Minecraft:Golden Hoe

A golden hoe is a variant of Minecraft:hoe that is crafted from Minecraft:gold ingots. It is used to Minecraft:till dirt-related blocks into Minecraft:farmland, and to break Minecraft:leaves, Minecraft:haybales, and sculk-related blocks faster. It is the sixth-highest Minecraft:tier of hoe, having the lowest durability, and having the lowest attack speed alongside Minecraft:wooden hoes, despite having the highest Minecraft:mining efficiency. It can be admired by piglins, and has the highest Minecraft:enchantability.

Obtaining

Usage

Harvesting

Hoes are used to harvest certain plant-based or organic blocks more quickly. Breaking one of these blocks takes 1 Minecraft:durability.

Breaking any other block takes 0 durability if the block breaks instantly when broken by hand, or 1 otherwise.

Tilling

Hoes are used to turn Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:grass blocks, and Minecraft:dirt paths into Minecraft:farmland. To till, press Template:Control on a grass or dirt block while holding a hoe. This does not work on Minecraft:mycelium or Minecraft:podzol,<ref>Template:Bug</ref> nor does it work if there are other blocks on top of the targeted blocks, including Minecraft:snow or Minecraft:torches. However, mycelium and podzol can be first converted to dirt paths with a Minecraft:shovel, then tilled into farmland with a hoe.

Hoes can be used to convert Minecraft:coarse dirt into regular dirt by pressing Template:Control on the coarse dirt. Similar to tilling dirt, the space above the coarse dirt must be empty for it to be tilled.

Hoes can also be used on Minecraft:rooted dirt, which turns it into normal dirt, and yields a Minecraft:hanging roots item.

Tilling is effectively instantaneous, regardless of material, and uses 1 durability. Breaking blocks with a hoe uses 0 or 1 durability, depending on the block.

Hoes are unable to work on blocks with a plant on top, even if that plant could normally be placed on top of farmland without reverting it to dirt.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Weapon

Hoes may be used as a weapon, although they deal only Template:Hp damage Template:In. Template:IN, hoes can do as much as a pickaxe in terms of damage. Hoes use 1 durability when used as a weapon.

Template:IN, golden hoes have an attack speed modifier -3 (refill in 1s).

Hoes always attack instantly Template:In.

Repairing

Anvil repair

A golden hoe can be repaired in an Minecraft:anvil by adding Minecraft:gold ingots, with each ingot restoring 8 durability (25% of its maximum durability, rounded down). Two golden hoes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the hoe's Minecraft:enchantments.

A hoe can receive the following Minecraft:enchantments:

Piglins

Template:EntityLink are attracted to golden hoes and run toward any golden hoes on the ground, and inspect them for 6 to 8 seconds before putting them in their inventory.

History

Trivia

• Tilling a Minecraft:dirt block that has a dirt block on top of it changes it to Minecraft:farmland even though it cannot be used. If a hoe is used on a Minecraft:block horizontally adjacent to such a block, the first block reverts to dirt and the selected block is not tilled.
• When a hoe breaks while tilling dirt, it does not display the tool breaking animation like on other tools, because tilling is not predicted client-side.
