About Iron Hoe
An iron hoe is a farming tool. You use it to turn dirt, grass blocks, and dirt paths into farmland, which can then be planted with seeds and other crops. Iron is a solid mid-tier material, so the hoe lasts for 250 uses before it breaks.
The material does not make the farmland work any better; it mainly affects durability. The iron hoe is also handy for breaking soft blocks like leaves and sculk faster than by hand, but most players keep one for tilling.
How to get Iron Hoe
You get an iron hoe by crafting it on a crafting table. You will need two iron ingots, made from smelting iron ore or deepslate iron ore, and two sticks, which come from planks. Arrange the ingots and sticks in the hoe pattern. If you already have iron, it is a simple tool to make and lasts a long time.
