Red's Wither Hoe
by TheRedSmarty
Red's Wither Hoe is a NeoForge equipment mod that turns a hoe into a multi-use tool for farming, mining and combat.
What it does
Holding the hoe lets a player fly in the manner of creative mode, which makes building farms and other structures faster. The flight works in survival as well, so the hoe gives a wider set of uses in that mode. The hoe can be held in either the main hand or the off-hand.
The hoe can dig Ancient Debris and break through netherrack, which has low blast resistance, so it covers some tasks that would normally need separate tools. It also deals 25 attack damage and fires skulls without a cooldown, which makes it usable in player-versus-player fights. The mod is meant for simple use alongside farming and combat in survival.
The mod is released for NeoForge on 1.21.1 and 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. It runs on the client and the server, so both need it. The code is not open source; the author keeps all rights, and the mod was first published on 2026-02-04 and last updated on 2026-02-05.
Key features
Creative-style flight
Holding the hoe grants flight similar to creative mode, which helps with building and farm layouts.
Mining and breaking
The hoe can dig Ancient Debris and break through netherrack, which is weak against blasts.
Combat strength
The hoe deals 25 attack damage, and it fires skulls with no cooldown between shots.
Either hand
The hoe works from either the main hand or the off-hand, so it can pair with another tool.

Use cases
Farming and building
Players who build farms or large structures can fly with the hoe held and skip some of the slower travel.
Survival mining
Players who need Ancient Debris or want to cut through netherrack can do it with one item instead of switching tools.
Player combat
The hoe's damage and skull shots suit player-versus-player fights on a server that allows them.
Who it’s for: Players on NeoForge 1.21.1 or 1.21.8 who want a single hoe covering farming, mining and combat. The server needs the mod too, since the environment is client and server.

Uses So, there are some very useful uses for this hoe in survival gameplay. 1. For Ancient Debris mining. as this skull can break through the netherrack very easily due to the netherrack having very low blast resistance. 2. For building, like farms or normal builds, because you can fly like creative with this hoe…
