For easier extraction of boards, wood, fences, workbenches, bookcases and chests are used auxiliary tool- axe. And although its use is not a mandatory process, any player should know how to make an ax in Minecraft. If you don’t have a sword at hand, any ax can become a very good weapon for attacking and striking.
Important: the ax is a renewable resource and can be enchanted.
How to make an ax in Minecraft
Crafting an ax in the game is not a complicated process. It occurs in the ratio of 3 resources to 2 sticks. As auxiliary material(resource) can be used: iron ingots, planks, cobblestones, gold ingots or diamonds. Depending on the material used, the result is: iron, wood, stone, gold or diamond axe.
What is an ax for?
An ax is used to speed up the extraction of objects from wood and the tree itself. Using an axe, unlike a pickaxe, does not affect the extraction of firewood: for example, if you break boards with your hand, boards will also fall out of them. Despite the fact that purchasing an ax seems rather mediocre, using it in action can significantly save game time.
The greatest benefit from using an ax is expressed in the long term, since many elements extracted with an ax ( wood slabs, fences, boards, wood) also quickly break simply by hand. In Minecraft wooden ax can be set by pressing the wand command.
The ax is also used as a weapon. After the sword and bow, they can deal the most damage. Using an enchanted book, the ax can be enchanted with "Heavenly Punishment", "Arthropod Scourge" or "Acuity". An ax is not effective for blocking blows, but if you don’t have a sword, it’s perfect for striking. Crafting an axe, unlike crafting a sword, will require more materials. Hits made with an ax count as two uses in the game.
In addition, the ax is a renewable resource, i.e. it can be obtained and created an infinite number of times. If it runs out in one place, you need to look for it in another. However, a wooden ax can be crafted from grown trees, which eliminates the need to go to an unfamiliar place in search of a resource.
Ax type and strength
Every separate species The ax is designed for a certain number of blows. If a wooden ax can only be used 60 times, then a diamond ax can be used 1562 times. A stone ax is designed for 132 uses, a gold ax only for 33 blows, while an iron ax is more practical in this regard - 251 uses.
Ax in our real life- this is a tool for cutting down trees, and it is also a weapon of a real Russian man. Probably, if our compatriots had invented Minecraft, the ax would have been the coolest item in the game.
Purely Russian instrument
In Minecraft, wood is one of the most popular building materials. You need a lot of it. Therefore, this tool is used in the game, most often, precisely so that you, crafters, are not so tired when producing fences, boards, bookcases, chests, workbenches and in general wooden products. But, please note, the ax is needed precisely to facilitate their extraction, since, in principle, it is not at all necessary to use it.
If we compare the “Russian peasant’s weapon,” for example, with a pickaxe in Minecraft, then the former has no effect on receiving drops. You can break, say, boards with your bare hand, and in return you will still get fallen boards. But, if you calculate the amount of time saved thanks to the ax (when extracting wooden objects), then the value of this tool will instantly become clear.
But a cleaver in Minecraft is, so you know, not only a valuable fur, but also (attention, Russo man!) a very good weapon. The damage that can be done to them is the greatest. But, really, the bow and sword don’t count. After all, this is a “professional” weapon. In addition, you won’t be able to block enemy attacks with an ax in Minecraft. But otherwise, a wonderful marquise...
Let's watch a short video from our channel:
Yes, we forgot to say. If you attach an ax to the handle of a rake, you can craft just a super-duper-mega mower of all kinds of mobs. By placing such a miracle of weaponry near the door of your home, rest assured that your sleep will be serene. The enemy will not pass. All that remains is to find a rake and... a sense of humor so that you understand that this is just a joke :)
In Minecraft, enchanting an ax is allowed. Taking an enchanted book as an assistant, the formidable favorite of the Russians can be enchanted, for example, with “Heavenly Punishment”, “Witness” or (what is the name!) “Scourge of Arthropods”.
How is this done? "Device" of the ax
Now, finally, we will tell you about how to make an ax in Minecraft. Like, for example, a sword (we talked about it in the article on how to make a sword in Minecraft), the game allows you to make several types of it. If you wish, you can craft an ax:
- Wooden. This is the simplest variety. The safety margin is enough for 60 strokes. It's not much, but it's a piece of cake.
- Stone. This one is stronger and more brutal. It's enough for you to apply 132 strokes in Minecraft.
- Iron. Iron is iron and you can swing such a weapon 251 times before its strength runs out.
- Gold. This is the most glamorous axe. But it is also the least durable. 33 - This is exactly the number of blows it is designed for. Not thick at all. But all the girls in Minecraft will be yours.
- Diamond. Well, this is, of course, the strongest tomahawk. Using it for its intended purpose, the most important thing is not to run out of strength ahead of time, since it lasts for as long as 1562 hits. Everything is already at your feet: both girls and enemies.
Having gained an idea of the materials from which the cleaver is crafted, it’s time to start making it. To make a wooden hatchet in Minecraft, you need to take two sticks(read about them in the article on how to make a stick in Minecraft) and three boards, and then place them in the crafting area exactly as you can see in the picture.
This tool in Minecraft can be made in a similar way from other materials. Only instead of boards you need to use the appropriate materials: cobblestones, iron or gold bars and diamonds. Two sticks are present in all cases. It will not be idle talk to note that crafting an ax requires more material than crafting a sword. So, if you don’t have enough items, you can be a sword bearer.
So you have learned how to craft an ax in Minecraft. Don't forget to chop some wood.
We don't use axes often in Minecraft. However, do not underestimate this tool because it is versatile. Works as both a tool and a weapon. Therefore, in today's article we will look at all the axes and find out how to make an ax in Minecraft and how effective each of them is.
Let's talk about most best ax Minecraft. You will probably be surprised to learn that the best ax is golden. Have I intrigued you? Read on to find out more about him!
