Overview
Diamond Axe is a tool in the Tools category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it. It cannot be stacked, so each Diamond Axe occupies a full inventory slot on its own. With a base durability of 1561 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted.
Its 1561-point durability sets how many actions it survives before breaking, and pairing it with Unbreaking multiplies that effective lifespan while Mending repairs it from collected experience. Diamond gear is high tier, capable of handling the toughest blocks and mobs, and any diamond tool or armor piece can be upgraded to Netherite at a smithing table. Diamond Axe additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Netherite Axe. When enchanted, it can carry 9 different enchantments, including Efficiency, Sharpness, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods. Of the 4 kinds of generated chest that can hold it, trial chamber intersection chests are the best bet at about 11% per chest.
