Overview
Wooden Pickaxe is a tool in the Tools category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it. It cannot be stacked, so each Wooden Pickaxe occupies a full inventory slot on its own. With a base durability of 59 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted.
Its 59-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. Wooden gear is the entry-level tier, crafted from planks and used to bootstrap toward stronger materials. When enchanted, it can carry 6 different enchantments, including Efficiency, Unbreaking, Mending, and Fortune. Generated chests only ever hold Wooden Pickaxe in one place: the bonus chest (about 75%).
