Wrong enchantments on axe

Can confirm for 1.1.5 too (this is happening since enchantments were added)

Confirmed. The enchants available for axes from the table should be limited to:

• Fortune

• Silk Touch

• Efficiency

• Unbreaking

With the following only available via books + anvil:

• Sharpness

• Smite

• Bane of Arthropods

• Mending

This bug has been reported to our internal bug tracker for further testing and a fix. It is scheduled to be fixed in one of the future updates (no specific date can be provided).

Still happens in 1.5.1
I know Axes will be buffed but since the last year nothing changed, and it's annoying getting sword enchantments instead of useful things

Thank you for your report!

This was happening when enchanting was added on pocket... so most likely wai as they can be used as weapons

Please this still happens in 1.11 and hasn't been solved ... you can't get a good fast axe due to this bug since you keep getting Sharpness and such ...
