One gamer receives the best gift for their Valentine’s Day when their partner gifts them a real-life replica of the iron pickaxe fromMinecraft. The passion of the gaming community is one felt throughout the multitude of social media that they inhabit, and those who have actual experience in artisanal skills make up a rather talented part of it. Many enjoy creating their favorite items in the games they love, such as the popular sandbox gameMinecraft, where some items are so iconic that many feel compelled to make them in real life.
Whether it’s digging, tilling, or fighting off enemies, there are many tools that players can use in the game, many of which will be put to good use in thenew biome included inMinecraft’s next major update. One of the more prominent tools is the pickaxe, allowing players to dig tunnels through masses of stone throughout the game and use such ores inside to craft more tools or materials.

One Reddit user by the name of Imegar noticed this particular shape as it was gifted to them on Valentine’s Day, which they soon took a picture of to put on Reddit at r/Minecraft. In it is a picture of theMinecraftpickaxelying on a bed, crafted to look close to the same style as that seen in the game, even with the same bit style as the pickaxe itself.
While it doesn’t look exactly like the item from the game, like thisreplica someone made of one ofMinecraft’s paintings, the shape is enough in this case. In the post, the user says that the head of the pickaxe is made from bronze, while the haft is made from oak. While not made from iron like the actual iron pickaxe, there are still many details that If one were to look closer, one would notice. One prominent detail is that the blocks of bronze that make up the head of the pickaxe are singular cubes connected together by either welding or glue, giving the appearance that the pickaxe is made up of smaller bits than just one full pickaxe.
It must be lovely to receive such a gift on Valentine’s Day, especially one from someone who shows enough interest in a hobby that they’d put in the effort to create a piece of art like this. There are many people in the world who are talented to recreate tools and weapons from their favorite games, like this person whocreated a 1:1 Leviathan Axe fromGod of War: Ragnarok. With such talented people, being able to get a real-life replica of a famous weapon from a game isn’t as far-fetched as one might think.
