Axes have been insanely nerfed on the Bedrock edition( Idk what about java so that's why I post this on Bedrock). Finding a good weapon now is hard, very hard. For me at least, it ruins all of the fun and instead of getting kills I need to run half of the map to find a sword better than sharp 1 stone sword. I think the old op axes should be back and if not, at least make the good swords( sharp 1 iron and better) much more common.
