A golden shovel is a variant of shovel that is crafted from gold ingots. It is used to break dirt, sand, gravel and other related blocks faster, to create dirt paths from dirt-related blocks, and to extinguish campfires. It is the sixth-highest tier of shovel, having the lowest durability, and having the lowest attack damage alongside wooden shovels, despite having the highest mining efficiency. It can be admired by piglins, and has the highest enchantability.
