Stone Axe item in Minecraft

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

The Stone 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. Its head can be cobblestone, blackstone or cobbled deepslate. With 131 uses it already hits for 9 damage, more than an iron sword, at a slow swing. 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 × Cobblestone or Blackstone or Cobbled Deepslate.
