Avoiding redundancy in this page
An anonymous contributor to this wiki recently added information to this page (showing how you could have a lower Efficiency level but the Haste effect, and still mine instantly, etc.) This is accurate, but makes the page somewhat repeating, as shown below:
| Netherite Shovel | Efficiency III | |
| Diamond Shovel | Efficiency III Haste I |
|
| Diamond Shovel | Efficiency IV |
Moreover, keeping the same logic, this could be expanded even further by talking also about iron pickaxes, gold pickaxes, etc. with various Efficiency and Haste levels, making the page almost unreadable.
To avoid this redundancy, I think we should only show the simplest way to break blocks in a survival context. Here is the list I propose, from simplest to hardest:
- unenchanted wooden -> stone -> iron -> diamond tools
- enchanted diamond tools (without Haste)
- enchanted netherite tools (without Haste)
- enchanted netherite tools (with Haste)
- enchanted gold tools (with Haste)
Haste is pushed at the end because it's more end-game than everything else, and also because it only has practical uses in player bases, and obviously not in the wild. Gold tools are at the very end because they aren't a viable option in survival, and are only there for the completeness of the page.
If you have objections, please answer to this post. Sagessylu (discuss | edits) 10:12, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- The information is still useful. Netherite and diamonds are very expensive, so it makes sense to list what levels of efficiency one would need on lower tier items to instant mine certain blocks. For example, I looked this page up to see what level of efficiency I'd need on a diamond shovel, because I'm not wasting my netherite on that - although I might just save the diamond and go for iron with mending. I propose the following:
| Netherite Shovel | Efficiency III | |
| Diamond Shovel | Efficiency III Haste I | |
| Efficiency IV |
