How to Craft Netherite Hoe in Minecraft

The Netherite Hoe has 2031 durability and does not burn in lava.

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. A Smithing Table applies upgrade templates. In 1.21 it is the only way to apply the Netherite Upgrade and the armor trim templates, and it never consumes the diamond gear's enchantments.

The recipe was added in Minecraft 1.16 and still works the same way in version 1.21. Each craft yields a single Netherite Hoe.

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). If any of those are not already in your stores, gather them first, because the craft itself takes only a moment once everything is in the grid. With the ingredients on hand and a Smithing Table placed, Netherite Hoe is one of the quicker things to add to your inventory.

How Netherite Hoe Fits Your World

Tools determine how fast you gather and what blocks you can mine at all: a pickaxe of the right tier is required to mine higher ores, since mining diamond ore needs at least an iron pickaxe and ancient debris needs a diamond one. Every tool also carries a durability bar that ticks down with use, so enchantments like Unbreaking and Mending dramatically extend how long it lasts before it breaks. For Netherite Hoe specifically, that means it is most valuable for best hoe in the game and does not burn in lava.
