Netherite Shovel Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a netherite shovel with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a netherite shovel is a new tool that was introduced in the Nether Update. It will be the most durable of all of the shovels which means that it will last the longest before being destroyed. A netherite shovel has attack damage of +6.5 when used as a weapon. Starting in Minecraft 1.20, the way to craft a netherite shovel has changed and now includes the new smithing template as an ingredient.

Let’s explore how to make a netherite shovel.
