Obtaining

Upgrading

Like other diamond tools, a diamond pickaxe can be upgraded to a netherite pickaxe, increasing its durability and slightly increasing its mining speed, as well as granting resistance to fire and lava when dropped as an item. The upgraded pickaxe will keep its enchantments, name and other item data.

Ingredients	[hide]Smithing recipe
Netherite Upgrade + Diamond Pickaxe + Netherite Ingot

Usage

Mining

A netherite pickaxe is used to break stone and metal-based materials faster. Breaking a block with a netherite 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. There are no blocks that a netherite pickaxe can mine that a diamond pickaxe can’t.

Weapon

Java Edition

All pickaxes have an attack speed modifier of -2.8, meaning they take about 0.85 seconds to recover. Netherite pickaxes do 6HP damage per attack, or 7.2 damage per second.

Bedrock Edition

All pickaxes attack instantly, with netherite pickaxes doing 7HP damage per attack.

Unit repair

Ingredients	[hide]Anvil recipe
Damaged Netherite Pickaxe + Netherite Ingot	Netherite Pickaxe

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