What is Iron Hoe in Minecraft?
An iron hoe is a durable farming tool in Minecraft. Its main job is to till dirt and grass blocks into farmland, which is necessary for planting crops like wheat, carrots, and potatoes. An iron hoe is a good upgrade from a stone hoe because it has much higher durability, meaning you can till a lot more land before it breaks. It is also the fastest tool for breaking certain blocks like leaves, hay bales, and sponges. While it might not seem as exciting as a sword or pickaxe, an iron hoe is an essential tool for any player who wants to set up a large and efficient farm.
