A golden pickaxe is a variant of pickaxe that is crafted from gold ingots. It is the sixth-highest tier of pickaxe, having the lowest durability, and having the lowest attack damage alongside wooden pickaxes, despite having the highest mining efficiency. It has a mining level of 0, the same as a wooden pickaxe, allowing it to mine stone and coal ore. It can be admired by piglins, and has the highest enchantability.

Usage

[edit | edit source]
Main article: Pickaxe Β§ Usage

Mining

[edit | edit source]

A golden pickaxe is used to break stone and metal-based materials faster. Breaking a block with a golden 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.

Weapon

[edit | edit source]

All pickaxes have an attack speed modifier of -2.8, meaning they take about 0.85 seconds to recover. Golden pickaxes do 2HPπŸ‘ ❀️
damage per attack, or 2.4 damage per second, the same as a wooden pickaxe.

All pickaxes attack instantly, with golden pickaxes doing 3HPπŸ‘ ❀️
πŸ‘ πŸ’”
damage per attack, the same as a wooden pickaxe.

Repairing

[edit | edit source]

Combining

[edit | edit source]
Ingredients Crafting recipe Description
Damaged Golden Pickaxe The durability of the two pickaxes is added together, plus an extra 5% of durability.
Ingredients Grinding recipe Description

Anvil repair

[edit | edit source]
Ingredients Anvil recipe
Damaged  +
Gold Ingot

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