↑ ^a ^b Enchantment probabilities are the same as a level-20 to level-39 enchantment would be on an enchanting table that had no cap at level 30, and that was able to apply treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst), and where the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.

Mob loot

[edit | edit source]

In Bedrock Edition, pillagers and vindicators have a chance of dropping a damaged iron pickaxe when killed during a raid. The pickaxe has a 50% chance of being enchanted with random enchantment(s).

In Bedrock Edition, wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop an enchanted iron pickaxe (available enchantments listed below) when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.

Trading

[edit | edit source]

Both toolsmiths and wandering traders can sell an enchanted iron pickaxe.

An iron pickaxe is used to break stone and metal-based materials faster. Breaking a block with an iron 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]

Iron pickaxes have a mining level of 2. An iron pickaxe or better is required to mine the following blocks:

Weapon

An iron pickaxe can be repaired in an anvil by adding iron ingots, with each ingot restoring 25% of the pickaxe's maximum durability, rounded down. Two iron pickaxes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the pickaxe's enchantments.
