FAQ

How do you craft a diamond axe?

Place 3 diamonds and 2 sticks in the shape shown on a crafting table: two diamonds on top, one diamond and one stick below them, and a final stick underneath.

Is a diamond axe better than a diamond sword?

It hits harder per swing (9 damage vs 7) but swings slower (1.0 attacks/second vs 1.6), so overall sword DPS is usually higher against a single target.

What happens when you hit a shield with a diamond axe?

The blow disables the target's shield for 5 seconds, leaving them unable to block during that window.

Can a diamond axe be upgraded further?

Yes. Combining it with a netherite ingot at a smithing table with a netherite upgrade template produces a netherite axe with higher damage and knockback resistance on drop.
