About Iron Pickaxe
The iron pickaxe is a reliable mid-game mining tool. It can mine most stone and ore blocks, including diamond ore, gold ore, redstone, lapis lazuli, and copper. You need one before you can collect diamonds and other useful minerals.
Key facts:
- Durability: 251 uses.
- Faster than a stone pickaxe, but slower than diamond.
- Cannot mine obsidian or ancient debris; those need diamond or netherite.
How to get Iron Pickaxe
You craft an iron pickaxe on a crafting table with three iron ingots across the top row and two sticks down the centre. That makes it an easy upgrade once you have smelted some iron. You can also trade emeralds for an iron pickaxe with a toolsmith villager.
