About Wooden Axe

The wooden axe is the first chopping tool you can make. It breaks logs, planks, fences, and other wood blocks much faster than punching them, and right-clicking a log strips the bark to create a stripped log. It can also scrape wax or oxidation off copper blocks, just like any other axe.

A wooden axe can be used as a melee weapon in a pinch, though it hits slower than a sword. Its durability is low, so it will not last long once you start gathering a lot of wood or fighting with it.

How to get Wooden Axe

You can only get a wooden axe by crafting it. The recipe needs 3 wooden planks and 2 sticks, which makes it one of the first tools you can build after punching a tree. It is not found in regular dungeon or village chests, so crafting is your only route.
