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. With a base durability of 2031 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted.
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.
