Mattock

| Stackable | No |
A mattock is a hybrid tool that works as both a shovel and a hoe. It mines both kinds of blocks, but more slowly than a shovel or hoe of the same tier.
In the video, the developer introduces mattocks and dolabras as a fix for inventory clutter: "If you find yourself frustrated that your hot bar is always full of tools and don't mind mining a little slower, the [dolabra] and [mattock] are a good choice for you."[1]
Obtaining
Copper, iron and diamond mattocks are crafted (two ingots on top, one on the right, and two sticks). Steel, shakudo, hepatizon, electrum and adamant mattocks are smithed from a copper, iron or diamond hoe or mattock with the alloy and a smithing upgrade template; without the template the same recipe makes a plain hoe.[2] Mattocks use hoe item IDs.
Usage
A mattock tills and mines everything in #minecraft:mineable/shovel and #minecraft:mineable/hoe. Since 1.10 newly made mattocks drop snowballs from snow.
