A **graverobber's shovel** is a special [shovel](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Shovel) that can mine multiple blocks.

### Repairing

A graverobber's shovel can be repaired on an anvil with [cursed metal ingots](../components/cursed-metal-ingot). They can also be repaired by combining two of the same type of items together in a crafting interface, or [grindstone](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Grindstone).

## Usage

### Shovel

The graverobber's shovel functions as a diamond-[level](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tiers#Mining_level) shovel with all associated functionalities.

### Gravedigging

The shovel, when not crouching, is capable of breaking 2 blocks at once, provided said blocks are shovel-able as when the player breaks a block, the block 'above' will also break if mined vertically. If mined horizontally, the shovel-able block in front will break instead.

[Mob Heads/Skulls](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Head) are broken quickly with the shovel.

### Graverobbing

[Dirt](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Dirt_\(disambiguation\)) or [sand](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Sand) [blocks](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Red_Sand), when mined the graverobber's shovel, have a 10% chance of dropping items from either a [zombie](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Zombie) or [skeleton's](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Skeleton) loot table. If sand blocks are mined, any loot that's a food item, that does not provide any effects like [rotten flesh](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Rotten_Flesh), will be turn into a bone item.

This effect also works on [soul sand](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Soul_Sand) [blocks](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Soul_Soil), but will only use the skeleton's loot table.
