Efficiency On Stone Pickaxe?

Suggestions Accepted Ideas
1

From the ~30 games I have played so far, I have noticed that if you don’t have an iron pickaxe in your starting chests, it puts you at a great disadvantage to others due to the difference in mining speed.

I would like to see the idea of having efficiency 1-2 added to the starting stone pickaxe to make the starting strategy a little more balanced and not so RNG heavy.

Thanks for reading! <3

Probably the biggest problem I had, mining just felt too slow.

Yeah, it really does suck. The strategy I use when that happens is just rush the dude next to me or mine the diamond for a diamond pick, but it’s still a problem

100% agree. The starting pickaxe is just too slow. Sure, you can find a better pickaxe on your starting island, but this is not guaranteed.

I’d suggest efficiency II, as that works pretty well on Java.

I absolutely second this. The default stone pickaxe on Java SkyWars starts with Efficiency II and is so much more helpful without being unfairly fast. The initial mining on Bedrock SkyWars is so slow :c

We’ve now made it so that you spawn with an iron pickaxe :+1:
