A netherite shovel is a late-game variant of shovel obtained by upgrading a diamond shovel using a netherite ingot and netherite upgrade at a smithing table. It is used to break dirt, sand, gravel and other related blocks faster, to create dirt paths from dirt-related blocks, and to extinguish campfires. It is the highest tier of shovel, having higher mining efficiency, attack damage, durability, and enchantability than a diamond shovel.

Obtaining

Upgrading

Like with other diamond tools, a diamond shovel can be upgraded to a netherite shovel, increasing its durability and mining efficiency, as well as granting resistance to fire and lava when dropped as an item.
