Hoes are tools used to till dirt and grass blocks into farmland blocks, the first step in farming wheat, melons, pumpkins, carrots and potatoes. They are an indispensable tool for farming.
Usage
The hoe is used to turn dirt and grass blocks into farmland for producing wheat, melons, pumpkins, carrots or potatoes. To till, right-click on a grass or dirt block while holding a hoe. The material used in the construction of the hoe has almost no effect on the utility of the hoe - the process of tilling is effectively instantaneous, regardless of material, and all hoes deal the same damage as fists if used in combat. As with all tools, the material used does, however, affect the durability of the hoe.
When using hoes to break normal blocks, such as Dirt, it will not affect the durability of the hoe but it will take as long as you would use fists on the block you are breaking with the hoe.
Because of the fact that all hoes take the same time to till dirt, it is usually impractical to construct gold hoes (low durability) or diamond hoes (waste of diamonds).

The '''dragon's breath''' is a [[brewing]] item that is used solely to make [[lingering potion]]s.
== Obtaining ==
The dragon's breath can be obtained by scooping up the [[ender dragon]]'s breath attack or the purple [[area effect cloud|effect clouds]] caused by [[dragon fireball]]s in an empty [[glass bottle]].
== Usage ==
=== Brewing ingredient ===
Dragon's breath may be added to any splash potion to upgrade it to a lingering potion, which can be used to create a lasting [[Lingering Potion#Area Effect Cloud|area effect cloud]], or to craft [[Arrow#Tipped arrows|tipped arrows]].
{{brewing

When put 2 or more dragon's breath in the brewing stand, after the brewing process, a glass bottle will drop as an [[Item (entity)|entity]]. However, if put only 1 dragon's breath in the brewing stand, after the brewing process, the glass bottle is consumed and cannot be retrieved.<ref>{{bug|MC-259583}}</ref>

{{Item

'''Emeralds''' are rare minerals that are used primarily as the currency for [[trading]] with [[villager]]s and [[wandering trader]]s. Naturally-occurring emeralds are rarer than [[diamond]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Trading ===
{{main|Trading}}
Emeralds can be obtained by trading with [[villager]]s, since they are the currency that villagers use for trading. Villagers either buy or sell specific goods for emeralds.
=== Mining ===
[[Emerald ore]] drops one emerald when mined using an iron or better [[pickaxe]]. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it may drop an extra emerald per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 emeralds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops itself in ore form instead of an emerald.
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|Block of Emerald
|Output= Emerald,9
|type= Material
}}
=== Smelting ===
{{Smelting
|Emerald Ore; Deepslate Emerald Ore
|Emerald
|1
}}
=== Natural generation ===
{{see also|Emerald Ore#Natural generation}}
Emeralds can generate in [[chest]]s in some [[village]] houses or other generated [[Generated structures|structures]].
{{needs update|inaccurate=1|section=1}}
{{LootChestItem|emerald}}
=== Drops ===
[[Vindicator]]s and [[evoker]]s drop 0–1 emeralds upon death. [[Looting]] increases the maximum emerald drop by one per level, for a maximum of 4 emeralds with Looting III.
[[Fox]]es that are holding emeralds also have a chance of 100% to drop the emerald they are holding upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a food item to entice the fox to drop the emerald without killing it.
{{IN|bedrock}}, vindicators and [[pillager]]s spawned from [[raids]] can drop 0–1 emeralds. Depending on difficulty, vindicators and pillagers spawned from raids also have a chance of dropping additional emeralds. There is a 65% chance of dropping on easy and normal, and an 80% chance of dropping on hard. If this additional drop condition is met, different emerald counts can drop with different chances. There is a {{frac|10|39}} chance to drop an additional 0–1 emeralds, a {{frac|5|39}} chance to drop an additional 2–3, and a {{frac|2|39}} chance to drop an additional 4–5.
{{IN|bedrock}}, with Looting III, it is possible for a vindicator in a raid to drop up to 16 emeralds upon death (vindicator drops + raid drops + an additional drop<!-- emerald from 2/39 chance-->).
== Usage ==
=== Trading ===
{{main|Trading}}
Emeralds are primarily used as currency for [[trading]] with villagers and wandering traders. Trading is typically a faster way to obtain emeralds than by mining, as an emerald ore is rarer than a diamond ore.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
===Beacons===
Emeralds can be used to select powers from a [[beacon]]. The player must select one of the available powers and then insert an emerald into the item slot.
An emerald can be substituted for an [[iron ingot]], a [[gold ingot]], a [[diamond]] or a [[netherite ingot]] in a beacon.

