An iron axe is a variant of axe and can be crafted from iron ingots. 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 third-highest tier of axe, having higher mining efficiency, attack speed, durability, and enchantability than a copper axe.

Equipment

[edit | edit source]

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.

Raids

[edit | edit source]

In Bedrock Edition, vindicators 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.

[edit | edit source]

Weaponsmith villagers occasionally throw iron axes at players with the Hero of the Village status effect.โ€Œ[Java Edition only]

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

Iron axes can break wood-related blocks faster than other tools. Breaking a block costs 1 durability.[note 1]

  1. โ†‘ Blocks that break instantly don't use up durability.

Stripping

[edit | edit source]

Using an iron 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.

Scraping

[edit | edit source]

Using an iron 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

[edit | edit source]

When used as a weapon, an iron 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.

  1. โ†‘ The formula to find the total lifetime damage is 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.

Iron axes attack instantly with no cooldown and deal 6HP๐Ÿ‘ โค๏ธ

Ingredients Anvil recipe

Iron Ingot

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