Hoes are tools which can be used to turn Dirt, Dirt with Grass, Dirt with Dry Grass, Dirt with Rainforest Litter and Dirt with Coniferous Litter into Soil and Desert Sand into Desert Sand Soil. This is neccessary to be able to plant seeds. However, the seeds have to be planted soon afterwards, as the cultivated soil will turn back into normal dirt if no seed get planted.

Hoes are used by pointing the block which should be cultivated and pressing the attack key (left mouse button by default).

There are several different hoes, crafted from sticks and another material. The hoe types only differ in the number of uses before they break.
