Basic Axe: Start with the Copper Axe, which is already in your starting inventory.

Find Trees

Common trees are found in surface biomes (Forest, Tundra, Jungle, etc.).

Approach the trunk and use the axe to hit the wooden blocks.

How to Chop

PC/Mobile: Click and hold on the trunk.

Console: Use the attack button aimed at the trunk.

Tip: Chop the base of the tree first to automatically chop it down.

Each chopped tree provides Wood (item) and sometimes Oak Seeds (for replanting).

Crafting Station: Use a Crafting Table to craft:

Structures: Doors, Chairs, Tables.

Replant Trees: Use Oak Seeds on Dirt/Grass blocks to create sustainable farms.

Special Axes: The Axe of Growth (found in Jungle chests) increases the chance of obtaining seeds.
