What is Wooden Axe in Minecraft?
A wooden axe is one of the very first tools you will ever craft in a new Minecraft world. It is a simple tool made from wood planks and sticks. Its main job is to help you chop down trees and break other wooden blocks much, much faster than you could with your bare hands. This is incredibly important at the start of the game, as you need a lot of wood to build your first shelter and craft your first set of tools. The wooden axe is a symbol of a new beginning and the first step towards building your world.
How to get Wooden Axe in Minecraft
Crafting a wooden axe is extremely easy and is one of the first things you should do. You will need three wood planks of any type and two sticks. You can get wood planks by putting a log in your crafting grid, and you can get sticks by crafting them from planks. Once you have your materials, open a crafting table. Place the three wood planks in an 'L' shape, for example in the top left, top middle, and middle left slots. Then, place the two sticks in the center and bottom center slots below the planks. You can also sometimes find a wooden axe in the bonus chest if you choose to start your world with one.
How to use Wooden Axe in Minecraft
The main way to use a wooden axe is to hold it and break wood blocks like logs, planks, and fences. It makes gathering wood feel much faster and easier. You can also use a wooden axe to strip the bark off of a log by right clicking on it, which creates a nice looking block for building. A wooden axe can also be used as a weapon. It is not as good as a sword, but it is better than your fist if a zombie surprises you. In Java Edition, it actually deals a good amount of damage, but it swings very slowly.
