Food is a vital aspect in Minecraft, especially when playing in survivor mode. As you do more work through the in-game days, your character increases fatigue, lowering his stamina and energy. To help replenish this, food is a must. This is where a hoe comes into play. Let us look at the uses of the hoe and how we can craft its variants in Minecraft.

The hoe can be used to dig through dirt and glass blocks to make them farmable. Once a path is dug, you can plant various seeds to grow plants, which can later be harvested and used as ingredients to create food. You can also further enhance your hoe to make it more efficient and help speed up your work. Let us first look at how to craft the hoe in Minecraft.

For crafting a hoe in Minecraft, the same proportion of two different ingredients is all that is needed. Depending upon the type of hoe you want to make, the materials differ a bit, requiring some rarer ingredients. Let us first look at how to craft the basic wooden hoe in Minecraft.

  1. The first step involves mining at least two logs of wood.
  2. Once you have your wood, place it on the crafting table to get four planks. Now place your planks to get x2 number of sticks from each plank.
  3. Now, place two sticks on the crafting table in the lower two rows in the middle column. After that, place two planks, one at the top above the stick and one more to its left.
  4. This will craft for you the wooden hoe in Minecraft

The hoe will make digging paths much more efficient while keeping your hoe intact for a longer period of time.
