How to Make a Pickaxe in Minecraft

Finding a tree:

At the opening stage of Minecraft, you will be spawned in a location, and the first task you have to do is to find a tree; you can get a tree by going on an adventure into the forest.

Harvesting the wood logs from the tree:

The very next step after finding the tree is to start harvesting the wood logs. To collect the wood logs, you need to move to the tree’s trunk and start breaking it. You have to do this on each block of the tree trunk to collect all the wood logs.

Turning wooden logs to wooden planks:

This step will turn the wood logs into wood planks that we have harvested in the previous step. You can do this by going into the inventory and placing the wood logs into a 2×2 grid in the top right corner, and by following the arrow, you can easily convert your wood logs into wood planks.

Making a crafting table:

We will make the crafting table using the wood planks that we prepared in the previous step. To make this, we have to open the inventory and place the wooden planks in 2×2 format on the top right and follow the arrow to make the crafting table.

Crafting sticks:

We will use the crafting table to craft sticks. For that, we have to place two wooden planks next to each other vertically on a 3×3 grid. We will get two craft sticks and put them in the inventory for future use in this process.

After making crafting sticks, we will make pickaxes of different materials to use and move to the following levels.

At first, we have to make a wooden pickaxe as we have started the game by collecting the woods and making different tools from the forest. So, let’s find

How to make a Wooden Pickaxe in Minecraft?

We will make the wooden pickaxe using the sticks and wooden planks from the inventory we collected earlier. For that, we need to put two sticks into the 2nd column and place three wooden planks in a row above the sticks. And here our wooden Minecraft pickaxe is ready. We can use it in the game to mine and gather stones.

How to make a Stone Pickaxe in Minecraft?

For crafting a stone pickaxe, we must have the wooden pickaxe with us earlier. By using the wooden pickaxe, we need to mine the stone. You can get some stone by a mountain or have to dig down below the dirt layer. You can mine it with your wooden pickaxe, and it will drop some cobblestones. However, you need to grab at least three pieces of cobblestones to make a stone pickaxe.

After that, you need to place two sticks in the 2nd column, then put three cobblestones in a row above the sticks like we have done before while making the wooden pickaxe, and after that, our stone pickaxe is prepared for further use.

How to make an Iron Pickaxe in Minecraft?

We need a stone pickaxe before crafting an iron pickaxe because we need to mine the iron ore with the help of a stone pickaxe to collect the iron. Iron is available in the cave systems, and you can notice them by their brown specks. Following, you have to place the iron ore into the furnace and wait for it to smelt.

You can get iron ingots as the output from the furnace and use them later to craft an iron pickaxe. You can get an iron pickaxe by utilizing the iron ingots in the crafting table in the same order with sticks that we have done earlier for the wooden and stone pickaxe.

(To make a furnace, you need to collect eight pieces of cobblestone and place them in the outside perimeter of the crafting GUI, leaving the middle square blank. After that, click on the furnace to collect the block from the crafting table and drag it to the inventory for future use.)

How to make a Golden Pickaxe in Minecraft?

Gold can only mine the same blocks that stone does. However, It can mine faster than iron but lasts less long comparatively.

For crafting the golden pickaxe, you need to find the gold ore. The gold ore can be found below “Y” level 31 and is noticeable by its yellow specks.

After that, you have to place the gold ore in the furnace to make gold ingots, as the gold ingots can be used further to make a golden pickaxe. You have to use sticks and gold ingots and place them in the craft in the same order we did earlier to make the golden pickaxe. As the golden Minecraft pickaxe does not last long, you can use an iron pickaxe for better use.

How to make a Diamond Pickaxe in Minecraft?

To craft the diamond pickaxe, we need to find the diamonds first. As diamond is one of the rarest materials in the game, it can take you up to a few hours or days to collect diamonds. You can found them below “Y” layer 16 and next to lava.

As diamonds don’t need to be smelted, you must mine them carefully with the iron pickaxe and collect them. Always dig around them to ensure that no lava could fall into them before breaking the diamond.

You can place the diamonds on the crafting table with two sticks; likewise, we have done before to get your diamond pickaxe. The diamond pickaxe is capable of mining everything in the game except bedrock. Hence, you can call it the 2nd best pickaxe in the game.

How to Make a Netherite Pickaxe in Minecraft?

It would be best if you had a diamond pickaxe before getting a netherite pickaxe.

You need to find ancient debris in the nether, which generates below “Y” level 22 to get netherite ingot from it. You can find 1-4 pieces of ancient debris at a time. To get to the nether, you need to build a nether portal which you can do by placing obsidian four blocks wide and five blocks tall.

Further, light the nether portal with some steel and flint. For the making of the flint and steel, you need iron and flint. By placing the iron ingot and flint into the crafting menu randomly, you can start the process of traversing the nether.

If you want to light your portal, make sure that you light one of the inside obsidian blocks, stand in the portal for some time, and you are ready to face the fiery depths of the nether.

Ancient debris will spawn between “Y” levels 8 and 22. Mostly you can find it in the “Y” level 15. It will require you to dig below some lava lakes.

Ancient debris has a rock-type exterior, and the top and bottom of the block have a swirl texture. In making a netherite ingot, you need to find four ancient debris and four gold ingots. You need to mine the ancient debris with the diamond pickaxe and later have to smelt the ancient debris in a furnace to get netherite scrap.

After that, you need to place the netherite scrap and gold ingots in a crafting table and arrange them the way you like to get the netherite ingot.

Each ingot is capable of upgrading any diamond tool or armor into netherite armor. You will need a smithing table for that process.

To make a smithing table, you combine four wood planks with two iron ingots above them. You need to place the smithing table and open it. After that, place your diamond pickaxe on the left and netherite ingot on the right to get the best pickaxe of the game, the netherite pickaxe.

Moreover, the smithing table can keep any of the enchantments that you previously had on your pickaxe so that you won’t lose anything as you upgrade the pickaxe.

One of the best parts is that netherite can’t be melted by lava, which has remarkable properties so that you can use it later without any worries.

Attack damage and durability of a pickaxe in Minecraft:

Attack damage can be calculated as the amount of damage the item will deal when attacking a mob.

Durability defines the lifetime of the pickaxe means how long it will last and be capable of mining after practical actions. It means the number of hits before the item gets destroyed. Higher durability ensures better and stays more extended performance as compared to the one with less durability.

You can get data about the various pickaxe regarding their attack damage and durability in the below table.
