A diamond axe is a variant of axe that is crafted from diamonds. It can be used to cut down trees faster, to strip logs and scrape copper-based blocks, and as a melee weapon that disables shields. It is the second-highest tier of axe, having higher mining efficiency, attack speed, and durability than an iron axe. It can be upgraded into a netherite axe using a netherite ingot and netherite upgrade at a smithing table.

Diamond axes can break wood-related blocks faster than other tools. Breaking a block costs 1 durability.[note 1]
Using a diamond axe on a log, 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.
Using a diamond 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.
When used as a weapon, a diamond axe loses 2 durability points.
Attacking a shield user with an axe disables the use of the shield for 5 seconds. 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.

ceil(durability รท 2) ร 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.
Diamond axes attack instantly with no cooldown and deal 7HP๐ โค๏ธ

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