Usage
[edit | edit source]Mining
[edit | edit source]A stone pickaxe is used to break stone and metal-based materials faster. Breaking a block with a stone pickaxe consumes one use (one durability point). No durability is consumed for blocks that have a hardness value of 0, such as torches and flowers.
Mining level
[edit | edit source]Stone pickaxes have a mining level of 1. A stone pickaxe or better is required to mine the following blocks:
Iron Ore
Copper Ore
Lapis Lazuli Ore
Deepslate Iron Ore
Deepslate Copper Ore
Deepslate Lapis Lazuli Ore
Block of Copper
Block of Raw Copper
Block of Iron
Block of Raw Iron
Block of Lapis Lazuli
Cut Copper
Cut Copper Slab
Cut Copper Stairs
Lightning Rod
Weapon
[edit | edit source]All pickaxes have an attack speed modifier of -2.8, meaning they take about 0.85 seconds to recover. Stone pickaxes do 3HP damage per attack, or 3.6 damage per second.
All pickaxes attack instantly, with stone pickaxes doing 4HP damage per attack.
Repairing
[edit | edit source]Combining
[edit | edit source]| Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Damaged Stone Pickaxe | The durability of the two pickaxes is added together, plus an extra 5% of durability. |
| Ingredients | Grinding recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2x Damaged Stone Pickaxe | The durability of the two pickaxes is added together, plus an extra 5% of durability. |
Anvil repair
[edit | edit source]| Ingredients | Anvil recipe |
|---|---|
| Damaged Stone Pickaxe + Cobblestone or Blackstone |
A stone pickaxe can be repaired in an anvil by adding cobblestone, cobbled deepslate, or blackstone, with each block restoring 25% of the pickaxe's maximum durability, rounded down. Two stone pickaxes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the pickaxe's enchantments.
Enchantments
[edit | edit source]A stone pickaxe can receive the following enchantments:
| Name | Description | Max Level | Method | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Efficiency | Increases the mining speed. | V | 10 | |
| Fortune[note 2] | Increases the amount of drops when mining. | III | 2 | |
| Silk Touch[note 2] | Causes blocks to drop themselves when mined. | I | 1 | |
| Unbreaking | Grants a chance to negate durability consumption. | III | 5 | |
| Mending | Repairs the pickaxe when obtaining experience. | I | 2 | |
| Curse of Vanishing | The pickaxe vanishes on death, not dropping as an item. | I | 1 |
