Usage

Main article: Pickaxe § Usage

Mining

A wooden pickaxe is used to break stone-based and metal-based materials faster. Breaking a block with a wooden 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. Wooden pickaxes do 2HP♥ damage per attack, or 2.4 damage per second.

Bedrock Edition

All pickaxes attack instantly, with wooden pickaxes doing 3HP♥♥ damage per attack.
