An iron hoe is a variant of hoe that is crafted from iron ingots. It is used to till dirt-related blocks into farmland, and to break leaves, haybales, and sculk-related blocks faster. It is the third-highest tier of hoe, having higher mining efficiency, attack speed, durability, and enchantability than a copper hoe.

Usage

[edit | edit source]
Main article: Hoe Β§ Usage

Harvesting

[edit | edit source]

Hoes are used to harvest various plant blocks, Nether fungi, and sculk blocks more quickly. Breaking one of these blocks takes 1 durability.

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

Tilling

[edit | edit source]

Hoes are used to turn dirt, grass blocks, and dirt 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. 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 coarse dirt into regular dirt by pressing use 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 rooted dirt, which turns it into normal dirt, and yields a 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.[2]

Weapon

[edit | edit source]

Hoes may be used as a weapon, although they deal only 1HPπŸ‘ πŸ’”
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, iron hoes have an attack speed modifier -1 (refill in 0.33s).

Hoes always attack instantly in Bedrock Edition.

Repairing

[edit | edit source]

Combining

[edit | edit source]
Ingredients Crafting recipe Description
Damaged The durability of the two hoes is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.
Ingredients Grinding recipe Description
2x Damaged Iron hoe The durability of the two hoes is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.

Anvil repair

[edit | edit source]
Ingredients Anvil recipe
Damaged  +
Iron Ingot

A hoe can be repaired in an anvil by adding iron ingots, with each ingot restoring 62 durability (25% of its maximum durability, rounded down). Two iron hoes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the hoe's enchantments.

Issues

[edit | edit source]

Issues relating to "Iron Hoe" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • 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 while tilling dirt, it does not display the tool breaking animation like on other tools, because tilling is not predicted client-side.
