Guides › Items & tools
A pickaxe mines stone, ores and other hard blocks. In Bedrock, two things matter most: how fast it mines, and its tier, which decides which ores it can harvest. A wooden pickaxe can't get iron, and only diamond or better can mine obsidian.
With Addon's Studio you can make a pickaxe that's faster than netherite, a cheap early-game tool, or a special tool that runs commands when it breaks blocks. Everything is set with sliders and pickers, with no coding.

Step by step
Add a Pickaxe
In your project, tap Add item and choose Pickaxe. Give it a name and an ID.
Set the mining speed
Mining speed controls how fast it digs. For reference, wood is 2, stone 4, iron 6, diamond 8 and netherite 9.
Choose the mining tier
Pick Wood, Stone, Iron, Diamond or Netherite. The tier decides which ores it can mine.
Set damage, durability and repair
Choose its attack damage, how long it lasts and which item repairs it in an anvil.
Draw it and add actions
Draw the icon, or turn on 3D model for Blockbench. Use the Break a block with it action to run commands whenever it mines something.
Add a recipe and export
Turn on Crafting, fill the 3×3 grid and tap Export.
Tips
- Make a custom ore and a pickaxe crafted from its drop for a full survival progression.
- A very high mining speed feels like instant mining, which is fun in building worlds.
- Break a block with it actions run as the player, so effect @s haste 5 1 gives the miner a boost.
- Turn on Enchanted shine for a rare-looking tool.
Questions
What does mining tier do?
It sets which blocks drop items when mined. For example, an Iron-tier pickaxe can mine diamond ore, but a Stone-tier one can't.
Can I make a pickaxe faster than netherite?
Yes. Mining speed goes up to 50, so you can make it far faster than netherite's 9.
Do I need to code?
No. You set everything with options and a pixel editor, then tap Export. Addon's Studio writes the add-on files for you.
