1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make an Iron Hoe

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make an iron hoe, place 2 iron ingots and 2 sticks in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making an iron hoe, it is important that the iron ingots and sticks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 2 iron ingots placed in the first row (the last box in the row should be left empty). In the second row, 1 stick should be in the middle box. In the third row, 1 stick should be in the middle box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for an iron hoe.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the iron hoe will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Iron Hoe to Inventory

Once you have crafted an iron hoe, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made an iron hoe in Minecraft!
