The durability of the two hoes is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.

Upgrading

Like other diamond tools, a diamond hoe can be upgraded to a netherite hoe, although the only benefit is the increased durability (plus getting an advancement in Java Edition). The hoe's performance as a gardening tool or a weapon is unchanged by the upgrade. Template:Smithing

Repairing

Unit repair

A hoe can be repaired in an anvil by adding units of the tiers' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the hoe's maximum durability, rounded down.

Trading

Novice-level toolsmith villagers have a chance to sell a stone hoe for one emerald, and journeyman-level toolsmiths have a chance to sell a diamond hoe for 4 emeralds. In Bedrock Edition, these are 25% chances, and in Java Edition, these are 40% chances.

Villager gifts

Toolsmith villagers occasionally throw stone hoes at players with the Hero of the Village status effect.‌[Java Edition only]

Usage

Tilling

Hoes are used to turn dirt, grass blocks and grass paths into farmland. To till, press use on a grass or dirt block while holding a hoe. This does not work on mycelium or podzol,[1] nor does it work if there are other blocks on top of the targeted blocks, including snow layers or torches.

Hoes can be used to convert coarse dirt into regular dirt by pressing use on the coarse dirt.

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 intentionally designed to be unable to work on blocks with a plant on top, even if that plant could normally be placed on top of farmland with no ill effects to the block.[2]

Harvesting

Hoes also function as effective sickles or scythes, and can be used to harvest the following predominantly plant-based blocks more quickly. Breaking one of these blocks takes 1 durability.

  1. Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.

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

Weapon

Hoes may be used as a weapon, although they deal only 19px damage in Java Edition. In Bedrock Edition, hoes can do as much as a pickaxe in terms of damage. Hoes use 1 durability when used as a weapon.

In Java Edition, hoes have an attack speed modifier depending on the material: wood and gold have a modifier of -3 (refill in 1s), stone has a modifier of -2 (refill in 0.5s), iron has a modifier of -1 (refill in 0.33s), and diamond and netherite has a modifier of 0 (refill in 0.25s).

Attack damage Attack speed Damage/Second (DPS)
19px 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

Hoes always attack instantly in Bedrock Edition.

Enchantments

A hoe can receive the following enchantments and curses:

Issues

Issues relating to "Hoe" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

  • Tilling a dirt block that has a dirt block on top of it changes it to farmland even though it cannot be used. If a hoe is used on a block horizontally adjacent to such a block, the first block reverts to dirt and the selected block is not tilled.
  • When a hoe breaks, it does not display the tool breaking animation like on other tools, because tilling is not predicted client-side.
  • The textures for the post 1.14 iron and stone hoes have an error, where color for the edge of the handle is partly the same color as the edge of the top part. This isn't present in any other tool.
