Copper Pickaxe

The Copper Pickaxe is a versatile tool crafted using three Copper Ingots and two Sticks in a 3×3 crafting grid. It serves as a mid-tier pickaxe with efficiency and durability slightly above the Stone Pickaxe, making it a practical choice for early mining progression. With a mining level of 1, the Copper Pickaxe can break blocks such as Copper Ore, Iron Ore, and Lapis Lazuli, but cannot mine higher-tier materials like Redstone, Gold, or Diamond.

The Copper Pickaxe has 190 durability and an efficiency rating of 5, allowing it to mine stone and metal-based blocks faster than lower-tier tools. It also functions as a melee weapon, dealing 3 attack damage in Java Edition and 4 in Bedrock Edition. The tool can be enchanted with Efficiency, Fortune, or Silk Touch to enhance mining results, and it can be repaired using Copper Ingots in an Anvil or by combining two damaged tools.

When smelted, the Copper Pickaxe yields a Copper Nugget, making it partially recyclable. Its distinctive orange tone complements copper-themed builds while offering a balance of utility and aesthetic appeal, ideal for players transitioning from basic to advanced mining gear.
