Gravedigger's Shovel: Useful tool & potion crafting planner

Crafting Gravedigger's Shovel starts with Any Iron Bar × 12 + Any Wood × 3. This page groups its recipe alternatives and stations; enter an output target to round up crafts and see the direct shopping list.

The snapshot targets desktop Terraria 1.4.5. Paint, furniture, food and cosmetic recolor pages are omitted. Ingredient-group members are alternatives, not all required together. The planner does not assume material-saving bonuses, recursive crafting or a complete boss/unlock progression.

Using this reference

Before gathering materials for Gravedigger's Shovel, choose the recipe or variant you actually intend to make. Alternative recipes are separate shopping lists: combining their inputs would overstate the cost. The quantity you enter is the number of finished items you want, so a recipe that produces several at once may leave a small surplus.

Start with the ingredients you have the least of. A large stock of one material cannot make up for a shortage of another. The list covers the final crafting step; if an ingredient is itself crafted, open its reference separately before planning a gathering trip.

One useful comparison

For Damage, Gravedigger's Shovel is listed at 12, compared with 10 for Cobalt Drill: a difference of 2. This compares that field in the recorded variants only. Read the other fields before deciding whether the trade-off matters to your use.
