Tempered Iron Scythe is the sixth of the eight material tiers in Ala Industrial's scythe line for Minecraft 26.2 (Java Edition): one right-click mows a flat 5×4 patch, cutting up to 40 plants per swing. Tempered Iron Scythe is built on the mod's own blast-hardened iron material, so the durability bar holds 350 points — 40% more than the iron scythe — and every actually broken plant costs exactly one point: grass wears the tool down the same as leaves. A plain right-click clears decorative foliage such as leaves, grass, flowers, ferns, mushrooms, vines and saplings, and each block drops its normal hand-broken loot, so Fortune and Silk Touch both apply. Holding Shift switches Tempered Iron Scythe into harvest mode: only mature crops are cut — wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroot and ripe sweet berry bushes, plus cactus and sugar cane above their base — while unripe seedlings keep growing.

Tempered Iron Scythe is crafted at a workbench from three tempered iron and two sticks in a custom shape unlike the vanilla hoe; one ingot comes from blasting one iron ingot, so iron farms keep the tool renewable. In harvest mode, every cut of a true crop — wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroot or the torchflower crop — has an 18% chance to drop one bonus seed, a roll independent of Fortune that stacks on top of it. Tempered Iron Scythe catches enchantments better than iron (enchantability 16 against 14) and accepts Efficiency, Unbreaking, Fortune, Silk Touch and Mending at the enchanting table. Tempered Iron Scythe draws no EU power, sits outside Ala Industrial's energy tiers, works identically on Fabric and NeoForge, and repairs with tempered iron at an anvil. It slots between the fragile-but-lucky Gold Scythe (5×3, 32 durability, 20% seeds) and the Diamond Scythe (5×5, 50 blocks per swing).
