Items I think that axe-power should get some love too. Ok, hear me out here.

I think we should get some armors and accesories and potions, etcetera. for AXE POWER. On a sky-block playthrough that has shimmer, you have to get A LOT of wood.

Wood -->

shimmers to dirt -->

dirt makes mud -->

you need mud to make a jungle -->

to make an arena for Queen Bee and Plantera
+ farm for weapons, and materials like spores and vines
+ bug-farm for fishing bait
(So the TL;DR is: The jungle is very valuable.) -->


Not even mentioning the raw materials you need for just building stuff. Grey brick, stone for builds and other things. You still have to get stone from Gem Trees.

I would LOVE if something was done to add interesting things to axe-power or tree-cutting related things like what is given to mining speed. There is TONS of stuff for mining speed outside of (progression gives you faster axes), and even the drill containment unit. I want cutting speed to get at least SOME love like mining.
After all, the very first time you log into a world, you get 3 items. A weapon. A pickaxe. And an axe.... It's like a starter pokémon of the game's mechanics!

I suggest things that gives buffs like the sharpening station, the party cake, an axe potion, and a "lumberjack" armor set that's basically just a plaid shirt, denim jeans and either a stocking cap or a beard. Perhaps also a perminent buff from throwing something into shimmer.

The pickaxe axe, drax, picksaw, and DCU all can mine wood.

I know, but there's nothing to increase axe-speed/power like with mining speed. There's nothing in the game that does this. And I searched. Like I said, there are progression items like those, but that's not saying too much.
 
Maybe the sharpening station could help with that.
 
There really is no need to be able to cut down trees quicker. I don't see a situation where you would need to cut down trees faster than you already can.
 
honestly by hardmode nothing like this is necessary
wood-chopping is a very fast chore and doesn't take long if you're far enough into the game
and chances are by that point you won't need any of these proposed suggestions

the reason mining speed has so many buffs and useful items is because of its general usefulness. mining and caving is a solid 40% of the game imo; tree chopping is maybe 0.3% if that
Considering you can obtain wood by mining abandoned houses or living trees, and looting some surface chests it is technically possible to never Chop and actually tree at all.
 
Axe power already caps out pretty early. The Axe of Regrowth and Lucy the Axe both outclass most Hardmode axes, being able to fell a tree in 4 hits and having better speed too. Once you have either of those, collecting wood becomes an extremely minor chore, and it only gets better from there. Not that collecting wood before that is difficult, either. Unless there was a potion that let you chop down trees instantly, any buffs to axe power wouldn't really do a whole lot.

Sky block challenge. You would not believe the number of hours you have to spend cutting trees. Cutting gem trees. Both Diamond AND the orange desert gem too if you want that gem. Because you can get the other gems from shimmering it, except for the orange one. Wood gets you stone, and dirt, and ths also mud. You have to build your own jungle to fight Plantera, get materials or farm enemies. It take a LOT just to make that. + Mushroom, + arrows, + grey brick for building or lava-proof platforms, which you then need to get lava slimes to get water if you don't have shimmer in the run.

+ money from gem farm. TRUST ME. Cutting trees faster makes a world of difference on that run. Especially if you're trying to get biome woods/wands for builds.

Have you tried using a lava bucket for your farms? It is really efficient in chopping trees
