An '''iron pickaxe''' is a variant of [[Minecraft:pickaxe]] that is crafted from [[Minecraft:iron ingot]]s. It is the third-highest [[Minecraft:tier]] of pickaxe, having higher [[Minecraft:mining efficiency]], durability, attack damage, and [[Minecraft:enchantability]] than a [[Minecraft:copper pickaxe]]. It has a [[Minecraft:mining level]] of 2, allowing it to <abbr title="break while also dropping an item">mine</abbr> [[Minecraft:gold ore]], [[Minecraft:redstone ore]], [[Minecraft:emerald ore]], and [[Minecraft:diamond ore]].

=== Crafting ===

=== Generated loot ===
{{LootChestItem|iron-pickaxe,level-enchanted-iron-pickaxe,level-enchanted-iron-pickaxe-2}}

=== Mob loot ===
{{IN|BE}}, [[Minecraft:pillager]]s and [[Minecraft:vindicator]]s have a chance of dropping a damaged iron pickaxe when killed during a [[Minecraft:raid]]. The pickaxe has a 50% chance of being enchanted with random enchantment(s).

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[Minecraft:wandering traders]] have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of [[Minecraft:Looting]]) to drop an enchanted iron pickaxe (available enchantments listed below) when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an [[Minecraft:emerald]].

=== Trading ===
Both [[Minecraft:toolsmith]]s and [[Minecraft:wandering trader]]s can sell an enchanted iron pickaxe.
{{Trade sources|Enchanted Iron Pickaxe}}

== Usage ==
{{main|Pickaxe#Usage}}

=== Mining ===
An iron pickaxe is used to break stone and metal-based materials faster. Breaking a block with an iron pickaxe consumes one use (one durability point). No durability is consumed for blocks that have a hardness value of 0, such as [[Minecraft:torch]]es and [[Minecraft:flower]]s.

==== Mining level ====
Iron pickaxes have a mining level of 2. An iron pickaxe or better is required to mine the following blocks:
* {{BlockLink|Block of Diamond}}
* {{BlockLink|Block of Emerald}}
* {{BlockLink|Block of Gold}}
* {{BlockLink|Block of Raw Gold}}
* {{BlockLink|Deepslate Diamond Ore}}
* {{BlockLink|Deepslate Emerald Ore}}
* {{BlockLink|Deepslate Gold Ore}}
* {{BlockLink|Deepslate Redstone Ore}}
* {{BlockLink|Diamond Ore}}
* {{BlockLink|Emerald Ore}}
* {{BlockLink|Gold Ore}}
* {{BlockLink|Redstone Ore}}

=== Weapon ===
==== {{JE}} ====
All pickaxes have an attack speed modifier of -2.8, meaning they take about 0.85 seconds to [[Minecraft:recover]]. Iron pickaxes do {{hp|4}} damage per attack, or 4.8 damage per second.

==== {{BE}} ====
All pickaxes attack instantly, with iron pickaxes doing {{hp|5}} damage per attack.

=== Repairing ===
==== Combining ====
{{Crafting

|ignoreusage = 1
|ingredients = Damaged Iron Pickaxe|Damaged Iron Pickaxe|Damaged Iron Pickaxe
|Output = Iron Pickaxe
|description = The durability of the two pickaxes is added together, plus an extra 5% of durability.

|showdescription=1
|ingredients=Damaged Iron Pickaxe

==== Anvil repair ====
{{main|Anvil mechanics#Unit repair}}
{{Repairing
| head=1
| Damaged Iron Pickaxe
| Damaged Iron Pickaxe; Iron Ingot
| Iron Pickaxe
| tail=1
}}

An iron pickaxe can be repaired in an [[Minecraft:anvil]] by adding [[Minecraft:iron ingot]]s, with each ingot restoring 25% of the pickaxe's maximum durability, rounded down. Two iron pickaxes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the pickaxe's [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s.

=== Enchantments ===
An iron pickaxe can receive the following [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s:
