Description of your suggestion.

Simple as that. I didn't realize till now that swords get a % based increase on their damage if they have the right attributes and as an axe player, it would be nice to get those changes on an axe as well, even if there needs to be a reduction for balancing purposes or otherwise.

Figured it out on my own after sniffing around the the .jar files. Just added the "c:axes" tag to all the melee weapon attributes

you don't have to modify the jar itself, just create a separate datapack.
