Wooden Shovel
minecraft:wooden_shovelThe wooden shovel is an early-game tool crafted from planks and a stick, used to break dirt, sand, and gravel faster than by hand. It can also turn dirt-family blocks into dirt paths and extinguish campfires with a right-click. With only 59 uses in Java Edition it represents the lowest tier of shovel and deals minimal attack damage.

FAQ
How do you craft a wooden shovel?
Combine any type of planks with two sticks in a crafting table using the shovel pattern: one plank on top with two sticks forming the handle below it.
What's special about using a wooden shovel on dirt blocks?
Using (not digging) the shovel on a dirt-family block instantly flattens it into a dirt path, consuming one point of durability in the process.
Can wooden shovels be repaired?
Yes. Repair one with planks on an anvil, or combine two damaged wooden shovels together to restore durability while keeping any enchantments.
Why keep a wooden shovel after the early game?
Wooden shovels can be burned as furnace fuel, smelting one item each, making them a handy way to dispose of spare tools instead of leaving them in storage.
