# Amethyst Shovel
**Description:** An Amethyst Shovel is a tool that increases durability, efficiency and allows repairing.
You cannot use SWEM tools until they have been fully crafted up to Amethyst tier.
Amethyst Tools **cannot** be crafted if the [recipe config](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/swequestrian-mod/page/recipe-config) is set to only creative or commands (disable crafting recipe).

#### **Benefits**
Amethyst tools have +400 durability over Minecraft Netherite tools (with the added benefit of non-mending repair options). All Amethyst tools have Efficiency 2 as part of their core abilities, though they can be enchanted further.
**Efficiency II:** Increased mining speed when used on an appropriate block (ie Axes > Wood or Pickaxes > Stone).
**Enchanting**
Amethyst Shovels can be used in an enchanting table or combined with enchanting books in an anvil (vanilla or cantazarite).
---
#### **Repair**
Durability is decreased with use (digging etc) like with normal tools.
Amethyst Shovels can be repaired with [Cantazarite](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/cantazarite "Cantazarite") using a [Cantazarite Anvil](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/cantazarite-anvil).

- **\[-\]** Tools are OP in attack stats, making weapons (like the longsword) defunct.
- **\[-\] 1.18** Tools cannot be repaired in Cantazarite anvil - mending enchantment works. **Fixed in 1.20.1**
