About Golden Pickaxe
The Golden Pickaxe is a fast but fragile mining tool. It mines the same blocks a wooden pickaxe can handle, such as stone and coal ore, and it does so faster than any other pickaxe. The trade-off is durability: it only lasts for 32 uses before breaking.
Key facts:
- Mines the same blocks as a wooden pickaxe.
- Cannot mine iron ore or higher-tier ores.
- Breaks after 32 uses.
Because it wears out so quickly, most players keep a golden pickaxe for short jobs and use iron or better tools for serious mining.
How to get Golden Pickaxe
You can craft a Golden Pickaxe with three gold ingots across the top row and two sticks below the middle ingot. Once you have smelted gold ore, this is easy to make. You may also occasionally find one in a ruined portal chest. Even so, it is usually treated as a spare tool rather than a main pickaxe.
