A stone axe is a variant of axe that is crafted from cobblestone. 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 fifth-highest tier of axe, having higher mining efficiency, attack damage, and durability than a wooden axe.

Toolsmith and weaponsmith villagers occasionally throw stone axes at players with the Hero of the Village status effect.β[Java Edition only]
Stone axes can break wood-related blocks faster than other tools. Breaking a block costs 1 durability.[note 1]
Using a stone 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 stone 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 stone 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.

The durability of the two axes is added together, plus an extra 5% of durability. |
A stone axe can be repaired in an anvil by adding either cobblestone, cobbled deepslate, or blackstone, with each block restoring 25% of the axe's maximum durability, rounded down. Two stone axes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the axe's enchantments.
A stone axe can receive the following enchantments:
