Pickaxe

== Usage ==
=== Mining ===
A pickaxe is used to break stone and metal-based materials faster. Breaking a block with a pickaxe consumes one use (one durability point). No durability is consumed for blocks that break instantly. Pickaxes have different amounts of uses based on the type:
* Wooden: 60
* Stone: 132
* Iron: 251
* Golden: 33
* Diamond: 1,562
* Netherite: 2,032
Different qualities of pickaxe are required to successfully harvest certain ores and blocks. For example, while stone can be mined with any pickaxe, gold ore must be mined with an iron, diamond, or netherite pickaxe, or else the player harvests no ore. Different pickaxes also mine many materials at different speeds:
==== Speed ====
The following table shows the time it takes to break each type of block.
* A red background indicates that the block cannot be harvested with that type of pickaxe.
* A yellow background indicates that the block cannot be harvested with that type of pickaxe, but still drops something.
* A green background indicates that the block can be harvested with that type of pickaxe.
