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 | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Damaged Stone Pickaxe | The durability of the two pickaxes is added together, plus an extra 5% of durability. |
| Ingredients | Grinding recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2x Damaged Stone Pickaxe | The durability of the two pickaxes is added together, plus an extra 5% of durability. |
Unit repair
| Ingredients | Anvil recipe |
|---|---|
| Damaged + Cobblestone or Blackstone |
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 | 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 |
