A shovel is a tiered tool that can quickly break sand, gravel, and dirt-related blocks. Shovels also have a unique interaction with dirt-related blocks, and can turn them into dirt paths.
There are seven shovel variants:
In ancient_city/city_center/city_center_2, there exists a furnace with a wooden shovel inside.

A shovel can be used to break soil-type materials faster. Breaking a block with a shovel consumes one use (one durability point). No durability is consumed for blocks that break instantly, like torches and flowers. Shovels have different amounts of uses based on the type:
The following table summarizes the speed at which different quality shovels perform on different block types. Values with a red background indicate that no resource is dropped when the block is destroyed without a shovel. Values with a yellow backround mean that another resource is dropped with a shovel but not the block itself and green means that the block is dropped itself.

A shovel can be used to create a dirt path by using (not digging) the shovel on any one of the following blocks, losing one durability point:
A shovel can be used to extinguish a campfire or soul campfire by using (not digging) the shovel on it, losing one durability point.
A shovel can be repaired in an anvil by adding units of the tiers' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% the shovel's maximum durability, rounded down. Two shovels of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the shovel's enchantments, unlike by crafting to repair.
A shovel can receive the following enchantments:
