Hoe Tweaks for Minecraft

Review Hoe Tweaks

Improvements for the Hoe in Minecraft

In Minecraft, there are not so many tools for interacting with the surrounding world, however, most often the pickaxe is used for mining various materials in mines, leveling terrain, and so on. And among all available items, the hoe is somehow used very rarely, mainly on farms. And even then, only at the first interaction with any plantation. To increase interest in this tool and diversify the usual survival rhythm in Minecraft, you can install special mods, where many mechanics, options, and some unique "goodies" are already thought out for you. We will talk about one of such tools in this article…

The Hoe Tweaks modification seriously reworks and changes the standard functionality of the hoe, adding more options and possibilities to it. With this tool, players will be able to loosen soil on any territory, speed up crop harvesting, increase the harvest collection radius. And these are far from all the options that will be available after installing this mod. Actually, not many additions are created for hoes, and this is one of the few where players get really rich and serious functionality, which will definitely help in vanilla survival and simplify some tasks. Ready for such changes and innovations?

The main task of this mod is to improve the mechanics for the hoe and increase player interest in this tool, so users take this item in their hands more often and use it for its intended purpose in farming. And for this, many additional options were invented, which you get exclusively after installing the addon. In fact, there are quite a lot of different mechanics that you need to know about:

· Accelerated crop harvesting for many agricultural crops (including pumpkins, watermelons). Do you remember how long it used to take to hit with a hoe to collect these vegetables? Now the whole process is done much faster;

· Increased harvest collection range and hoe effect, that is, effectively the area is now many times larger;

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

· You can apply a separate "Mending" enchantment so that less HP is spent on the hoe with each block tilled;

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

· Players have access to a separate configuration file where many parameters can be adjusted.

If you have a diamond hoe, it can process a 7*7 block area, which is quite enough to fully engage in farming. If the player took a stone hoe (for example, at the start of their survival), then the area will be minimal – 3*3 blocks. And here everyone decides for themselves which option suits them best. As mentioned earlier, this mod offers you various settings:

· onlyUntillWithOtherHandEmpty (default = true): allow using the tilling function only if the player’s other hand is empty;

· BrowblockbreakspeedModifier (default = 8.0, min 0.0, MAX 20.0): speed of breaking blocks with harvest, for example, watermelons and pumpkins;

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

· Woodentierhoerange (default = 0, min 0, MAX 32): Tilling range of the wooden hoe when the character is crouching (default when crouching). 0 = 1x1;

· stonetierhoerange (default = 1, min 0, max 32): Tilling range of the stone hoe when the character is crouching (default when crouching). 1 = 3x3;

· goldtierhoerange (default = 2, min 0, max 32): Tilling range of the golden hoe when the character is crouching (default when crouching). 2 = 5x5;

· Irontierhoerange (default = 2, min 0, max 32): Tilling range of the iron hoe when the character is crouching (default when crouching). 2 = 5x5;

· Diamondtierhoerange (default = 3, min 0, max 32): Tilling range of the diamond hoe when the character is crouching (default when crouching). 3 = 7x7;

· NetheritetierHoerange (default = 4, min 0, max 32): Tilling range of the netherite hoe when the character is crouching (default when crouching). 4 = 9x9.

From the values in this list, you can understand how the hoe's area changes depending on the material the tool is made of. Here, the overall efficiency directly depends on the alloy used. In the end, with the Hoe Tweaks mod, you can literally in a couple of clicks turn the hoe into a full-fledged tool that will be on the same level as pickaxes, as it offers many new possibilities and seriously helps in farming.
