Change the spawn gear in skywars

This would affect both SkyWars and SkyWars Kits

Suggestion

Remove the stone axe from the starter tools, and
Replace the stone sword with an iron axe

Why

Currently mining wood with the stone axe isn’t really fast like mining stone. An iron axe would reduce that problem.

This change would reduce inventory clutter.
Having both tools be iron is nice to look at.
Iron axes and stone swords both deal the same damage so it’s no different combat wise.

People are probably going to hate this suggestion for some reason.
Please don’t have a fit in the replies.

I can’t see the hive doing this for a few reasons

A) User-friendly, there’s probably some young kids who play the server who wouldn’t understand that u could use the axe as a weapon

B) Keeping the material hierarchy the same as vanilla i.e. Stone, Iron, Diamond

C) PvP texture packs, most of them only have short swords, so changing it would mean a lot of texture packs would have to change to have short axes and swords

D) It would make it harder to see what weapon someone has from a distance, having two iron tools

E) Most people use the axe for breaking chests, not chopping wood

F) The way it is currently has good game design behind it, encouraging players to use the sword by making the tools do less damage.

Not a fit, an actually well constructed argument against it
