A hoe tills dirt into farmland and breaks leaves quickly. It's the farmer's tool, and in an add-on it can be much more than that.
In Addon's Studio you can make a hoe with its own texture, speed and durability, then use actions to give it extra powers through commands. It's a fun way to theme an add-on around farming or nature magic.

Add a Hoe

Draw the icon
Paint it pixel by pixel or import a picture. Turn on 3D model if you want a 3D version in your hand.

Tips
- Hoes break leaves fast, so a quick hoe is handy for clearing trees.
- Pair it with custom food for a complete farming add-on.
- Use your own crop or gem as the repair material so players keep farming it.
- Actions run as the player, so give @s wheat_seeds 1 gives seeds to whoever used it.