A '''diamond''' is a mineral that can only be obtained from [[Diamond Ore|diamond ore]], [[chest loot|loot chests]] and [[Suspicious Block|suspicious blocks]]. It is required to craft diamond [[tool]]s and [[armor]] (and therefore obtain [[obsidian]] to access the [[The Nether|Nether]]), [[enchanting table]]s, [[jukebox]]es and duplicate [[smithing template]]s.
== Obtaining ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Diamonds}}
=== Mining ===
{{see also|Diamond Ore#Natural generation}}
[[Diamond ore]] can be mined using an iron [[pickaxe]] or stronger. An ore drops a single diamond. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it can drop an extra diamond per level of Fortune, allowing for a maximum of 4 diamonds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops an ore block rather than a diamond. The ore is found at level 15 or lower, most commonly between -50 and -64; levels -58 and -59 are the preferred levels to mine at since they don't contain [[bedrock]], as it starts spawning at -60.
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|diamond}}
=== Suspicious sand ===
When brushing [[suspicious sand]] in [[desert pyramid]]s, they have a {{frac|1|7}} chance to drop a diamond.

== Usage ==
Diamonds are mainly used to craft high-tier armor and equipment, which in turn are also used in making [[netherite]] armor and equipment.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level armorer, toolsmith, and weaponsmith villagers buy one diamond for an emerald as part of their trades.
{{IN|java}}, journeyman-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance of offering to buy one diamond for one emerald. Expert-level toolsmith villagers have {{frac|2|3}} chance of offering to buy one diamond for one emerald. Expert-level weaponsmith villagers always offer to buy one diamond for one emerald.
=== Repairing ===
Diamonds are the repair items for the diamond [[tier]] and [[armor material]], and thus can be used to [[item repair|repair]] the following items in an [[anvil]] or [[grindstone]]:

==Trivia==
*Unlike in ''Minecraft'', newly mined [[Wikipedia:Diamond|diamond]]s in real life are rough, cloudy stones. The largest, purest ones are polished into crystal-clear gemstones, while the rest are used in industry for cutting and grinding.
*Although diamonds themselves are not renewable, all tools, weapons, and armor made from diamonds can be acquired through [[trading]], and are therefore renewable. Other items crafted from diamonds are not renewable.
*In the April fools version [[Java Edition 2.0]], [[Diamond Chicken|diamond chickens]] can lay diamonds. This does not exist in newer versions, as this was a joke.
*The item forms of diamonds and [[Turtle Egg|turtle eggs]] have the same shape.

[[Category:Non-renewable resources]]</li></ul> | Before, using a hoe on grass blocks was the only way to collect seeds for planting. When tall grass was introduced, this feature was removed. | ||||
Trivia
- Tilling a dirt block which has a dirt block on top of it will change 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 will revert to dirt and the selected block will not be tilled. The hoe will still take one point of damage from each use.
- When you till a dirt block, the top layer is removed. But due to the way farmland is textured, it appears as if the block sinks into the ground. The texture for the sides is shifted down instead of the top pixels being removed.
- Wooden hoes can be made from just one block of wood, because one block of wood equals four wooden planks, and two wooden planks equals four sticks, and using these you can craft a hoe.
- When a hoe breaks it does not display the tool breaking animation like on other tools, since tilling is not predicted client-side.
- It is impractical to have a gold hoe, as it takes the same time to till with all hoes, but gold has only a few uses. It is also impractical to have a diamond hoe, as it would be a waste to use such a valuable resource. However, diamond hoes can be useful if the player has a very large wheat farm and the player buys them from villager blacksmiths using emeralds obtained from selling some of the wheat.
- Since it can be used while moving, a hoe is a quick and easy method of temporarily marking your trail while moving through the overworld in low visibility areas such as heavy forests. Tilled tiles decay over time, so this isn't for permanent paths.
- When used as a weapon, hoes do not take durability damage.
- In Minecraft Pocket Edition, you can still use a hoe to obtain wheat seeds from grass blocks, the same as before beta 1.6.
- A hoe can not be enchanted using the enchanting table. The only enchant that can be placed on a hoe is unbreaking via enchanted book and anvil.
