An '''iron axe''' is a variant of [[Minecraft:axe]] and can be crafted from iron ingots. It can be used to cut down trees faster, to [[Minecraft:Axe#Stripping and scraping|strip]] [[Minecraft:log]]s and scrape copper-based blocks, and as a melee weapon that disables shields. It is the third-highest tier of axe, having higher mining efficiency, attack speed, durability, and enchantability than a copper axe.

A vindicator spawns with an iron axe and has an 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II, and 11.5% with Looting III) of dropping it upon death by the player. It is usually heavily damaged and is sometimes enchanted.

{{IN|be}}, vindicators and pillagers that spawn in raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% on hard) to drop a badly-damaged iron axe, which is sometimes enchanted with a random enchantment. A vindicator can drop 2 iron axes, one from natural equipment and one from raid drops.

An iron axe can be repaired in an [[Minecraft:anvil]] by adding iron ingot, with each ingot restoring 25% of the axe's maximum durability, rounded down. Two iron axes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the axe's enchantments.

Template:For Template:Infobox item

An iron axe is a variant of Minecraft:axe and can be crafted from Minecraft:iron ingots. It can be used to cut down trees faster, to strip Minecraft:logs and Minecraft:scrape copper-based blocks, and as a melee weapon that disables Minecraft:shields. It is the third-highest Minecraft:tier of axe, having higher Minecraft:mining efficiency, attack speed, durability, and Minecraft:enchantability than a Minecraft:copper axe.

Obtaining

Crafting

Template:Crafting

Generated loot

Template:LootChestItem

Mob loot

Equipment

Template:Main

A Minecraft:vindicator spawns with an iron axe and has an 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II, and 11.5% with Looting III) of dropping it upon death by the player. It is usually heavily damaged and is sometimes enchanted.

Raids

Template:IN, Minecraft:vindicators and Minecraft:pillagers that spawn in raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% on hard) to drop a badly-damaged iron axe, which is sometimes enchanted with a random enchantment. A vindicator can drop 2 iron axes, one from natural equipment and one from raid drops.

Trading

Template:Trade sources

Villager gifts

Minecraft:Weaponsmith Minecraft:villagers occasionally throw iron axes at players with the Minecraft:Hero of the Village status effect.Template:Only

Usage

Breaking

Iron axes can break wood-related blocks faster than other tools. Breaking a block costs 1 durability.Template:Note <references group="note"/>

Stripping

Template:Ctrl an iron axe on a Minecraft:log, Minecraft:wood block, or Minecraft:block of bamboo turns it into a Minecraft:stripped log, Minecraft:stripped wood, or Minecraft:block of stripped bamboo, respectively. This uses 1 point of the axe's durability.

Scraping

Template:Ctrl an iron axe on a waxed or oxidized Minecraft:copper block removes the wax if it has any, or otherwise removes a level of oxidization. This uses 1 point of durability.

Weapon

When used as a weapon, an iron axe loses 2 durability points.

Template:JE

Attacking a Minecraft:shield user with an axe disables the use of the shield for 5 seconds. Minecraft:Vindicators, Minecraft:piglin brutes, or other Minecraft:mobs with commands always disable the player's shield. Damage done when using an axe as a weapon is more than that of a Minecraft:sword of the same tier, though they take longer than a sword to recover, resulting in lower DPS.

Attack Damage Attack Speed Recovery time DPS Lifetime damage inflicted<ref group="note">The formula to find the total lifetime damage is ceil(durability ÷ 2) × damage per hit. The durability is halved then ceiled because axes take double durability when used as a weapon, and the last 1 durability can also deal damage. The formula also ignores enchantments and critical hits, and assumes each attack is performed at maximum charge.</ref>
Template:Hp 0.9 Template:Convert 8.1 Template:Hp

Template:Notelist

Template:BE

Iron axes attack instantly with no cooldown and deal Template:Hp damage.

Repairing

Combining

Template:Crafting Template:Grinding

Unit repair

Template:Main Template:Repairing

An iron axe can be repaired in an Minecraft:anvil by adding Minecraft:iron ingot, with each ingot restoring 25% of the axe's maximum durability, rounded down. Two iron axes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the axe's Minecraft:enchantments.

Enchantments

An iron axe can receive the following enchantments:
