Hoe Tweaks (Fabric) for Minecraft

Review Hoe Tweaks (Fabric)

Hoe Improvements in Minecraft

There are not many tools in Minecraft for interacting with the surrounding world; however, most often players use a pickaxe to mine various materials in caves, level terrain, and so on. And among all available items, the hoe is for some reason used extremely rarely, mainly on farms—and even then only during the first interaction with any plantation. To increase interest in this tool and diversify the familiar rhythm of survival in Minecraft, you can install special mods where many mechanics and options have already been thought out for you, and some unique “perks” have been added. One such tool is exactly what we will talk about in this article…

The Hoe Tweaks modification significantly reworks and changes the standard functionality of the hoe, adding more options and capabilities to it. With this tool, players will be able to till soil in any area, speed up crop harvesting, and increase the harvest radius. And this is far from all the options that will be available after installing this mod. In general, not many add-ons are created specifically for hoes, and this is one of the few where players get access to truly rich and serious functionality that will definitely help in vanilla survival and simplify certain tasks. Are you ready for such changes and innovations?

The main goal of this mod is to improve the mechanics of the hoe and increase player interest in this tool, so that users pick it up more often and use it for its intended purpose in farming. To achieve this, many additional options were introduced, which you get exclusively after installing the add-on. In fact, there are plenty of different mechanics here that you need to know about:

· Crop harvesting speed is increased for many agricultural crops (including pumpkins and melons). You remember how long it used to take to break these blocks with a hoe, right? Now the entire process is performed many times faster;

· The harvesting range and the hoe’s area of effect are increased, meaning the working area is now several times larger;

· The tilling range largely depends on the material of the tool. Accordingly, if the player has a netherite or diamond hoe, it will allow working with a much larger area;

· A separate “Unbreaking” enchantment can be applied so that less durability (HP) is consumed with each block tilled;

· By default, to use the increased range, the player must crouch while holding the tool;

· Players have access to a separate configuration file in which many parameters can be customized.

If you have a diamond hoe, it can process an area of 7×7 blocks, which is quite enough to fully engage in farming. If the player uses a stone hoe (for example, at the very start of survival), the area will be minimal—3×3 blocks. And here everyone decides for themselves which option suits them best. As mentioned earlier, this mod provides various configuration options:

· onlyUntillWithOtherHandEmpty (default = true): allows the tilling function to be used only if the player’s other hand is empty;

· BrowblockbreakspeedModifier (default = 8.0, min 0.0, MAX 20.0): the speed of breaking crop blocks, such as melons and pumpkins;

· MustCrouchTohaveBiggerHoerange (default = true): enables the increased range option when the character is crouching;

· Woodentierhoerange (default = 0, min 0, MAX 32): tilling range of a wooden hoe while crouching (by default, during crouching). 0 = 1×1;

· stonetierhoerange (default = 1, min 0, max 32): tilling range of a stone hoe while crouching (by default, during crouching). 1 = 3×3;

· goldtierhoerange (default = 2, min 0, max 32): tilling range of a golden hoe while crouching (by default, during crouching). 2 = 5×5;

· Irontierhoerange (default = 2, min 0, max 32): tilling range of an iron hoe while crouching (by default, during crouching). 2 = 5×5;

· Diamondtierhoerange (default = 3, min 0, max 32): tilling range of a diamond hoe while crouching (by default, during crouching). 3 = 7×7;

· NetheritetierHoerange (default = 4, min 0, max 32): tilling range of a netherite hoe while crouching (by default, during crouching). 4 = 9×9.

Based on the values in this list, you can understand how the hoe’s working area changes depending on the material from which the tool is made. Here, overall efficiency directly depends on the alloy used. As a result, with the Hoe Tweaks mod, you can literally turn a hoe into a full-fledged tool in just a few clicks—one that stands on the same level as pickaxes, as it offers many new possibilities and provides serious assistance in farming.
