Netherite Pickaxe in Minecraft: The Last Pick You Will Craft

Quick answer: Use minecraft:netherite_pickaxe in Java Edition commands. Upgrade a diamond pickaxe at a smithing table with a netherite upgrade template and one netherite ingot; the result mines faster, lasts longer, and survives lava.

Upgrading the right way

The smithing table recipe is template plus diamond pickaxe plus netherite ingot, and every enchantment carries over. Always enchant the diamond pickaxe first, because enchanting a fresh netherite one from scratch wastes levels on the anvil later.

Netherite items float in lava, which alone justifies the upgrade for Nether miners. Add better durability and the fastest obsidian mining in the game and the diamond pickaxe becomes a stepping stone.

Upgrade: template + diamond pickaxe + netherite ingot.
Enchantments and prior work carry over.
Netherite items do not burn in lava or fire.

Enchant plan for the final pick

Efficiency V and Unbreaking III are universal; Mending keeps it alive forever. The real fork is Fortune III versus Silk Touch: Fortune multiplies diamond, coal, and ancient-debris-adjacent drops, while Silk Touch preserves ore blocks, glass, and ender chests.

Serious players keep two maxed pickaxes, one of each, because the two enchantments are mutually exclusive. If you can only afford one, Silk Touch with an ender chest is the utility pick, Fortune the profit pick.
