Revision as of 11:24, 25 June 2026

Template:For Template:Infobox item A wooden axe is an early-game variant of Minecraft:axe that is crafted from Minecraft:planks. 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 seventh-highest Minecraft:tier of axe, having the lowest Minecraft:mining efficiency, the lowest attack damage alongside Minecraft:golden axes, and having the lowest attack speed alongside stone and Minecraft:copper axes. It can be used as Minecraft:fuel in a Minecraft:furnace, Minecraft:smoker, or Minecraft:blast furnace.
