Minecraft:Tiers

Template:Distinguish Tiers refer to the different levels and materials of Minecraft:tools and weapons.

Tiers

There are currently seven tiers in the game: wood, gold, stone, copper, iron, diamond, and netherite. The tier of an item determines its mining level, durability, Minecraft:mining efficiency, damage bonus, enchantability, and repair item.

Mining level

Mining level is an internal numeric value used by Minecraft:pickaxes that represents an additional restriction to whether or not blocks drop anything when Minecraft:mined, in addition to requiring the correct tool type. While it is used only by pickaxes, other tools have mining level values internally that match their tier.
