Mob loot[]

Equipment[]

A vindicator spawns with an iron 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. It is usually heavily damaged and is sometimes enchanted.

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 Java Edition, zombified piglins can drop their golden axe (with the same chance as piglin brute drop) if they have been zombified from a piglin brute.

Raids[]

In Bedrock Edition, Vindicator and pillagers that spawn in raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% on hard) to drop a badly-damaged iron axe, which is sometimes enchanted with a random enchantment. A vindicator can drop 2 iron axes, one from natural equipment and one from raid drops.

Usage[]

Chopping[]

An axe is used to break 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.

Durability[]

Each tier of axe has a different durability:

Material Durability
Wood 59
Stone 131
Iron 250
Diamond 1561
Golden 32
Netherite 2031

Stripping[]

Using an axe on a log, wood block, block of bamboo\, or block of copper causes it to become a stripped log, stripped wood block, block of stripped bamboo, or removes one layer of oxidization or wax, respectively. This consumes one point of durability from the axe.

Weapon[]

An axe loses 2 points of durability when used as a weapon.

Bedrock Edition[]

In Bedrock Edition, axes always attack instantly and deal 1♥ less damage than a sword of the same quality but it lowers the durability of armor and shields faster than any other tool in-game.

Material Damage
Wooden 4♥♥
Golden
Stone 5♥♥♥
Iron 6♥♥♥
Diamond 7♥♥♥♥
Netherite 8♥♥♥♥

Java Edition[]

Attacking a shield user with an axe should have a chance to disable the use of the shield for 5 seconds, but currently this always disables a shield.[1] The base chance is 25%, plus 5 percentage points per level of Efficiency on the axe, plus 75 percentage points if attacking while sprinting. Vindicators, piglin brutes, or other mobs with commands always disable the player's shield. Damage done when using an axe as a weapon is more than that of a sword of the same tier, though they take longer than a sword to recover, resulting in lower DPS (with the exception of golden axes). The damage dealt and cooldown time depends on the type:

Material Wooden Gold Stone Iron Diamond Netherite
Attack Damage 7♥♥♥♥ 7♥♥♥♥ 9♥♥♥♥♥ 9♥♥♥♥♥ 9♥♥♥♥♥ 10♥♥♥♥♥
Attack Speed 0.8 1.0 0.8 0.9 1.0 1.0
Recovery time 1.25 seconds (25 game ticks) 1 second (20 game ticks) 1.25 seconds (25 game ticks) 1.11 seconds (22.2 game ticks) 1 second (20 game ticks) 1 second (20 game ticks)
DPS 5.6 7.0 7.2 8.1 9.0 10.0
Lifetime damage inflicted[note 1] 210♥ × 105 112♥ × 56 594♥ × 297 1125♥ × 562.5 7029♥ × 3514.5 10160♥ × 5080
  1. 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.

Enchantments[]

An axe can receive the following enchantments:

Name Max Level Method

Silk Touch[note 1] I

Issues relating to "Axe" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia[]

  • Before Java Edition 1.13, in the language files, axes were referred to as Hatchets.[3]
  • 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.[citation needed]
