Hoe

Hoes are tools used to till dirt and grass blocks into farmland blocks.

Unit repair
A hoe can be repaired in an anvil by adding units of the corresponding material, each restores 25% its 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. $$, these are 25% chances, and $$, these are 40% chances.

Tilling
Hoes are used to turn dirt, grass blocks and grass paths into farmland. To till, press on a grass or dirt block while holding a hoe.

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

Tilling is effectively instantaneous, regardless of material, and uses 1 durability. Breaking blocks with a hoe uses 0 durability.

Weapon
Hoes may be used as a weapon, although they deal only damage, no more than hitting while barehanded. Hoes use 1 durability when used as a weapon.

In the 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 has a modifier of 0 (refill in 0.25s).

Hoes always attack instantly in the Legacy Console and Bedrock editions.

Enchantments
A hoe can receive the following enchantments and curses:

Fuel
Wooden hoes can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1 item per hoe.

Trivia

 * Tilling a dirt block, which 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, since tilling is not predicted client-side.
 * Although the word "hoe" is very recognizable in Minecraft, the word appears as "censored" on a sign in the Legacy Console Edition.
