Golden Pickaxe item in Minecraft

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

The Golden Pickaxe is a pickaxe, the mining tool for stone, ores and metal blocks. Its material decides which ores drop something when broken. Made from gold ingots, it is the fastest pickaxe and the easiest to enchant, but it has the mining tier of wood and breaks after 32 uses. It works like every other pickaxe; the Iron Pickaxe page explains mining tiers and enchantments.

It is made with the Crafting Table from 2 × Stick and 3 × Gold Ingot.
