Top row: Oak Planks, Oak Planks. Middle row: Oak Planks, Stick. Bottom row: empty, Stick. A left-to-right mirror of this also works.

What you need

• Oak Planks×3
• Stick×2

Worth knowing

• Java matches shaped recipes mirrored as well, so the axe head may face left or right.
• Any plank type works, including bamboo, crimson and warped planks.
• 59 uses. Fastest tool for logs, planks, chests, bookshelves and pumpkins.
• The shape matters but its position does not — this works in any corner of the grid, as long as the arrangement is the same.
