Shovels

Shovels are used in Mining to obtain certain blocks such as Gravel and Dirt. Shovels can also be used for crafting Gravel Minion, Sand Minion, Mycelium Minion, and Red Sand Minion.

Non-Vanilla Shovels
It is not recommended to use these shovels, as the golden shovel from vanilla Minecraft digs faster, breaking power doesn’t matter on shovels, and there is no durability on SkyBlock.

However, the flint shovel is useful on the gravel minion because only flint counts as a collection.

All vanilla Minecraft tools exist in SkyBlock. Since tools don't degrade on use in SkyBlock, golden tools are actually the best due to their speed. The wooden version is used in various Minion recipes.
