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 | 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.
Repairing
Combining
| Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Damaged Netherite Pickaxe | The durability of the two pickaxes is added together, plus an extra 5% of durability. |
| Ingredients | Grinding recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2x Damaged Netherite Pickaxe | The durability of the two pickaxes is added together, plus an extra 5% of durability. |
Unit repair
| Ingredients | Anvil recipe |
|---|---|
| Damaged + Netherite Ingot |
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.

A netherite pickaxe 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 pickaxe when obtaining experience. | I | 2 | |
| Curse of Vanishing | The pickaxe vanishes on death, not dropping as an item. | I | 1 |
