Axes Are Weapons Mod tackles the issue of axes wearing out too quickly during combat by reducing their durability loss from 2 points to 1, just like swords. It also allows players to obtain loot using axes as weapons.
Additional features include:
- Optional effects like Knockback and Fire Aspect can be enabled in the config.
- Modified sword enchantments are available for axes.
- Damage enchantments such as Sharpness, Bane of Arthropods, and Smite now appear directly in the enchanting table, eliminating the need for enchanted books.
