If you want to do farming in Minecraft, you'll need to craft yourself a hoe! It's a very useful tool, and farming is a must if you want to have an easily sustainable food supply to help keep your heart in survival mode. In this tutorial on how to make a hoe, we'll walk you through the process with an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide!
how to make a hoe
Time required: 5 minutes.
To make a hoe in Minecraft, we will just need to gather some wood, make some planks, some sticks, and then put everything together! We'll show you exactly how to do it in the steps below.
If you've already got yourself an axe, you can chop down trees and skip some of these steps. However, if you are just starting out, it's time to strike! Find just about any tree nearby and collect a few logs from it by punching or chopping them.
Open your inventory and place the wood logs in the crafting area. Each log will create four planks, and we'll need seven in total if you don't have a crafting table yet.
Take four of your planks and fill the crafting space in your inventory. This will give us a crafting table!
We will now move on to two sticks. Place two wooden planks in your crafting table or crafting area in your inventory. Stack the planks on top of each other to get four sticks!
We have all the ingredients we need, so we just have to put it all together. If you haven't already, place your crafting table on the ground somewhere (you can pick it up again by hitting it or hitting it with a tool). Open it up and place two sticks starting from the bottom to the middle. Then take one of the wooden planks and place it on top in the middle!
That's all you need to know to make a basic wooden hoe! You'll want to get a pickaxe and get cobblestones fairly quickly and switch to a stone hoe. This has more durability and works faster! You may also end up crafting a hoe out of iron, gold, diamond, or even netherite as you progress through the game!
The hoe is quite an important tool as you will want to make yourself a farm to grow wheat which you can turn into bread. This will be a great starter food, easy to replenish as you get out of the early stages of the game!
