Best enchantments for the pickaxe
Currently, there are 6 different enchantments available for the pickaxe in Minecraft. However, only 4 of these can be acquired from the spellcasting table. Mending and Curse of Vanishing must be found/traded to apply to the pickaxe.
- Efficiency (V): Increases mining speed, allowing you to collect minerals and stones faster. Having this spell will help you strip the mine faster, while also increasing how quickly you find important ores like Coal, Iron, and Diamonds.
- Luck (III): Increases some block drops. For example, instead of receiving 1 diamond per block, it is possible to receive 4 diamonds with Fortune III. By far one of the best spells currently available in Minecraft.
- Silk Touch (I): Mined blocks drop by themselves. You can use Silk Touch to collect otherwise unobtainable items such as snow, Ender crates, coral blocks, stone, shelves, blue ice, glowstone, grass blocks, spawn, and turtle eggs.
- Unbreaking (III): Increases the duration of the item. Another great spell, it will reduce the number of times you need to repair your pickaxe. If you’re running out of durability, you can place your pickaxe in n Anvil along with the material it’s made of.
- Mending (I): When you use Mending, experience orbs will repair your pickaxe instead of leveling up your Minecraft character. Very useful if you have a pickaxe that you want to keep using. However it is a rare enchantment to obtain, but a great choice if possible.
- Curse of Vanishing (I): If you have Curse of Vanishing applied to a pickaxe, it will be destroyed on death, making it unrecoverable. No reason to put it on your pickaxe, but great for your enemies!
Upgrading Pickaxes
Usually, players get stuck in diamond level equipment in the Overworld. While tools with diamond materials are very valuable, they are not the best; pickaxes are no different.
A diamond pickaxe can harvest all ores in Minecraft without limit.
How do you make a gold pickaxe in Minecraft?
Open the crafting table, add 3 gold bars in the top row, then 2 sticks in the middle of the second and third rows to create a gold pickaxe.
Smelt gold ore in a furnace to create gold bars. Gold pickaxes are the least durable, but mine stone blocks faster than other types. Diamonds cannot be mined from them.
How to get this spell?
You can get Efficiency V from:
- Using an enchanted table
- By villagers who trade
- Combining two Efficiency III spells with an anvil
