About this converter

Java tools break after a fixed number of uses. Carrot on a Stick opens at 25, Gold at 32, Wood at 59, Flint and Steel and Fishing Rod at 64 each, Warped Fungus on a Stick at 100, Stone at 131, Copper at 191, Shears at 238, Iron and Trident at 250 each, Shield at 336, Bow at 384, Elytra at 432, Diamond at 1561 and Netherite at 2031. That makes one Netherite tool equal about 63 Gold tools. Gold mines fastest but dies first, while Netherite leads on both life and tier.

How to use it

Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Netherite tool against Gold tools to see the 63 to 1 durability gap.

Every value here is the Java figure. Bedrock adds one use to tiered tools, so rows pin Java and note the gap. Shield wear scales with blocked hit strength plus one, so 336 is a cap, not a promise. Carrot boosts cost 7 uses each in Java against 2 in Bedrock. Crossbow at 465 and Mace at 500 sit above Elytra and stay noted to keep the table at sixteen rows.
