Iron Pickaxe

An iron pickaxe is a variant of pickaxe that is crafted from iron ingots. It is the third-highest tier of pickaxe, having higher mining efficiency, durability, attack damage, and enchantability than a copper pickaxe. It has a mining level of 2, allowing it to mine gold ore, redstone ore, emerald ore, and diamond ore.

In Bedrock Edition, pillagers and vindicators have a chance of dropping a damaged iron pickaxe when killed during a raid. The pickaxe has a 50% chance of being enchanted with random enchantment(s).

In Bedrock Edition, wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop an enchanted iron pickaxe (available enchantments listed below) when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.
