[view] • A Pickaxe is a tool used to mine blocks and minerals in Minecraft, chiefly Stone. While they are not needed to break stone, pickaxes are able to do so with much less time than by hand alone. They are required to gather Stone resources for crafting and building, as well as gathering mineral resources such as Iron Ore and Coal. Pickaxes can also be used to gather other blocks, but they aren't as effective and may lose twice as much durability. They can also be enchanted.
