An iron shovel is a variant of shovel that is crafted from iron 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 third-highest tier of shovel, having higher mining efficiency, attack damage, durability, and enchantability than a copper shovel.

↑ ^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.

Equipment

[edit | edit source]

Main article: Drops § Equipped items

Zombies, husks and zombie villagers‌^{[Java Edition only]} have a 0.67% (3.33% in Hard difficulty) chance of spawning with an iron shovel. They have an 8.5% (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) chance of dropping that shovel if they are killed by the player. The dropped shovel is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted: 0%–25% on Normal difficulty and 3.125%–25% on Hard difficulty, varying with regional difficulty, and enchanted as if on an enchanting table at level 5–22.

Raids

[edit | edit source]

Vindicators and pillagers that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% on Hard) to drop a badly-damaged iron shovel that is sometimes enchanted with a random enchantment.‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}

↑ The price of this trade is the base price, 2 emeralds, plus the random base enchantment level chosen (5–19).
↑ When creating an enchantment offer, the game uses a random enchantment level from 5 to 19 as the base enchantment level (see Enchanting table mechanics). The enchantments are never treasure enchantments.
