Overview
Netherite Pickaxe is a tool in the Tools category of Minecraft, obtained through smithing Table (Diamond Pickaxe + Netherite Upgrade + Netherite Ingot). It cannot be stacked, so each Netherite Pickaxe occupies a full inventory slot on its own the way tools and other damageable items do. With a base durability of 2031 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted to extend its working life before it breaks. This item was added to the game in version 1.16.
In this database, Netherite Pickaxe sits alongside 34 other Tools entries, each with its own page. Its 2031-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. Netherite gear is the top tier in the game: it is fireproof, floats in lava without burning, and offers the highest durability and combat or mining performance of any material. When enchanted, it can carry 6 different enchantments, including Efficiency, Unbreaking, Mending, and Fortune, which together can dramatically change how it performs.
