A netherite shovel is a variant of shovel obtained by upgrading a diamond shovel to netherite. It can be used to hasten the process of breaking dirt, sand, gravel, and other soil blocks, as well as to convert dirt blocks into dirt paths.
Obtaining
Upgrading
Like with other diamond tools, a diamond shovel can be upgraded to a netherite shovel, increasing its durability and slightly increasing its mining speed and attack damage, as well as granting resistance to fire and lava when dropped as an item.
| Ingredients | Smithing recipe |
|---|---|
| Netherite Upgrade + Diamond Shovel + Netherite Ingot |
Usage
Digging
A netherite shovel can be used to break dirt and soil-type materials faster. When breaking a block, it uses 1 durability. For blocks that break instantly, it uses 0 durability.
Dirt paths
A netherite 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:
Campfire
A netherite shovel can be used to extinguish a campfire.
Weapon
Netherite shovels use 2 durability when used as a weapon.
Java Edition
Netherite shovels have an attack speed modifier of -3, meaning they take 1 second to recover. Netherite shovels deal 6.5HP × 3.25 damage.
Bedrock Edition
Netherite shovels always attack instantly and do 6HP damage.
Repairing
Combining
| Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Damaged Netherite Shovel | The durability of the two shovels is added together, plus an extra 5% of durability. |
| Ingredients | Grinding recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2× Damaged Netherite Shovel | The durability of the two shovels is added together, plus an extra 5% of durability. |
Unit repair
| Ingredients | Anvil recipe |
|---|---|
| Damaged + Netherite Ingot |
A netherite shovel can be repaired in an anvil by adding netherite ingots, with each ingot restoring 25% of the shovel's maximum durability, rounded down. Two netherite shovels can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the shovel's enchantments.
Enchantments
A netherite shovel can receive the following enchantments:
| Name | Description | Max Level | Method | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Efficiency | Increases the mining speed. | V | 10 | |
| Fortune[note 1] | Increases the amount of drops when mining. | III | 2 | |
| Silk Touch[note 1] | Causes blocks to drop themselves when mined. | I | 1 | |
| Unbreaking | Grants a chance to negate durability consumption. | III | 5 | |
| Mending | Repairs the shovel when obtaining experience. | I | 2 | |
| Curse of Vanishing | The shovel vanishes on death, not dropping as an item. | I | 1 |
