Netherite Pickaxe
minecraft:netherite_pickaxeThe Netherite Pickaxe is Minecraft's endgame mining tool, made by upgrading a diamond pickaxe at a smithing table with a netherite ingot and a netherite upgrade smithing template. It shares the diamond pickaxe's mining level, so it unlocks no new blocks, but it mines faster, deals more damage, and lasts far longer at 2031 uses. It can mine ancient debris, the raw resource used to make more netherite ingots, closing the loop for further upgrades.
