Whatever I just said, I didn't mean any offense. Unless we're fighting, in which case I probably did.
If I said something was a joke when it didn't seem like one, I'm making an excuse to avoid an argument I know is coming. Instead of telling me how not funny I am and how it didn't seem like a joke at all, just go along with it. Because flame wars suck and nobody wants to be a part of one.
Roughly 95% of Minecraft players hate Villagers and would be very happy if they were removed. If you are one of the 5% who actually like villagers, copy this into your signature.-RainbowGirl
The damn image won't work-screw my iPad!-but you should click this link. Now. Or you'll regret it...because this suggestion is epic.
I don't understand. Logically, a sword should do more damage. It just confuses me.
Not really. The blade of an axe should deal a more deadly and concentrated blow due to the head being heavier than a sword, assuming the person using it can proficiently swing it.
Now whether or not that should happen on an axe used for tree chopping is up for debate, but unless they add actual battleaxes to the game we'll have to go with it.

In my opinion axes are better against single enemies, and swords are better against multiple enemies. See axes do more damage (and have the benefit of disabling shields) but they're too slow to efficiently fight more than one person. Swords however are faster so you can keep multiple people away, and their special ability is an area of effect knockback.
Also I think of swords as more of a defensive weapon, while axes are more offensive. It comes down to personal preference IMO. I dual wield an axe and flint and steel because I'm a mean person.

In terms of material costs though, swords are more efficient, needing only 1 stick and 2 material (vs. axe's 2 and 3), for twice as many hits before it breaks.
Get a villager selling Diamond Axes with Unbreaking though? Go nuts.
Inb4 you can apply Knockback enchantments to an axe. After that Axes will be OP in 1v1 melee situations, because if you can knockback someone far enough, a low attack speed will never matter.
Infinity bows remain in its seat as the best weapon.
Axes are still good due to its utility.
Yep! KATNISS POWER!

As long as you have a good supply of arrows, there is really nothing you can't kill (other than snipers).
You don't even need Power or Flame.
True, but it's COOLER! XD

You Have a good point there, and your right as well. Now that I think about it... you are absolutely correct. However, swords allow more hits per second, meaning that if you are in close combat, they are more effective.
In PVP, Axes are overwhelmingly better than swords, but only when coupled with shields. All you have to do is attack, bring up your shield while the weapon is recharging, and then slash again. Plus they disable shields.

Of course, if both combatants in a 1v1 were using axes, there would be mutual shield-disabling, so one has to wonder how it'd work out.
Now I don't do PvP for reasons, but I'd be fairly certain it would become quite different when multiple people are involved.
I don't think axe-and-shield would quite entirely be the best if dealing with more than one opponent, since what's preventing the second guy from cracking open your skull while your shield's disabled from the first guy's axe?

As someone who has done quite a bit of PVP, if you're facing off against two opponents at once your fate depends entirely on your armor, not your weapon. You have to be able to take an absurd amount of damage; or at least, more than they can deal before they die. I haven't tried 1v2 on 1.9, but I have a feeling it's the same.
What if you attack and quickly switch your hotbar and back? I haven't tried that yet but if you quickly change to another slot then back to the axe the speed might reset. I wonder if that will work. I think mojang will change it so fighting with axe uses only one durability. AXE ALL THE WAY

You've always been able to enchant axes, and they've also always had the sharpness enchantment.
Doesn't that only work in creative mode?
