What it does

Certain tools can be upgraded at the smithing table through added recipes. The upgrade path follows the material chain, from wooden to stone, iron and diamond tools, with the golden pickaxe starting from the wooden tier because of its durability.

Key features

  1. Smithing table upgrades

    Selected tools gain upgrade recipes at the smithing table, so a tool advances to the next material without being rebuilt from scratch.

  2. Material tier chain

    The upgrade order runs wooden, stone, iron and diamond, letting a player step a pickaxe up one tier at a time.

  3. Golden pickaxe path

    The golden pickaxe begins its upgrade line from the wooden tier, reflecting its low durability.
