Shovel Uses
Shovels are used to harvest blocks of dirt, gravel, and sand, just like vanilla. They can also be used to harvest
Charcoal from the charcoal blocks that are created by a
Charcoal Pit. No wooden shovels are available in Terra Firma.

As of Build 77, Bismuth Bronze, Black Bronze, Bronze, and Copper Shovels can be cast using a Vessel and a Ceramic Mold instead of working on an anvil.

Smithing

Shovel heads can also be crafted by using ingots on an anvil with a hammer. This is the only option for higher tier metals that cannot be cast. The durability depends both on the metal used and the skill of the smith forging the tool.
