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 ...

Comment by Justerfrog [ 16/Mar/19 ]

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

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been closed as Postponed.

Going forward we're going to be tracking parity issues and feature requests on the Minecraft Feedback Site, and we'll only be tracking bugs here at bugs.mojang.com.

We're already working on achieving parity across versions where possible, and we're very keen to hear your requests or suggestions, so we'd encourage you to make a post at https://feedback.minecraft.net, or upvote an existing topic there.

If you're not sure whether your issue is a parity request or a bug, hopefully this article will help explain further: Parity Request Guide

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

This is supposed to happen! Axes are being buffed

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).

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

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