Netherite Axe at a glance
Tools holds Netherite Axe: a tool out of smithing. No stacking for Netherite Axe: a slot goes the moment a second one comes in, and a chest row of nine holds nine. It lasts 2031 uses before it breaks, and an anvil brings it back; it takes enchantments too.
Its 2031-point durability sets how many actions Netherite Axe survives before breaking, and Unbreaking multiplies those 2031 while Mending repairs Netherite Axe from the experience you pick up. Netherite gear is the top tier in the game: it is fireproof, floats in lava without burning, and offers the highest durability and combat or mining performance of any material. When enchanted, Netherite Axe can carry 9 different enchantments, among them Efficiency, Fortune, Silk Touch, and Sharpness. It sits between Milk Bucket and Netherite Hoe in Tools, number 21 of 35 there.
