What is Netherite Pickaxe in Minecraft?
The netherite pickaxe is the best pickaxe in all of Minecraft. It is the final upgrade for your most important tool, making it faster, stronger, and much more durable than a diamond pickaxe. It can mine any block that a diamond pickaxe can, but it does it quicker. One of its most amazing features is that it is completely fireproof. If you accidentally drop your netherite pickaxe in lava, it will not burn up. It will just float on the surface, waiting for you to pick it back up. This makes it the perfect tool for dangerous mining trips in the Nether. Having a netherite pickaxe is a major achievement and a tool you will use constantly on your adventures.
How to get Netherite Pickaxe in Minecraft
You cannot craft a netherite pickaxe from scratch. You have to upgrade a diamond pickaxe. To do this, you will need a smithing table, a diamond pickaxe, and one netherite ingot. Getting the netherite ingot is the main challenge. You must travel to the Nether and mine for ancient debris, a very rare block found deep underground. You will need a diamond pickaxe just to mine it. A popular method is to dig down to Y level 15 and use beds or TNT to create explosions, which clears out other blocks but leaves the blast resistant ancient debris behind. Once you have four ancient debris, smelt them in a furnace to get netherite scraps. Then, combine four netherite scraps with four gold ingots on a crafting table to make one netherite ingot. Finally, go to a smithing table, place your diamond pickaxe in one slot and the netherite ingot in the other, and you will get your netherite pickaxe, complete with all its original enchantments.
How to use Netherite Pickaxe in Minecraft
The main use for a netherite pickaxe is to mine blocks. It mines stone and ores faster than any other pickaxe, which is incredibly satisfying and saves a lot of time on big projects. To make your netherite pickaxe the ultimate mining tool, you need to enchant it. The Efficiency enchantment will make it mine incredibly fast, so fast that some blocks break instantly. The Fortune enchantment will give you more drops from ores like diamond and coal, while the Silk Touch enchantment lets you pick up delicate blocks like glass or the ore blocks themselves. Of course, adding Unbreaking and Mending will make your netherite pickaxe last so long that you may never need to make another one again.
