Use this page to search the 30 entries currently reviewed in the tools catalog. Each result opens a dedicated page with the copyable item ID and a ready-to-use /give command.

Common reasons to use these IDs

  • creating give commands for tools
  • checking the ID for a mining or farming tool
  • moving from a material page into the right crafting tool
What are the tool tiers in Minecraft?

Wood, stone, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite, in ascending order of durability and capability. Each tier and tool type combination has its own ID, such as minecraft:iron_pickaxe or minecraft:netherite_axe.

Why does my pickaxe not drop the block I mined?

Many blocks require a minimum tool tier or a specific tool type to drop anything. Obsidian needs diamond or better, and most ores need stone tier or better. Silk Touch changes drops to the block itself, which is a separate enchantment question.

Is a fishing rod a tool?

Yes, fishing rods sit in the tools category alongside shears, flint and steel, and brushes. These utility tools have no material tiers, so each has a single item ID like minecraft:fishing_rod.

How many tools are in this catalog?

This catalog currently lists 30 reviewed tools entries. It is an expanded core catalog of the most-searched entries, not a complete list of every one in the game.

What ID format do these entries use?

Every entry uses the modern Java Edition namespaced ID format, such as minecraft:stone, which has been the current ID format since version 1.13.
