Farming in Minecraft is an important part of the game. First of all, it is an inexhaustible source of food, which is needed daily to maintain the player's desired energy level and heal when taking damage. It is for the creation of beds that the diamond hoe is used.

The diamond hoe is also used to convert blocks of rooted dirt into ordinary ones, while hanging roots will fall out. With a hoe, you can effectively break such blocks as foliage, sponge, wet sponge, shroomlight, dried kelp block, target, sheaf of hay, crimson infernal growth block, distorted infernal growth block, acoustic sensor and moss block.

• Farming.

In order to dig up a bed with a diamond hoe, you need to right-click on the target block, holding a hoe in your hands. The top layer of the block will change the texture. This means that the bed has been dug up. If there is a water source at a distance of no more than 4 blocks from the excavated block, the surface of the block will darken (become saturated with moisture). After that, you can start planting plants.

• Destruction of blocks.

With the help of a diamond hoe, you can quickly assemble some blocks (see the question "What is a diamond hoe for in Minecraft?").

• As a weapon.

The diamond hoe can also be used as a weapon, but it will remove only 0.5 hearts on the health scale, that is, it is completely ineffective. The attack speed of the diamond hoe is the same as that of the netherite hoe, and higher than that of other types of hoes. It is equal to 4 (0.25 seconds ready for the next hit).

The hoe will not process blocks on which other blocks or objects are located (for example, torches or snow), podzole and mycelium blocks. However, if the podzole and mycelium are first treated with a shovel, and then loosened with a hoe, they will become suitable for planting plants.

The durability of the diamond hoe is 1561. The diamond hoe does not stack. Processing each block of land with a diamond hoe takes away one unit of strength from it.

With a probability of 21.8%, a diamond hoe can be found in the chests of a Forest mansion.

With a 40% probability, the diamond enchanted hoe will be sold by a villager toolsmith of the apprentice level.

A diamond hoe is created in a workbench using two sticks and two diamonds. How to arrange them correctly in the crafting grid can be seen below.

Like any diamond tool, the hoe can be improved by using a netherite ingot into a netherite hoe. The expediency of this modernization is doubtful, since it will only lead to an increase in strength, productivity will remain at the same level.

You can repair a diamond hoe by combining two diamond hoes in the player's own crafting menu, in a crafting table, or by placing them in the cells of a grindstone. At the same time, the strength reserves of the hoe are summed up. Additionally, 5% strength will be added. The enchantment will not be preserved.

You can also use an anvil for restoration by placing two diamond hoes or a diamond hoe and a diamond in the cells. At the same time, 25% of the maximum strength of the tool will be restored. The spell will remain.

The following enchantments can be applied to the hoe:

• Efficiency V
• Fortune III
• Strength III
• Silk Touch I
• Repair I
• The Curse of Loss I

*The charms "Fortune" and "Silk Touch" are mutually exclusive.

No, the diamond hoe cannot be used as fuel.

If you plow a block of dirt with a diamond hoe, its top layer is removed. Visually, there is an illusion that the block falls a little into the ground. This phenomenon is explained by the fact that the texture shifts to the new visual top of the block.
