Minecraft:Iron Pickaxe

An iron pickaxe is a variant of Minecraft:pickaxe that is crafted from iron ingots. It is the third-highest tier of pickaxe, having higher mining efficiency, durability, attack damage, and enchantability than a copper pickaxe. It has a mining level of 2, allowing it to mine gold ore, redstone ore, emerald ore, and diamond ore.

Obtaining

Repairing

Anvil repair

An iron pickaxe can be repaired in an Minecraft:anvil by adding iron ingots, 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 enchantments.
