A copper hoe is a variant of hoe crafted from copper ingots.

Obtaining

Crafting

Ingredients	Crafting recipe	Description
Copper Ingot + Stick		​

Usage

Harvesting

A copper hoe can be used to harvest various plant blocks, fungi, and sculk blocks more quickly. Breaking one of these blocks takes 1 durability.

Breaking any other block takes 0 durability if the block breaks instantly when broken by hand, or 1 otherwise.

Tilling

A copper hoe can be used to turn dirt, grass blocks, and dirt paths into farmland. To till, press use on a grass or dirt block while holding a hoe. This does not work on mycelium or podzol, nor does it work if there are other blocks on top of the targeted blocks, including snow layers or torches. However, mycelium and podzol can be first converted to dirt paths with a shovel, then tilled into farmland with a hoe.

A copper hoe can be used to convert coarse dirt into regular dirt by pressing use on the coarse dirt. Similar to tilling dirt, the space above the coarse dirt must be empty for it to be tilled.

A copper hoe can also be used on rooted dirt, which turns it into normal dirt, and yields a hanging roots item.

Tilling is effectively instantaneous, regardless of material, and uses 1 durability. Breaking blocks with a copper hoe uses 0 or 1 durability, depending on the block.

A copper hoe is unable to work on blocks with a plant on top, even if that plant could normally be placed on top of farmland without reverting it to dirt.

Weapon

Bedrock Edition

A copper hoe always attacks instantly.
