About Iron Axe

The Iron Axe is a sturdy woodcutting tool that also works well as a melee weapon. It chops logs, planks, and other wooden blocks much faster than punching, and it lasts for 250 uses before breaking.

Key facts:

  • Deals more damage per hit than a sword, but swings more slowly.
  • Use it on a log to strip it.
  • Can scrape wax and oxidation off copper blocks.

It is a solid everyday tool once you have some iron to spare.

How to get Iron Axe

You craft an Iron Axe on a crafting table using three iron ingots and two sticks. Place the ingots in the top-left corner of the grid, with the sticks running downward from the middle ingot. Iron axes can also be bought from toolsmith villagers, and vindicators sometimes drop one when defeated.
