Minecraft:Golden Shovel

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