Diamond Shovel item in Minecraft

Present since 1.0 or earlier Stack size: 1 In 1 tutorial ↓

The Diamond Shovel is a shovel, the digging tool for soft ground: dirt, grass, sand, gravel, clay, snow and soul sand. It also flattens grass into paths and puts out campfires. Made from a diamond, it lasts 1561 uses, enough for whole terraforming projects, and can be upgraded to netherite. It works like every other shovel; the Iron Shovel page explains paths, snow and enchantments.

It is made with the Crafting Table from 2 × Stick and Diamond.
