What the axe is for in Minecraft

The axe chops logs and anything made of wood far faster than any other tool, and in Java it is also a weapon that hits hard but slowly. There are seven, in the same materials as the other tools, each crafted from three units of the material and two sticks.

Its special attack is the crushing blow: hit someone who has their shield raised and all their shields are disabled for 5 seconds. It works even if the attack is not fully charged and can land together with a critical hit. Against shield users it is the best answer.

Used on a log it strips the bark, and on a copper block it scrapes off a layer of oxidation or removes the wax. In Java, any axe breaks a boat or minecart in one hit without using durability.

Hitting with it costs two durability, twice as much as a sword, so if you fight with it, enchant it with Unbreaking or Mending. With the Hero of the Village effect, smiths may gift you stone, gold or iron axes.
