Diamond Axe

A diamond axe is a variant of axe that is crafted from diamonds. It can be used to cut down trees faster, to strip logs and scrape copper-based blocks, and as a melee weapon that disables shields. It is the second-highest tier of axe, having higher mining efficiency, attack speed, and durability than an iron axe. It can be upgraded into a netherite axe using a netherite ingot and netherite upgrade at a smithing table.

Diamond axes can break wood-related blocks faster than other tools. Breaking a block costs 1 durability.[note 1]

Using a diamond axe on a log, wood block, or block of bamboo turns it into a stripped log, stripped wood, or block of stripped bamboo, respectively. This uses 1 point of the axe's durability.
