Description

Bronze Pickaxe is a mining tool added by IndustrialCraft 2 (IC2) that breaks the same ores as an iron pickaxe. Iron mines slightly faster than bronze: the mining level matches, but bronze digs a little slower. Bronze Pickaxe belongs to the bronze tool set, and bronze has no ore of its own because the metal is crafted from copper and tin.

Bronze Pickaxe is crafted from 3 bronze ingots and 2 sticks in the standard pickaxe shape: three ingots in a row and two sticks in a column below the middle ingot. A player who has copper and tin can mine at iron level without any iron ingots by crafting Bronze Pickaxe.
