Choose the Right Paxel Material for Your Situation

Material Progression

Craft paxels from different materials as you progress:

• Wood: Easiest to craft early-game; low durability
• Stone: Better durability; good for early mining
• Iron: Significant durability increase; mines most ores
• Diamond: High durability and mining speed; handles all vanilla blocks
• Netherite: Best durability and speed; won't burn in lava

Matching Your Task

For general gathering: Iron or Diamond paxels handle most tasks efficiently without overkill.

For mining deep: Use Diamond or Netherite to access all ore types quickly.

For early-game speed: Jump to Stone paxels as soon as possible—they're worth the small material investment.

For lava mining: Only Netherite paxels are lava-safe, making them essential for Nether exploration.

Durability Considerations

Since paxels combine three tools into one, they consume durability faster than individual tools would. Higher-tier materials last longer per use, making Diamond and Netherite better long-term investments despite higher crafting costs.
