Minecraft:Netherite Hoe

A netherite hoe is a late-game variant of Minecraft:hoe obtained by upgrading a Minecraft:diamond hoe using a Minecraft:netherite ingot and Minecraft:netherite upgrade at a Minecraft:smithing table. 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 highest Minecraft:tier of hoe, having higher Minecraft:mining efficiency, durability, damageTemplate:Only and Minecraft:enchantability than a Minecraft:diamond hoe.

Obtaining

Upgrading

Like other diamond tools, a Minecraft:diamond hoe can be upgraded to a netherite hoe, increasing its Minecraft:durability and Minecraft:mining efficiency, as well as granting resistance to fire and lava when dropped as an item.

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 dirt, grass blocks, and 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 layers or Minecraft:torches. However, mycelium and podzol can be first converted to dirt paths with a 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.

In Java Edition, netherite hoes have an attack speed modifier 0 (refill in 0.25s).

Hoes always attack instantly in Bedrock Edition.

Repairing

Anvil repair

A netherite hoe can be repaired in an Minecraft:anvil by adding netherite ingots, with each ingot restoring 507Template:Only or 508Template:Only durablity (25% of its maximum durability, rounded down). Two netherite hoes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the hoe's Minecraft:enchantments.

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.
