A '''golden shovel''' is a variant of [[Minecraft:shovel]] that is crafted from [[Minecraft:gold ingot]]s. It is used to break [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:sand]], [[Minecraft:gravel]] and other related blocks faster, to create [[Minecraft:dirt path]]s from [[Minecraft:Dirt (disambiguation)|dirt-related]] blocks, and to [[Minecraft:Shovel#Campfire|extinguish]] [[Minecraft:campfire]]s. It is the sixth-highest [[Minecraft:tier]] of shovel, having the lowest durability, and having the lowest [[Minecraft:attack damage]] alongside [[Minecraft:wooden shovel]]s, despite having the highest [[Minecraft:mining efficiency]]. It can be [[Minecraft:Piglin#Piglin loved items|admired]] by piglins, and has the highest [[Minecraft:enchantability]].

A golden shovel can be repaired in an [[Minecraft:anvil]] by adding [[Minecraft:gold ingot]]s, with each ingot restoring 25% of the shovel's maximum durability, rounded down. Two golden shovels can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the shovel's [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s.

=== Enchantments ===
A golden shovel can receive the following [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s:
