Netherite Axe Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a netherite axe with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, a netherite axe is a new tool that was introduced in the Nether Update. It will be the most durable of all of the axes which means that it will last the longest before being destroyed. A netherite axe has attack damage of +10 when used as a weapon. Starting in Minecraft 1.20, the way to craft a netherite axe has changed and now includes the new smithing template as an ingredient.
Let’s explore how to make a netherite axe.

Attack Damage and Durability
Attack damage is the amount of damage the item will deal when attacking a mob.
Durability represents how long the item will last. For tools, weapons and transportation, durability is the number of useful actions before the item is destroyed.
