Data Values
Item Data
Item data is used to determine the durability of the axe. If using the /give
command, this can be specified using the third parameter. Positive integers are how much durability the axe has taken away from full durability, and negative integers are how much durability the axe has left. For example, the command /give wooden_axe 1 10
gives one wooden axe with ten durability taken away from full durability.
