About Wooden Shovel

The wooden shovel is the most basic digging tool. It clears dirt, sand, gravel, snow, and soul sand much faster than your bare hands, and it is cheap enough to make in the first few minutes of a new world.

It has very low durability, roughly 60 uses, so it will not last long. Like other wooden tools, it can also be burned in a furnace and will smelt one item before it burns away. That gives an old shovel a last bit of use after it is nearly broken.

How to get Wooden Shovel

You get a wooden shovel only by crafting it. You need a crafting table, two sticks, and one wooden plank. Place the plank in the top middle slot, then put a stick in the middle slot and another stick directly below it. Any wood type works for the plank.
