Pickaxes are one of the most commonly crafted and used tools by a Blockhead. Their specific purpose is to mine or destroy hard material blocks and ores at a faster rate and sometimes greater results than by hand. Used over time, a pickaxe will slowly degrade and eventually be destroyed.
Appearance
The head and counterweight has a crescent appearance with the color varying based on the materials that are used in crafting the pickaxe. However, all pickaxes have a brown wooden handle.
Where Found
Pickaxes are crafted either at the tool bench or at a portal.
Tool Bench Pickaxes
Tool bench pickaxes are standard pickaxes with increasing durability due to materials. For an increase in quality, a Blockhead will need to upgrade the tool bench to the appropriate level before crafting the desired pickaxe. These pickaxes, with the exception of gold pick axes, do not provide any special benefit over one another when mining or harvesting hard material blocks or ores. Gold pickaxes have the benefit of finding additional random items in the material block being mined or harvested.

Portal Pickaxes
Portal pickaxes are pickaxes made of gemstones that have a benefit over pickaxes crafted in a tool bench. These pickaxes produce a bigger production yield of materials being mined or harvested than their tool bench counterparts. The more precious and rare the gemstone, the greater the production yield bonus. For an increase in quality, an upgrade to the appropriate level of a portal is required before crafting the desired pickaxe.

Durability

The amount of use of a pickaxe before being destroyed is related to the quality of pickaxe and materials used. The higher the quality of material, the more uses a Blockhead will get from a pickaxe.
