Diamond Axe item in Minecraft

Present since 1.0 or earlier Stack size: 1 In 1 tutorial ↓

The Diamond Axe is an axe: the tool that cuts wood fastest, and a heavy weapon that hits harder than a sword of the same material but swings slower. Made from diamonds, it lasts 1561 uses and hits for 9 damage with a quicker swing, and it can be upgraded to netherite on a smithing table. It works like every other axe; the Iron Axe page explains stripping, scraping and shield breaking.

It is made with the Crafting Table from 2 × Stick and 3 × Diamond.
