This texture was added in Beta 1.3 but was never used in the game. It closely resembles [[obsidian]], mostly due to the matching colors. It also appears to be a [[sandstone]] or a [[bedrock]] texture modified to look like obsidian. It is also known as "Bleeding Obsidian", "Mystery Block","The Meteorite" and "super obsidian" among many members for its appearance.

When [[dirt]] or [[grass]] blocks are tilled, you can now plant [[seeds]] on the block. If a block is tilled, you cannot plant [[sugarcane]] on the block until it returns to normal.
In Beta 1.5, the texture slot for crying obsidian was replaced by a grayscale replacement of the side of grassy dirt blocks, which is used for biome-compliant grassy dirt block sides. It's likely that this block has been removed for good.

Hoes are tools used to till dirt and grass blocks into farmland blocks, the first step in farming. To till, right-click on a grass or dirt block while holding a hoe.

Uses

Hoes are used to "cut" grass that grows on dirt (dirt spawns naturally) to obtain seeds. When using hoes to obtain seeds, there is NOT a 100% chance of getting seeds. When dirt or grass blocks are tilled, you can now plant seeds on the block. If a block is tilled, you cannot plant sugarcane on the block until it returns to normal.

Crafting

Hoes are crafted using 2 sticks and 2 units of a tool material:

Trivia

  • Tilling a dirt block which has a dirt block on top of it will change it to farmland even though it cannot be used. If a hoe is used on a block horizontally adjacent to such a block, the first block will revert to dirt and the selected block will not be tilled. The hoe will still take one point of damage from each use.
  • Prior to Beta 1.2, there was a glitch that Placing a dirt block under any block, tilling the dirt, and planting a seed on it would cause the block above to disappear without yielding any blocks.
  • The hoe does not give any faster mining of dirt blocks or grass blocks.
  • When you till a dirt block, the top layer is removed. But due to the way farmland is textured, it appears as if the block sinks into the ground. The texture for the sides is shifted down instead of the top pixels being removed.
  • Prior to 1.6, hoes would be used to get seeds by tilling grass blocks. seeds are now obtained from tall grass.

Notes

  • Since the Beta 1.2 update, wood and stone tools have increased durability, meaning that wood tools have 60 uses, stone tools have 132 uses and diamond tools have 1562 uses.
