Dataminer#481

Dataminer is an activated item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.

• The item name and description are a likely reference to the dataminers who discovered the secret of The Lost, as well as the Keeper ARG's recurring usage of the number 109.
• The item and its pickaxe icon are a play on words on the term data mining, used in the context of gaming communities as extracting data from the game files.
• The item's sprite is a recolor and flipped version of the Notched Axe.
• If used during the Mom fight, a normally hidden part of the leg sprite, revealing a blue skirt with yellow polka dots, will be visible.
• If Dataminer is used right before traveling to the next floor, the music for the transition screen will be affected by it.
• Also affects the music during the Game Over screen (Isaac's last will), if activated before death.
• In a Q&A from Twitter, Edmund McMillen considered Dataminer to be the worst item in The Binding of Isaac. Glitch Items Items
