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 the way tools and other damageable items do. With a base durability of 59 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted to extend its working life before it breaks. This item was added to the game in the 1.0 full release.
In this database, Wooden Pickaxe sits alongside 34 other Tools entries, each with its own page. 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, which together can dramatically change how it performs.
