Overview
Stone Axe is a tool in the Tools category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it. It cannot be stacked, so each Stone Axe occupies a full inventory slot on its own the way tools and other damageable items do. With a base durability of 131 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted to extend its working life before it breaks. This item was added to the game in the early Alpha development period.
In this database, Stone Axe sits alongside 34 other Tools entries, each with its own page. Its 131-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. Stone gear is an early upgrade over wood, crafted cheaply from cobblestone and lasting noticeably longer in everyday use. When enchanted, it can carry 9 different enchantments, including Efficiency, Unbreaking, Mending, and Fortune, which together can dramatically change how it performs.
