Minecraft:Golden Axe

A golden axe is a variant of Minecraft:axe that is crafted from gold ingots. 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 sixth-highest tier of axe, having the lowest durability, and having the lowest attack damage alongside wooden axes, despite having the highest mining efficiency and the highest attack speed alongside diamond and netherite axes. It can be admired by piglins, and has the highest enchantability.

Obtaining

Mob loot

Equipment

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote

A piglin brute spawns with a golden 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. Also, in Template:Editions, zombified piglins can drop their golden axe (with the same chance as piglin brute drop) if they have been zombified from a piglin brute.

Villager gifts

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

Usage

Breaking

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

Stripping

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

Scraping

Template:Ctrl a golden axe on a waxed or oxidized 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, a golden axe loses 2 durability points.

Java Edition

Attacking a Minecraft:shield user with an axe disables the use of the shield for 5 seconds. Vindicators, 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>

Repairing

Unit repair

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote Template:Repairing

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