How to craft Wooden Axe

How do you make Wooden Axe in Minecraft?

To craft Wooden Axe, place the ingredients in a crafting grid following the recipe pattern shown above. The crafting grid can be a player's 2×2 inventory crafting slots (for 2×2 recipes) or a 3×3 Crafting Table. If cheats are enabled, you can also spawn Wooden Axe directly with: /give @p minecraft:wooden_axe.

What is the Minecraft ID for Wooden Axe?

The namespaced ID is minecraft:wooden_axe, used in the /give command: /give @p minecraft:wooden_axe. In legacy versions before 1.13, Wooden Axe used the numeric ID 271. Numeric item IDs were removed in the 1.13 "Flattening" and no longer work in modern commands.

Why does Wooden Axe have a stack size of 1?

Items with stack size 1 are typically tools, weapons, armor, buckets, or unique items. They can't be combined into stacks because the game tracks their durability or contents individually.
