About this Mod

Better Hoes is a mod that increases the amount of crops harvested when you have a better hoe. This finally gives a use to crafting a diamond hoe!

The supported crops are wheat, carrot, potatoes, beetroots, netherwart, and some modded crops.

Wooden Hoe: 0.25 extra crops per harvest (on average)
Stone Hoe: 0.5 extra crops per harvest (on average)
Iron Hoe: 0.75 extra crops per harvest (on average)
Diamond Hoe :1 extra crop per harvest (on average)
Netherrite Hoe: 1.25 extra crops per harvest (on average)

However, a hoe will now lose 1 durability when breaking a crop!

The mod should be compatible with modded hoes, and some modded crops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Better Hoes server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Better Hoes – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Better Hoes consumes the most tick time.

With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
