Overview
Diamond Pickaxe is a tool in the Tools category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it and End City chest loot. It cannot be stacked, so each Diamond Pickaxe occupies a full inventory slot on its own. With a base durability of 1561 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted.
Its 1561-point durability sets how many actions it survives before breaking, and pairing it with Unbreaking multiplies that effective lifespan while Mending repairs it from collected experience. Diamond gear is high tier, capable of handling the toughest blocks and mobs, and any diamond tool or armor piece can be upgraded to Netherite at a smithing table. When enchanted, it can carry 6 different enchantments, including Efficiency, Unbreaking, Mending, and Fortune. Of the 5 kinds of generated chest that can hold it, end city chests are the best bet at about 13% per chest.
