Questions about diamond pickaxe
Here you will find detailed answers to frequently asked questions about diamond pickaxe.
The diamond pickaxe was added to the game in version 0.31 at the same time as the wooden and stone pickaxe, and at first it was impossible to create it yourself, since it was not necessary: it did not lose strength when used. A little later, the pickaxe "learned" to break, and a recipe for its crafting was added.
In the Beta version of Java Edition, the sound of a broken pickaxe has been added, and the strength of the pickaxe has been doubled. Changes have been made to the rate of destruction of some blocks.
In version 1.3.1, a diamond pickaxe can be bought from a villager blacksmith for 10-11 emeralds, and in version 1.8, an enchanted diamond pickaxe appeared in the assortment of a villager toolmaker.
Version 1.9 "added" enchanted diamond picks to the chests of Edge ships, and the attack speed with the pickaxe is reduced.
In version 1.16, a netherite pickaxe was added, and the diamond pickaxe became the basis of its crafting.
- Strength (diamond/iron): 1562/251
- Damage (Diamond/Iron): 5 (2.5 hearts)/4 (2 hearts)
- Damage per second (Diamond/Iron): 6/4.8
Despite the fact that the possibilities of a diamond pickaxe in Minecraft are practically unlimited, it still loses strength quite quickly, and its main ingredient – diamonds – are not often found. Therefore, most players try to use a less valuable pickaxe, for example, an iron one, if possible. And use a diamond pickaxe only if the iron pickaxe is ineffective.
Since the diamond pickaxe allows you to destroy blocks of stone very quickly, it can be used to dig long tunnels underground in a short time and find even more diamonds in a short time.
A diamond pickaxe is one of the strongest tools, but it will not be superfluous to extend its service life by enchanting it for "Strength". Additionally, you can apply the "Luck" charm, which will increase the probability of extracting more valuable resources.
There are other interesting charms that can be applied to a diamond pickaxe, but you need to remember that some charms may conflict with each other. For example, the "Luck" enchantment will not be activated on a pickaxe that is already enchanted with a "Silk Touch" - in this case, blocks will fall out, but their number will remain the same.
A great option for a diamond pickaxe would be enchantment for "Efficiency" or "Repair".
