Required Materials to make a Wooden Axe

How to craft a Wooden Axe in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

3x3 crafting area

2. Add Items to make a Wooden Axe

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a wooden axe, place 3 wood planks and 2 sticks in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When crafting with wood planks, you can use any kind of wood planks, such as oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, bamboo, crimson, warped or cherry planks. In our example, we are using oak planks.

When making a wooden axe, it is important that the wood planks and sticks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 2 wood planks placed in the first row (the last box in the row should be left empty). In the second row, 1 wood planks should be in the first box and 1 stick should be in the second box (the last box in the row should be left empty). In the third row, 1 stick should be in the middle box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a wooden axe.

Attack Damage and Durability

Attack damage is the amount of damage the item will deal when attacking a mob.

Durability represents how long the item will last. For tools, weapons and transportation, durability is the number of useful actions before the item is destroyed. For armor items, durability is the number of hits (that can be blocked by armor) before the item is destroyed. So the higher the durability number, the longer the item will last.

The following table shows the attack damage and durability for each axe in Minecraft:

Item Name Attack Damage Durability
netherite axe Netherite Axe 10 2031
diamond axe Diamond Axe 6 1561
