Usage

Main article: Pickaxe § 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.

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.
