Fix hoes to make them have weapon enchantments

The problems with the idea of hoes as weapons, and solutions to them:

Sharpness V netherite hoes on skilled players would be just too OP, and they could defeat diamond armored players without receiving damage, and that's due to 2 problems. Attack strenght isn't one of them, so these are the problems, and how they should be fixed:

1) Reduce knockback given by hoes: If a skilled player uses a hoe, then it's untouchable. Specially when uses a hoe to punch away attackers. So if the knockback is nerfed, then attackers have an opportunity to attack the hoe player.

2) Reduce hoe attack speed: They are fast, but too much. If a skilled player, combining that with the knockback, attack other players, then it's overpowered at the point that it can beat damond armor players without receiving damage. So, if the attack speed is reduced, then attackers could have more time to attack, resulting in fair fights.

 

Thanks, I would like to see hoes as weapons, but without making them overpowered.

    But what about the enchantment knockback 2? The hoes really need some big nerfs for knockback

    Marko Nx I know that the Knockback enchantment would be OP. That's one of the reasons of why I made this post.

    There are possible solutions:

    1) Being unable to add it to hoes.

    2) Make it less powerful on hoes.

    3) (As I said above) Make hoes deal less Knockback.

    Also, there is another idea (different to the first 2):

    3) When you combo, that the player doesn't lift on the air: Maybe controversial, but you could still do combo, but now your opponent could also escape, which would be fair, since hoes would be op if not (or if not applied the fixes above).

    A sharpness V netherite hoe would be nothing compared to a sharpness V netherite sword! They need to add the enchants without any nerfing

    foot head I know that. But the knockback is the problem. I understand your point because I share it, but other people see the problem there, which is that the knockback would be broken on a normal skilled player.

    So, I reccomend seeing other people's points of wiew (my personal opinion).

    super . I like how you outline the problems of hoes being a weapon. I am totally in favor of hoes being official weapons! But, I think they should do slightly less knockback (2/3 of what they do now). They could be slightly slower, with an attack speed of 3. But if this happens, their damage should be increased by 1.

    hoes do very little damedge. even with sharpness they wouldn't kill someone with full enchants
