Golden Shovel

A golden shovel is a tool crafted from sticks and a gold ingot, making it the fastest but least durable shovel in Minecraft. It is primarily used to dig dirt, sand, gravel, and other soft blocks quickly, but with only 32 durability, it breaks much faster than other shovels. Despite its inefficiency for long-term use, a golden shovel has high enchantability, making it useful for obtaining powerful enchantments. It can also be smelted into a gold nugget using a furnace or blast furnace.
