What is Netherite Shovel in Minecraft?
A netherite shovel is the best shovel you can get in Minecraft. It is an incredibly fast and durable tool for digging soft blocks like dirt, sand, gravel, and snow. As an upgrade from the diamond shovel, it lasts much longer and works a little bit faster. Its best feature is that it is fireproof. If you accidentally drop your netherite shovel in lava, it will not be destroyed. It will just float on top so you can get it back safely. This makes it a very reliable tool, especially when you are working in the dangerous Nether. For any player who needs to do a lot of digging or landscaping for a big build, a netherite shovel is a fantastic and satisfying tool to own.
How to get Netherite Shovel in Minecraft
You can only get a netherite shovel by upgrading a diamond shovel. You will need a diamond shovel, one netherite ingot, and a smithing table. The hardest part is getting the netherite ingot. You will need to go on an adventure deep into the Nether. You are looking for a rare block called ancient debris. You will need a diamond pickaxe to mine it. A good strategy is to mine around Y level 15 and use beds or TNT to clear large areas, as ancient debris is blast resistant. Once you have collected four ancient debris, you need to smelt them in a furnace to get netherite scraps. Then, combine four netherite scraps with four gold ingots on a crafting table to create one netherite ingot. Finally, use the smithing table. Place your diamond shovel in the first slot and the netherite ingot in the second, and your new netherite shovel will be ready, keeping all of its old enchantments.
How to use Netherite Shovel in Minecraft
The main use for a netherite shovel is to dig soft blocks like dirt, sand, and gravel at an incredible speed. It makes clearing land for a base or digging out a large area feel effortless. You can also use it on a grass block to create a grass path, which is great for making walkways. To make your netherite shovel even more powerful, you should enchant it. Adding the Efficiency enchantment can make it dig so fast that blocks break almost instantly. This is amazing for clearing large areas quickly. You can also add Silk Touch to pick up blocks like grass blocks or mycelium, or Unbreaking and Mending to make it last almost forever. It is an essential tool for any serious builder.
