Minecraft is a game where you can do anything, build anything and be anyone. You can be a nomad and explore the landscapes or be a farmer and settle down. Either way, you’ll need the tools to move forward. In this article, we’ll talk about one such tool: the hoe. Many in the Minecraft community consider the hoe to be useless, but it can be surprisingly useful for some players – here’s how to craft it.
