickaxe	2
Stone Pickaxe	3
Iron Pickaxe	4
Diamond Pickaxe	5
Netherite Pickaxe	6

Enchantments[edit]

A pickaxe can receive the following enchantments:


Name	Max Level
Efficiency	V
Fortune^{[note 1]}	III
Silk Touch^{[note 1]}	I
Unbreaking	III
Mending^{[note 2]}^{[note 3]}	I
Curse of Vanishing^{[note 2]}	I

↑ ^a ^b Fortune and Silk Touch are mutually exclusive.
↑ ^a ^b Only available using enchanted books and an anvil, or by finding an enchanted pickaxe in an End city chest.
↑ Silk Touch lessens the effectiveness of the Mending because harvested ores do not give experience points.

Fuel[edit]

Wooden pickaxes can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1 item per wooden pickaxe.

[enchant-with-levels-20-39-2] Enchantment probabilities are the same as a level-20 to level-39 enchantment would be on an enchantment table that had no cap at level 30, and that was able to apply treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed), and where the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.

[enchant-randomly-3] All enchantments are equally probable, including treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed), and any level of the enchantment is equally probable.

[breakingtimenote-4] Times are for unenchanted tools in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.

[5] The dragon egg can be mined directly only when there aren't any air blocks available for it to teleport to. However, the dragon egg can be collected by other means.

[Chemtable-6] Chemistry tables are slow to break by hand, similar to blocks that require a pickaxe to mine. However, they still drop as items.

[note1-7] Fortune and Silk Touch are mutually exclusive.

[anvil-8] Only available using enchanted books and an anvil, or by finding an enchanted pickaxe in an End city chest.

[mending-9] Silk Touch lessens the effectiveness of the Mending because harvested ores do not give experience points.
