Revision as of 15:51, 9 April 2026

A golden shovel is a variant of Minecraft:shovel that is crafted from gold ingots. It is used to break Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:sand, Minecraft:gravel and other related blocks faster, to create dirt paths from dirt-related blocks, and to extinguish Minecraft:campfires. It is the sixth-highest tier of shovel, having the lowest durability, and having the lowest attack damage alongside wooden shovels, despite having the highest mining efficiency. It can be admired by piglins, and has the highest enchantability.
