=== Stripping and scraping ===
{{control|Using}} an axe on a [[Minecraft:log]] (stem), [[Minecraft:wood]] (hyphae) or block of bamboo causes it to become a stripped log (stripped stem), stripped wood (stripped hyphae), or block of stripped bamboo. {{ctrl|Using}} an axe on a copper-based block or a copper golem removes one layer of oxidation or [[Minecraft:honeycomb|wax]] from the block or the golem.

{{IN|java}}, if the player holds a [[Minecraft:shield]] in their off-hand and attempts to strip/scrape a block with an axe, they will enable the shield instead of stripping/scraping with the axe. However, if the player sneaks, they can strip/scrape blocks as normal.

An axe can be repaired in an [[Minecraft:anvil]] by adding units of the tiers' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% the axe's maximum durability, rounded down. Two axes of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the axe's enchantments, unlike by crafting to repair.

Revision as of 19:02, 9 April 2026

Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox item

An axe is a tiered Minecraft:tool that can quickly break wood-related and certain plant-related blocks, or be used as a melee Minecraft:weapon that temporarily disables Minecraft:shields. Axes have unique interactions with Minecraft:logs and blocks crafted from copper, turning them into stripped logs or removing a level of oxidation/coat of wax, respectively.

Variants

There are seven axe variants:

Obtaining

Wooden, golden, stone, copper, iron, and diamond axes are crafted using 2 Minecraft:sticks and 3 identical units of tool material. This recipe can be flipped horizontally.

Crafting

Template:Crafting

Smithing

Script error: No such module "Smithing".

Generated loot

Script error: No such module "lootChest".

Villager gifts

Script error: No such module "Exclusive". Toolsmith Minecraft:villagers occasionally throw stone axes at players with the Hero of the Village status effect.

Weaponsmith Minecraft:villagers occasionally throw either stone, gold, or iron axes at players with the Hero of the Village status effect.

Usage

Breaking

An axe is used to break Minecraft:logs, blocks derived from wood and some other blocks faster than by using other tools. An axe uses 1 durability to break 1 block. For blocks that break instantly, it uses 0 durability.

Attacking

Pressing {{#vardefine: control | left click on mouse or right trigger on gamepad }}attack while holding an axe inflicts damage on both mobs and other players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the axe's durability decreases by 2.

Attacking a Minecraft:boat or a Minecraft:minecart with any axe tier instantly destroys it Template:Only, without decreasing the axe's durability.

Disabling shields

File:Crushing blow (inflicting).gif
Performing a crushing blow.
File:Crushing blow (receiving).gif
Being hit by a crushing blow.

Axes have the special ability to do crushing blows<ref>Template:Citation</ref>, which disable the use of the target's shield for 5 seconds. Crushing blows are triggered only against targets that are actively holding their shield up.

Crushing blows affect all of the target's shields, rather than affecting only the one that was being used. Crushing blows do not trigger against targets whose shields are not yet past their 250ms activation delay. Crushing blows are triggered regardless of attack cooldown percentage and, unlike sweep attacks, they can be triggered at the same time as critical hits and sprint-knockback attacks.

Crushing blows work by inflicting a 5 second Minecraft:use cooldown. When a shield is stunned, it cannot be used by right clickingTemplate:Only or sneakingTemplate:Only. Performing a crushing blow does not consume durability from the axe, in the same way that other attacks do not consume durability when they're blocked by a shield.

Minecraft:Mobs that wield axes, such as vindicators or piglin brutes, perform crushing blows should they hit a player's shield. The melee attack of a Minecraft:warden also performs a crushing blow should it connect against a player's shield.

In the Java Edition Combat Tests, the stun duration from crushing blows is lengthened by the Cleaving enchantment, at an additional 0.5 seconds per level with a maximum level of III.

Statistics

Java Edition

in Template:Editions, wooden, stone, and copper axes have an attack speed of 0.8 (1.25 seconds), iron axes have an attack speed of 0.9 (1.111 seconds), and golden, diamond, and netherite axes have an attack speed of 1 (1 second). They have the following statistics:

Unenchanted
Type Mining efficiency Attack damage Attack speed DPS Attack range Hitbox margin Durability 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 assumes each attack is performed at maximum charge.</ref> Enchantability

Stripping and scraping

{{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}Using an axe on a Minecraft:log (stem), Minecraft:wood (hyphae) or block of bamboo causes it to become a stripped log (stripped stem), stripped wood (stripped hyphae), or block of stripped bamboo. Template:Ctrl an axe on a copper-based block or a copper golem removes one layer of oxidation or wax from the block or the golem. This consumes one point of durability from the axe.

in Template:Editions, if the player holds a Minecraft:shield in their off-hand and attempts to strip/scrape a block with an axe, they will enable the shield instead of stripping/scraping with the axe. However, if the player sneaks, they can strip/scrape blocks as normal.

Template:Repairing Template:Repairing

Template:Repairing Template:Repairing Template:Repairing An axe can be repaired in an Minecraft:anvil by adding units of the tiers' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% the axe's maximum durability, rounded down. Two axes of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the axe's enchantments, unlike by crafting to repair.

Enchantments

An axe can receive the following enchantments:

Trivia

  • Before Java Edition 1.13, in the language files, axes were referred to as Hatchets.<ref name="1.8 lang">1.8/assets/minecraft/lang/en_US.lang, line 915: item.hatchetIron.name= Iron Axe</ref>
  • Weaponsmith villagers gifting stone, iron and golden axes is a reference to the story The Honest Woodcutter, where a woodcutter dropped his axe into a river, and is successively provided a silver and a golden axe by the river god.
