A diamond pickaxe has a mining level of 3, being stronger than an iron pickaxe but weaker than a netherite pickaxe. The fourth tier of pickaxe is known for being the first tier able to mine obsidian, a key ingredient in making a nether portal to access the Nether. It can quickly break various types of stone, ore, and blocks crafted from stone or ore.

Usage

Main article: Pickaxe § Usage

Mining

A diamond pickaxe is used to break stone and metal-based materials faster. Breaking a block with a diamond pickaxe consumes one durability point. No durability is consumed for blocks that have a hardness value of 0, such as torches and flowers.

A diamond pickaxe or better is required to mine the following blocks:

Weapon

Java Edition

All pickaxes have an attack speed modifier of -2.8, meaning they take about 0.85 seconds to recover. Diamond pickaxes do 5HP♥♥♥ damage per attack, or 6 damage per second.

Bedrock Edition

All pickaxes attack instantly, with diamond pickaxes doing 6HP♥♥♥ damage per attack.

A diamond pickaxe can be repaired in an anvil by adding diamonds, with each diamond restoring 390 durability. Two diamond pickaxes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the pickaxe's enchantments.

Enchantments

A diamond pickaxe can receive the following enchantments:

Name Description Max level Method Weight
Efficiency Increases the mining speed. V Enchanting Table
Anvil 		10
Fortune[note 1] Increases the amount of drops when mining. III Enchanting Table
Anvil 		2
Silk Touch[note 1] 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
  1. ↑ a b Silk Touch and Fortune are mutually exclusive

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.
