Stone Pickaxe

Mining role and durability

The stone pickaxe has mining level 1 and a tool speed of 4 for pickaxe-mineable blocks. The supplied reference says a stone pickaxe or better is required for blocks in its level-1 tier, but the excerpt does not provide their names. Breaking a block generally consumes one durability point; hardness-zero blocks such as torches and flowers consume none. It has 131 durability and can be crafted from a stick and any stone-tier block.

Java combat use

The component lists an attack-damage modifier of +2; combined with the player’s base unarmed damage, the reference gives three health points per hit. Its attack-speed modifier is -2.8, and the reference describes about 0.85 seconds to recover. Each weapon attack consumes two durability, so combat use spends durability that would otherwise remain available for mining.

Repair and enchantments

An anvil repair with cobblestone, cobbled deepslate, or blackstone restores 25% of maximum durability rounded down and preserves enchantments. Two pickaxes can also be combined for their remaining durability plus 5%. Efficiency increases mining speed; Unbreaking and Mending are also listed. Fortune and Silk Touch are mutually exclusive: Fortune increases drops, while Silk Touch makes blocks drop themselves.

Mining choices

A pickaxe-mineable block must also meet the pickaxe’s mining-level requirement for the stated level-1 role. The supplied excerpt does not name the blocks covered by that tier, so it does not support a specific block list. Choose between the mutually exclusive Fortune and Silk Touch enchantments according to the desired drops.

Limitations and tradeoffs

• Mining level 1 establishes a tier role, but the supplied excerpt does not list the blocks in that tier.
• Weapon attacks consume two durability per hit, which uses durability that could otherwise support mining.
• Fortune and Silk Touch provide different, mutually exclusive drop outcomes.
