Minecraft:Wooden Axe

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 scrape copper-based blocks, and as a melee weapon that disables shields. It is the seventh-highest tier of axe, having the lowest mining efficiency, the lowest attack damage alongside golden axes, and having the lowest attack speed alongside stone and copper axes. It can be used as fuel in a Minecraft:furnace, Minecraft:smoker, or blast furnace.

Unit repair

Template:Main Template:Repairing

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