Pickaxes

Pickaxes are tools used in the Mining skill to obtain Ore and Stone. How pickaxes behave can differ based on what Enchantments are applied to it.

Breaking Power
In Vanilla Minecraft, some pickaxes are unable to drop blocks that they are not powerful enough to drop. SkyBlock has reimplemented this system in the form of Breaking Power. A Breaking Power of level 1 is able to mine all types of Stone, Breaking Power 2 can mine Iron Ore, and so on. Because SkyBlock intends to provide an MMORPG experience, Breaking Power continues beyond Vanilla Minecraft's limit, to allow for the mining of Mithril, Titanium, and more.

Vanilla Pickaxes
All vanilla Minecraft tools exist in SkyBlock. Since tools don't use durability in SkyBlock, before the 0.11 Dwarven Mines Update golden pickaxes were actually used often as they had the biggest Mining Speed compared to all the other pickaxes. They also had a Breaking Power of 2 and now have a Breaking Power of 1. The wooden pickaxe is used in various Mining Minion recipes, but changing the type of pickaxe will not work in a minion.
