Netherite Pickaxe at a glance
Smithing Table (Diamond Pickaxe + Netherite Upgrade + Netherite Ingot) gives you Netherite Pickaxe, a tool filed under Tools. No stacking for Netherite Pickaxe: a slot goes the moment a second one comes in, and a chest row of nine holds nine. Wear counts down from 2031 on Netherite Pickaxe, and an anvil resets part of that; it takes enchantments too.
Its 2031-point durability sets how many actions Netherite Pickaxe survives before breaking, and Unbreaking multiplies those 2031 while Mending repairs Netherite Pickaxe from the experience you pick up. 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. 6 enchantments apply to Netherite Pickaxe, starting with Efficiency, Unbreaking, Mending, and Fortune. It sits between Netherite Hoe and Netherite Shovel in Tools, number 23 of 35 there.
