Iron Shovel
Iron Shovel — item.
Obtaining
An iron shovel is made in a shaped equipment recipe from one iron ingot and two sticks. The iron tool material gives it a 250-use durability and the standard iron repair tag.

Usage
The shovel is the tool for dirt-family blocks, sand, gravel, clay and snow. Using it on a supported block with air above turns the surface into a dirt path; using it on a lit campfire extinguishes the fire and consumes one durability point. Snow blocks can also yield snowballs when mined.

Smelting ingredient
An iron shovel can be smelted into one iron nugget. Repairing it with iron ingots at an anvil keeps the tool and its enchantments instead of consuming it as furnace input.
| Smelting result | 1 iron nugget |

| Repair material | Iron ingot |
Enchantments
The shovel accepts Efficiency, Fortune, Silk Touch, Unbreaking and Mending. Fortune improves eligible block drops, while Silk Touch preserves a supported block instead of its normal drop.
Sounds
Shovel-specific interaction audio is emitted when the tool flattens a block into a path.
