A copper hoe is a variant of hoe that is crafted from copper ingots. It is used to till dirt-related blocks into farmland, and to break leaves, haybales, and sculk-related blocks faster. It is the fourth-highest tier of hoe, having higher mining efficiency, durability, and enchantability than a stone hoe.

Usage

Harvesting

A copper hoe can be used to harvest various plant blocks, Nether fungi, and sculk 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

A copper hoe can be used to turn dirt, grass blocks, and dirt paths into farmland. To till, press use on a grass or dirt block while holding a hoe. This does not work on mycelium or podzol, nor does it work if there are other blocks on top of the targeted blocks, including snow layers or torches. However, mycelium and podzol can be first converted to dirt paths with a shovel, then tilled into farmland with a hoe.

A copper hoe can be used to convert coarse dirt into regular dirt by pressing use on the coarse dirt. Similar to tilling dirt, the space above the coarse dirt must be empty for it to be tilled.

A copper hoe 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 copper hoe uses 0 or 1 durability, depending on the block.

A copper hoe is 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.

Weapon

Bedrock Edition

A copper hoe always attacks instantly.

A copper hoe can be repaired in an anvil by adding copper ingots, with each ingot restoring 47 durability (25% of its maximum durability, rounded down). Two copper hoes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the copper hoe's enchantments.
