About

The Golden Shovel is a digging tool made from gold. It breaks dirt, sand, gravel, and similar soft blocks quickly but has low durability compared to other shovel materials, making it impractical for sustained mining.

Use it when you need a fast digger for a short task, or enchant it with Efficiency and Unbreaking to improve its performance. Admins can hand one out directly with the give command or include it in a loot table for survival gameplay testing.
