What is Diamond Axe used for?
- Fastest tier for chopping wood, stripped logs and wood-derived blocks
- In Java Edition, axes deal 9 attack damage and can disable a shield for 5 seconds on hit
- Works as a weapon in a pinch, but swords are more durable-efficient in Java
Variants
- Wood, stone, iron, gold and netherite tiers; upgrade diamond to netherite on a smithing table
Java vs Bedrock
In Java the axe is a serious weapon (9 damage, shield disable). In Bedrock it deals less damage than a diamond sword, so keep it as a tool.
