Hoes are tools used to till dirt and grass blocks into farmland blocks, the first step in farming. Tilling grass has a small chance to cause seeds to drop, which is the second step in farming.









Hoes are created with 2 sticks and 2 units of a tool material:

Trivia

  • Tilling a dirt block which has a dirt block on top of it will change it to farmland even though it can't be used. If a hoe is used on a block horizontally adjacent to such a block, the first block will revert to dirt and the selected block will not be tilled. The hoe will still take one point of damage from each use.
