- Internal Item ID: 4711 (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)
The Gravedigger's Shovel is a tool that can be used to dig up "soft" blocks (see below) more efficiently than a pickaxe or drill, in a 3×3-tile rectangle centered on the cursor.
It takes 2 swings to dig up each "soft" block, and all blocks are mined at the same time.
Its best modifier is Legendary. However, due to rounding, Legendary, Light, Deadly, Agile, Quick, and Nasty provide equal boosts to mining speed for this tool.

- The Gravedigger's Shovel cannot break Tombstones directly. They can only be removed with it by digging up the ground under them.
- In For the worthy worlds, it only takes one swing to dig up blocks.
Tips
- Uses for the Gravedigger's Shovel include easier navigation in the Snow and Jungle biomes by shoveling Snow and Mud Blocks, faster Hellstone mining by shoveling Ash Blocks, faster use of an Extractinator by shoveling Silt and Slush, and faster acquisition of Red Bricks for construction by shoveling Clay Blocks.
Trivia
- The tooltip, 'Can you dig it?', references a classic 50s and 60s slang phrase, which appears in many works then and since.
- The Gravedigger's Shovel is the only tool that mines blocks without having pickaxe power.
