'''Netherite hoes''' are [[tools]] used to break plant-based blocks such as [[hay bales]] quicker and are also used to till dirt into farmland. They can also quickly break other blocks such as [[sculk]]-related blocks.
== Obtaining ==
=== Upgrading ===
Like other diamond tools, a [[diamond hoe]] can be upgraded to a netherite hoe, increasing its [[durability]] and slightly increasing its mining speed, as well as granting resistance to fire and lava when dropped as an item.

== Usage ==
{{Main|Hoe#Usage}}
=== Harvesting ===
Hoes are used to harvest certain plant-based or [[Organic Block|organic 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 ===
Hoes are used to turn dirt, grass blocks, and dirt paths into [[farmland]]. To till, press {{control|use}} on a grass or dirt block while holding a hoe. This does not work on [[mycelium]] or [[podzol]],[{{bug|MC-8231||Mycelium and podzol cannot be tilled with hoes}}] nor does it work if there are other blocks on top of the targeted blocks, including [[snow layer]]s or [[torch]]es. 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 {{control|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.[{{bug|MC-167846||Hoe cannot be used on blocks with certain blocks on top even if said blocks can normally exist on farmland|WAI}}]
=== Weapon ===
Hoes may be used as a weapon, although they deal only {{hp|1}} damage {{in|java}}. {{IN|bedrock}}, hoes can do as much as a pickaxe in terms of damage. Hoes use 1 durability when used as a weapon.
In ''Java Edition'', netherite hoes have an attack speed modifier 0 (refill in 0.25s).
Hoes always attack instantly in ''Bedrock Edition''.

A netherite hoe can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding netherite ingots, with each ingot restoring 25% the hoe's maximum durability, rounded down. Two netherite hoes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the hoe's [[enchantment]]s.
=== Enchantments ===
A hoe can receive the following enchantments:

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}
== 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 while tilling dirt, it does not display the tool breaking animation like on other tools, because tilling is not predicted client-side.
