The hoe should do the same damage as an axe, but lose durability upon use, and be renamed the Scythe. It should break things like melons and pumpkins faster than other tools. :biggrin.gif:
No, that's a bad idea. The hoe is a hoe, not a scythe.
The hoe looks like something you could use to lop someone's head off, and in fact, it looks alot more like a scythe. If you've actually seen a real hoe and seen a real scythe, you'd know what I mean. :tongue.gif:

have you looked at the model used for the hoe? it looks far more like a scythe than a hoe, and that's fine as they are essentially the same in function; used for preparing the soil for plants. However a scythe is also used for reaping wheat.
Moving along i think this is a fair idea. maybe also they could make it harder to harvest wheat. Here are some suggestions for wheat harvesting.
5 hits by hand, destroying the farm block underneath as well as the wheat block, giving one wheat and one seed
two hits with a sword which destroys wheat block giving one wheat and one seed
one hit with shears which cause the wheat block to drop one wheat and 4 seeds
one hit with a hoe which empties a 3 by 3 square centered on whatever block you target, leaving the wheat at a freshly planted stage(not destroyed) and making each wheat block drop 2 wheat and 4 seeds
This, i think, would make a scythe(I do thing you're right wanting to use this name) more viable whilst making farming more practicable. As for the better damage i'm skeptical; the scythe is not really a weapon, no more deadly than a shovel or a pickax.
..they are essentially the same in function; used for preparing the soil for plants...
:blink.gif: a scythe is not made for digging, tilling, etc. in fact, scythe's are never to touch the ground. they have to stay as sharp as possible, and cutting through rock and soil would dull and chip them like crazy. they're two completely different tools for two completely different purposes.

I suggest for a Ender Scythe?Don't you think is a great idea?
