Netherite Axe item in Minecraft

Added in 1.16 Stack size: 1

The Netherite 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. Upgraded from a diamond axe with a netherite ingot, it is the best axe: 2031 uses, 10 damage, and it does not burn in fire or lava. It works like every other axe; the Iron Axe page explains stripping, scraping and shield breaking.

It is made with the Smithing Table from Netherite Upgrade, Diamond Axe and Netherite Ingot.
