    The first pickaxe you make will be wooden, the next will be a stone pickax, or maybe iron. For a stone pickaxe, go to your crafting bench

    Gen Fire DragonTheoretically it won't necessarily be true that your first pickaxe is wooden. There are a couple events that could make your first one a stone or even iron pick. For instance, finding an open air dungeon with iron in the chest, or a Creeper explosion dropping some Cobble.

    SneakyStabbalotThat's a fair point... but i guess most folks will come across the route in my solution...

    I wonder what would happen if your first pickaxe was Diamond?

    For this achievement you'll need to craft a "better" pickaxe. So an upgrade from wooden would be stone, iron, gold, or diamond. For this guide we'll deal with stone. Cobblestone can be found underground, in caves, and at mountain bases. Punching or mining will harvest blocks ob cobble for you to craft. You'll need 3 cobblestones and 2 sticks to craft a stone pickaxe. A workbench is also needed to craft on.

    Upon crafting the better pickaxe you'll net 15G!

    I have made a video on how to do this step by step
    Step 1 - Chop down a couple trees with your fist (you will get an achievement for this)
    Step 2 - Hit (X) on Xbox version to open up crafting menu
    Step 3 - Create as much wooden planks as you can (Hit A on the first item that shows up)
    Step 4 - Build as much sticks as you can but leave about 4 wooden planks
    Step 5 - Keep your crafting menu open and create a crafting table. (You might need to go chop more trees down and make more wooden planks and sticks.)
    Step 6 - Go to your crafting table and hit (RB)
    Step 7 - First thing on your tools is the wooden pickax (Simply press A to equip one.)
    Step 8 - Chop down some stone (Its all over and its grey) 3 Blocks
    Step 9 - Once you get about 3 - 5 Cobblestone go back to your crafting table
    Step 10 - Press (RB) once your there and go back to where you made the wooden pickax.
    Step 11 - Press down on the (D-pad) and select any Pickax besides the wooden one. Easiest way is to just make a Stone Pickax (1 Down)
