Description

Tempered Iron Shovel is the digging tool of Ala Industrial's tempered iron line, crafted from one tempered iron ingot and two sticks on a workbench in the vanilla shovel pattern. Tempered Iron Shovel mines dirt, sand, gravel, and farmland at mining speed 7.0, slightly faster than a vanilla iron shovel, and carries the iron mining level, so diamond ore, obsidian, and ancient debris drop nothing. The tool lasts for 350 durability, exactly 100 uses more than an iron shovel, and needs no energy, wearing down through ordinary use instead.

As a full vanilla shovel, Tempered Iron Shovel turns grass blocks into dirt paths, extinguishes campfires, and doubles as a weapon for 5.0 attack damage, half a heart above an iron shovel. An enchanting table accepts Efficiency, Unbreaking, Fortune, Silk Touch, and Mending for Tempered Iron Shovel, and the material's enchantability of 16 catches those enchantments a little better than iron's 14. When durability runs low, Tempered Iron Shovel repairs at an anvil with a single tempered iron ingot, the same material smelted one-to-one from a vanilla iron ingot. For players who have not yet reached diamond, Tempered Iron Shovel is the natural mid-game digging upgrade on Fabric or NeoForge for Minecraft 26.2.
