A stone shovel is a variant of shovel that is crafted from cobblestone. 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 fifth-highest tier of shovel, having higher mining efficiency, attack damage, and durability than a wooden shovel.
