I don't know my version or loader
Requires the library mod Collective (Fabric) and the Fabric API.
This mod is part of The Vanilla Experience.
Hoe Tweaks makes some various Quality of Life tweaks to the hoe tool. It's fully configurable. Harvest crop blocks (pumpkins/melons) faster, be able to un-till soil and increased till range depending on the tier (e.g. wood/diamond). By default you'll have to crouch for the increased range.
The hoe used with increased range will be damaged for each extra block tilled. The unbreaking enchantment is taken into consideration.
Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
onlyUntillWithOtherHandEmpty (default = true): When enabled, only allows the un-till function to work when the other hand is empty. Allows placing seeds with hoe in other hand.
cropBlockBreakSpeedModifier (default = 8.0, min 0.0, max 20.0): How much quicker a cropblock (pumpkin/melon) is broken than by default.
mustCrouchToHaveBiggerHoeRange (default = true): Whether the bigger hoe range should only be used if the player is crouching when right-clicking the center block.
woodenTierHoeRange (default = 0, min 0, max 32): The wooden hoe till range (default while crouching). 0 = 1x1
stoneTierHoeRange (default = 1, min 0, max 32): The wooden hoe till range (default while crouching). 1 = 3x3
goldTierHoeRange (default = 2, min 0, max 32): The wooden hoe till range (default while crouching). 2 = 5x5
ironTierHoeRange (default = 2, min 0, max 32): The wooden hoe till range (default while crouching). 2 = 5x5
diamondTierHoeRange (default = 3, min 0, max 32): The wooden hoe till range (default while crouching). 3 = 7x7
netheriteTierHoeRange (default = 4, min 0, max 32): The wooden hoe till range (default while crouching). 4 = 9x9
Harvest pumpkins and melons quicker:
Till and un-till with a diamond hoe, a default area of 7x7:
And another example with a stone hoe, for an area of 3x3. Right-click a tilled block to un-till:
