About the Copper Shovel

The Copper Shovel is a digging tool used to clear dirt, sand, gravel, snow, and similar soft blocks much faster than by hand. You can also right-click on a grass block with it to turn the block into a dirt path.

As a copper tool, it sits between stone and iron in performance. It digs faster and lasts longer than stone, but it is not as durable as an iron shovel. It can be enchanted with Efficiency, Unbreaking, Fortune, Silk Touch, and Mending, and it can be repaired with copper ingots.

How to get the Copper Shovel

You get the Copper Shovel by crafting it. Place one copper ingot above two sticks in the standard shovel pattern. It is not normally found in loot chests or sold by villagers, so crafting is the main way to obtain one. If you have spare copper from mining, this is a simple tool to make without using up iron.
