Axes are most useful for cutting trees and other wood objects (such as breaking down a crafting table, fencing or wooden planks).
Hoes are most useful for tilling soil to both potentially harvest seeds and to prepare it for planting new Seeds.
Pickaxes have the ability to mine a wide range of Ores and Rocks.
