Key Takeaways
- Minecraft modders can transform game items like Axes into animated chainsaws for a fresh gaming experience.
- Popular Minecraft mods can enhance graphics, performance, and even add unique features like food saturation details.
- Resource Packs like turning Axes into chainsaws add visual flair to the game, but won't change gameplay mechanics.
A Minecraft modder has created a neat Resource Pack that turns all the game's Axes into animated chainsaws. Minecraft items are usually represented by flat textures that resemble Pickaxes, Shovels, and more, but this pack changes the appearance of Axes.
The Minecraft community has been modding the game since before it was officially released. Mods for the game range from Resource Packs that enhance the game's graphics and performance to slight quality-of-life adjustments. Some of the most downloaded Minecraft mods include Iron Chests, Storage Drawers, and AppleSkin. The first fittingly allows players to create Iron Chests which store more items than a standard one, while the second segments storage based on items, and the last provides food saturation details. Players can find most of these in the Marketplace, with prices usually increasing based on how much is included in a pack. One gamer has created a unique Resource Pack that turns all the Axes into chainsaws.

Minecraft Players Are Building Incredible Minecart Rollercoasters in Latest Snapshot
Some Minecraft players are building incredible Minecart rollercoasters in the latest snapshot build, which improves the item's mobility.
Reddit user MushirMickeyJoe recently shared a GIF highlighting their Resource Pack that turns Minecraft Axes into chainsaws. The GIF shows Wooden, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, and Netherite Minecraft Chainsaws. The motors and handles of the Chainsaws remain stationary as a saw rotates around the item's blade as a chain would on the real-world tool. Because the Resource Pack simply changes the appearance of the Axes, these Chainsaws wouldn't make shorter work of Minecraft trees despite their appearance. According to the Reddit user, their Chainsaw Resource Pack is based on the Husqvarna lineup of tools. Because this Resource Pack improves the aesthetic of the Axes with an animated frame, it may be enticing to players looking for livelier designs than the Vanilla ones.
This Minecraft Modder Made a Chainsaw Resource Pack
Beyond this Resource Pack, MushirMickeyJoe has created another pack that replaces the Pickaxes with drills that are similarly animated. Because the GIF strictly focuses on each Axe-turned-Chainsaw, it's unclear how the item would look when cutting wood. An Axe is typically swung downward from where a Minecraft player is pointing, with each hit doing more damage to a Wood block depending on the item's grade. A Wood Axe does less damage than a Stone one which is a tier below the Iron and Gold ones which pale in comparison to Diamond or Netherite. Players can upgrade a Diamond Axe to a Netherite Axe by using Minecraft's Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template.
MushirMickeyJoe has shared their Resource Pack with interested observers who responded to them. Given that a download is required to acquire the Chainsaw Axes, some players may be cautious to utilize this Resource Pack. As Mojang continues to update Minecraft, a Chainsaw item could be added in a future patch.
Minecraft
Minecraft is a game made up of blocks, creatures, and community. You can survive the night or build a work of art – the choice is all yours. But if the thought of exploring a vast new world all on your own feels overwhelming, then fear not!
Minecraft has no set goal and can be played however you’d like! This is why it’s sometimes called a “sandbox game” – there are lots of things for you to do, and lots of ways that you can play. If you like being creative, then you can use the blocks to build things from your imagination. If you’re feeling brave, you can explore the world and face daring challenges. Blocks can be broken, crafted, placed to reshape the landscape, or used to build fantastical creations.
Creatures can be battled or befriended, depending on how you play. The world of Minecraft allows for epic adventures, quiet meditations, and everything in between. You can even share your creations with other players, or play in community worlds!
