How to Craft Netherite Hoe in Minecraft

Netherite Hoe in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own item texture. Best hoe in the game. Minecraft has used the name Netherite Hoe since 1.16.

The recipe wants 1 Netherite Upgrade Template, 1 Netherite Ingot, and 1 Diamond Hoe, and a Smithing Table to run it on. One go makes 1 Netherite Hoe. Count on 2031 uses out of each one before it wears through.

Netherite Hoe Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Netherite Hoe is minecraft:netherite_hoe. In commands the namespace may be left off, so netherite_hoe works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p netherite_hoe
Give several at once
/give @p netherite_hoe 5
Give it to a named player
/give Steve netherite_hoe 1

Cheats have to be on for Netherite Hoe to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Repairing Netherite Hoe

When Netherite Hoe nears the end of its 2031 uses, Netherite Ingot on an anvil is the ordinary fix, enchantments and all.

There is a cheaper way, and a catch. A grindstone merges two worn Netherite Hoe items without costing levels, but it removes every enchantment while it does so.

The cheapest fix of all is Mending, which Netherite Hoe accepts. Experience you collect goes into the tool rather than your level bar, and it keeps itself topped up.

Overview

The Netherite Hoe has 2031 durability and does not burn in lava. Netherite Hoe is made at a Smithing Table by combining a template, a base item, and an upgrade material.

Minecraft has used the name Netherite Hoe since 1.16, the oldest release whose language file lists it.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with netherite upgrade template (found in bastion remnants), netherite ingot (craft from netherite scraps and gold ingots), and diamond hoe (craft from diamonds and sticks).

The Stack Arithmetic

64 netherite ingots is 64 crafts here, or 64 netherite hoes once the grid stops. Bring 64 diamond hoes along for the ride. Down to the last netherite ingot, nothing spare.

Everything on this list drops for a netherite hoe, so the material buys speed and nothing else. Moss Block is the quickest of them at 0.05s, which is 3 times faster than doing it by hand.

Calculated from Minecraft Java 26.2’s own block hardness and tool speed values, without enchantments, Haste or Mining Fatigue. Bedrock Edition publishes no equivalent figures, so these are Java only.
