Enchanting Your Hoe

You can enchant a hoe either directly at an enchantment table or indirectly by combining it with enchanted books using an anvil. Enchanted books can be acquired through villager trades, fishing, loot chests, or by enchanting ordinary books. This method gives you complete control over the enchantments you choose.

Here are the enchantments currently available for hoes in Minecraft:

Mending

The Mending enchantment in Minecraft is a highly sought-after enchantment that automatically repairs the equipped item using collected experience orbs. When applied to a tool or weapon like a Hoe, Mending gradually restores its durability whenever the player gains experience.

This enchantment is particularly valuable for sustainable and long-lasting tools, as it reduces the need for constant repairs or replacements, allowing players to focus on farming and other activities without worrying about the Hoe's wear and tear and finding enchanted books in generated structures like dungeons or strongholds.

Efficiency

The enchantment ranges from levels I to V, with Efficiency V providing the fastest performance. This enchantment is ideal for extensive farming projects and rapid landscape modifications.

Silk Touch

Silk Touch allows your hoe to collect certain blocks intact, including leaves and specific decorative plants, preserving their original form. This enchantment is excellent for decorative landscaping or farming-focused building projects.

This enchantment causes your hoe to permanently vanish upon your death. Generally undesirable, it can be strategically beneficial in PvP situations to prevent opponents from obtaining your tools. Acquired only via loot chests or villager trades, it cannot be removed once applied.
