Wooden Axe

A wooden axe is an early-game variant of axe that is crafted from planks. 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 seventh-highest tier of axe, having the lowest mining efficiency, the lowest attack damage alongside golden axes, and having the lowest attack speed alongside stone and copper axes. It can be used as fuel in a furnace, smoker, or blast furnace.

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

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