A diamond axe is a tool crafted from sticks and diamonds, making it one of the most durable and efficient axes in Minecraft. It is primarily used to chop wood and wooden blocks quickly, but it also deals high melee damage, making it a powerful weapon. With high durability and fast chopping speed, a diamond axe is commonly used for long-term resource gathering. It can also be upgraded to a netherite axe for even greater durability and efficiency.
