Diamond Shovel

The Diamond Shovel is a unique melee weapon: a durable diamond shovel enchanted with the power to blast enemies away. Its shockwave deals 20% of weapon damage and increases knockback by 200%, making it one of the best crowd-control melee options. It hits for 60 damage per swing — the highest per-hit damage on this list — with a 90 full combo across 3 swings and 3 hits, 50 stagger, 4 blocks of reach, and 850 knockback as a heavy Tank + Support archetype weapon. Its combo resets after 3 seconds.

It drops as the unique roll of the Shovel — any Shovel drop can come out as this one — in Howling Woods, The Deep Dark, and Humbler Huskland.

Not yet ranked on the tier list, it is ideal for players who love sending mobs flying: the tripled knockback keeps dangerous packs at bay while the shockwave chips everything nearby. Pair it with Thorns for punishing retaliation and Lightning Surge for burst, and invest through Minecraft Dungeons II Enchanting Guide to turn its huge single hits into a crowd-clearing engine.
