About

The Wooden Shovel is a tier-one digging tool crafted from wooden planks and a stick. It breaks soil, sand, gravel, and similar materials faster than your hand but slower than stone or better tools. Like all shovels, it also flattens grass blocks into dirt paths when used on grass.

Because shovels are non-stackable, you can only carry one in your inventory slot. It wears out with use and eventually breaks. Admins typically grant one via /give @p minecraft:wooden_shovel 1 to players starting a new game or testing terrain mechanics.
