A copper pickaxe is a pickaxe of the copper tier, crafted from three copper ingots and two sticks. In Matcha Flavoured it is the first pickaxe that can mine hematite (iron ore) and native silver, and the one players are expected to use for most of the early game.

Usage
Mining
The copper pickaxe breaks pickaxe blocks at speed 6, faster than the vanilla copper pickaxe (5) and twice the speed of the wooden pickaxe. It has 350 durability.
It cannot harvest diamond ore, native gold, obsidian, crying obsidian or ender chests: those blocks break at speed 3 and drop nothing.[1] An iron pickaxe is needed for gold and diamonds, and a diamond pickaxe or steel pickaxe for obsidian.
The pack also makes glass, glass panes, glowstone, sea lanterns and mob heads pickaxe blocks, so a pickaxe breaks them faster than a bare hand.[2]
Combat
As a weapon it deals 3 ( × 1.5) damage at an attack speed of 1.2.
Repairing
It can be repaired in an anvil with copper ingots. As with all equipment in the pack, the repair cost never grows, so it can be repaired indefinitely; see Repairing.

History
| 1.10 | The release notes set out to lengthen the copper age: "I want them caving and using copper tools at first." |
|---|---|
| 1.12.1-alpha | Can no longer mine obsidian; the release notes say only diamond, electrum and adamant tools can. |
| 1.12.2 | No longer harvests the gold ores (native gold, native deepslate gold and gilded hellstone), crying obsidian or ender chests, but now harvests sulfurous quartz deposits (now fossils) and sulfur deposits.[3][4] |
