Usage

Mining

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

Java Edition

All pickaxes have an attack speed modifier of -2.8, meaning they take about 0.85 seconds to recover. Stone pickaxes do 3HP damage per attack, or 3.6 damage per second.

Bedrock Edition

All pickaxes attack instantly, with stone pickaxes doing 4HP damage per attack.

Repairing

Combining

Ingredients	Crafting recipe	[hide]Description
Damaged Stone Pickaxe		The durability of the two pickaxes is added together, plus an extra 6 points of durability.

Ingredients	Grinding recipe	[hide]Description
2x Damaged Stone Pickaxe		The durability of the two pickaxes is added together, plus an extra 6 points of durability.

Unit repair

Ingredients	[hide]Anvil recipe
Damaged Stone Pickaxe + Cobblestone or Blackstone	Stone Pickaxe

A stone pickaxe can be repaired in an anvil by adding cobblestone, cobbled deepslate, or blackstone, with each block restoring 25% of the pickaxe's maximum durability, rounded down. Two stone pickaxes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the pickaxe's enchantments.

Enchantments

A stone pickaxe can receive the following enchantments:

Name	Description	Max Level	Method	Weight
Efficiency	Increases the mining speed.	V	Enchanting Table Anvil	10
Fortune	Increases the amount of drops when mining.	III	Enchanting Table Anvil	2
Silk Touch	Causes blocks to drop themselves when mined.	I	Enchanting Table Anvil	1
Unbreaking	Grants a chance to negate durability consumption.	III	Enchanting Table Anvil	5
Mending	Repairs the pickaxe when obtaining experience.	I	Anvil	2
Curse of Vanishing	The pickaxe vanishes on death, not dropping as an item.	I	Anvil	1
