Netherite Hoe

Smithing gives you Netherite Hoe, a tool filed under Tools. It claims a slot each, so nine hotbar slots hold nine and a double chest of 54 slots takes 54. Durability on Netherite Hoe is 2031, so 2031 swings, blocks or shots are the run of one; it takes enchantments too.

Count on 2031 uses out of Netherite Hoe before it goes, longer with Unbreaking on it, and effectively without end once Mending is on it and you keep picking up experience. Netherite gear is the top tier in the game: it is fireproof, floats in lava without burning, and offers the highest durability and combat or mining performance of any material. When enchanted, Netherite Hoe can carry 6 different enchantments, among them Efficiency, Fortune, Silk Touch, and Unbreaking. It sits between Netherite Axe and Netherite Pickaxe in Tools, number 22 of 35 there.

Netherite Ingot, 507 points per unit

The Netherite Hoe attacks four times a second for 1 damage, the same ceiling the diamond one reaches, and no upgrade in the game changes what a hoe hits for.

Where it wins is the bar: 2031 uses, 507 back per netherite ingot, and it survives a lava dip. Trading a diamond hoe up for a Netherite Hoe is a durability decision and nothing else.
