What is Diamond Hoe in Minecraft?
A diamond hoe is a top tier farming tool in Minecraft. While it might seem like a strange use for valuable diamonds, a diamond hoe is actually a very useful and durable tool. Its main job is to till dirt into farmland for planting crops. However, its hidden talent is that it is the fastest tool for breaking certain types of blocks, like leaves, hay bales, and sponges. Because it is made of diamond, it has a very high durability, meaning you can use it for a long, long time before it breaks. For dedicated farmers or builders who need to clear a lot of foliage, a diamond hoe is a surprisingly efficient and worthwhile investment.
How to get Diamond Hoe in Minecraft
You can get a diamond hoe by crafting it. The recipe requires two diamonds and two sticks. You can find diamonds by mining deep underground. On a crafting table, place the two diamonds in the top left and top middle slots, and the two sticks in the center and bottom center slots. You can also find a diamond hoe as loot in the world. They have a chance to spawn in chests in End cities and bastion remnants. These are often enchanted, which is a nice bonus. Another way to get a diamond hoe is by trading with a master level toolsmith villager. They may offer to sell you an enchanted diamond hoe for emeralds. This can be a good way to get one without using your own diamonds.
How to use Diamond Hoe in Minecraft
The most basic use for a diamond hoe is to right click on dirt or grass blocks to turn them into farmland, which you can then use to plant seeds. Where the diamond hoe really shines is in its ability to instantly mine certain blocks when enchanted with Efficiency V. It is the best tool for clearing large amounts of leaves, hay bales, sculk blocks, sponges, and both nether wart and warped wart blocks. You can also enchant a diamond hoe with Fortune. This is incredibly useful, as using a Fortune III hoe to harvest crops like potatoes, carrots, and beetroot will give you a huge amount of extra food. It can also be enchanted with Silk Touch or Unbreaking.
