A wooden pickaxe is an early-game variant of pickaxe that is crafted from planks. It is the seventh-highest tier of pickaxe, having the lowest mining efficiency, and having the lowest attack damage alongside golden pickaxes. It has a mining level of 0, allowing it to mine stone and coal ore. It can be used as fuel in a furnace, smoker, or blast furnace.

Usage

Mining

A wooden pickaxe is used to break stone-based and metal-based materials faster. Breaking a block with a wooden pickaxe consumes one use (one durability point). No durability is consumed for blocks that have a hardness value of 0, such as torches and flowers.

Weapon

Java Edition

All pickaxes have an attack speed modifier of -2.8, meaning they take about 0.85 seconds to recover. Wooden pickaxes do 2HP damage per attack, or 2.4 damage per second.

Bedrock Edition

All pickaxes attack instantly, with wooden pickaxes doing 3HP damage per attack.

Repairing

Combining

Anvil repair

Ingredients	Anvil recipe
Damaged Wooden Pickaxe + Any Planks	Wooden Pickaxe

A wooden pickaxe can be repaired in an anvil by adding wooden planks, with each plank restoring 25% of the pickaxe's maximum durability, rounded down. Two wooden pickaxes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the pickaxe's enchantments.
