🔨Tools
Pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe exist in all four materials. What really separates them is the built-in fortune: it multiplies the loot of everything the tool harvests.
Fortune
Fortune is built into the tool, it cannot be enchanted on.
| Material | Fortune | Average loot |
|---|---|---|
| Diamond | 0 | ×1 |
| Amethyst | 1 | ×1.33 |
| Ruby | 2 | ×1.75 |
| Onyx | 3 | ×2.20 |
The roll is the vanilla multiplier: at fortune 3 you get 1, 1, 2, 3 or 4 times the base loot, with equal chances.
The pickaxe
| Pickaxe | Durability | Fortune |
|---|---|---|
| Diamond | 1,500 | 0 |
| Amethyst | 2,032 | 1 |
| Ruby | 3,032 | 2 |
| Onyx | 4,032 | 3 |
Fortune applies to every ore, including Nether ones.
The hoe
Same progression: 0, 1, 2 then 3 fortune. The hoe is for farm crops and above all for End mine crops, where base loot goes up to 3.
A fresh onyx hoe is also the central ingredient of the Seed Planter.
The axe
The axe is for forestry and deals more damage than the other tools: 4 in diamond, 5 in amethyst, 6 in ruby, 7 in onyx. It has no fortune.
The shovel
Same fortune as the rest, for the blocks it breaks.
Recipes
All shapes are vanilla. A pickaxe needs 3 ingots and 2 sticks, an axe 3 ingots and 2 sticks, a shovel 1 ingot and 2 sticks, a hoe 2 ingots and 2 sticks.
Onyx tools require onyx ingots, meaning 81 shards each. See Ores and materials.
