Last updated
Ever wondered how you can make your own axe in Minecraft? Whether you’re chopping down trees or defending yourself, an axe is a must-have in your Minecraft toolbox. Let’s dive into the simple steps to craft an axe in the blocky universe of Minecraft.
So, you’re looking to add an axe to your inventory in Minecraft, but not sure how? No worries! Crafting an axe is straightforward and essential for your survival and building endeavors in the game.
The Quick Guide to Crafting an Axe
To craft an axe in Minecraft, you’ll need the crafting table. First off, gather some wood by punching out a tree. Convert those logs into wooden planks by placing them in your crafting section. You’ll also need some sticks, which you can make by placing two wooden planks vertically in the crafting area.
Once you’ve got your sticks and planks, access the crafting table. Place a stick in the center and bottom-middle slot, then fill the top row and the middle-left slot with planks (or other appropriate material for the type of axe you’re making). Voila! You’ve crafted an axe. Remember, the material you use (wood, stone, iron, gold, or diamond) determines the axe’s durability and effectiveness.
