Better Hoes

by TheEnderCore

Better Hoes changes the common hoe so that it can break more block types and plant blocks, and the mod is server required with client optional.

What it does

Hoes gain extra uses: the tool can break additional kinds of blocks and plant blocks, which the vanilla hoe cannot do. The changes apply to the item itself, so no separate tool needs to be crafted. Because the server must run the mod, server owners install it on the server, and players may add it on their own side without it being required.

Key features

  1. Extra block breaking

    The hoe can break more kinds of blocks than the vanilla tool, so it fills a wider role in gathering.

  2. Plant breaking

    The hoe can break plant blocks, which lets players clear crops and growth without switching tools.

  3. Single item change

    The changes are made to the existing hoe item, so the tool keeps its usual recipe and place in the game.
