Wooden Scythe
Wooden Scythe is the entry tier of Ala Industrial's scythes: one right-click mows foliage across a 3×2 patch, and Shift-click harvests only ripe crops.
Description
The Wooden Scythe has 59 durability and spends 1 point only on leaves and harvested crops — soft plants with no hardness, such as short grass, ferns, and flowers, are mowed for free. Unlike higher tiers, the Wooden Scythe grants no bonus seed at all — the chance for an extra seed while harvesting starts at the stone tier with 5%. Fortune and Silk Touch both change the mowed drops because every break is tool-aware, and the tool accepts hoe enchantments such as Efficiency, Unbreaking, and Mending at the enchanting table. The Wooden Scythe is a pure hand tool: no EU energy, no machines, and identical behavior on Fabric and NeoForge — the cheapest way to learn the mod's scythe mechanic before crafting the stone tier.

How to use the Wooden Scythe in Minecraft
-
1
Craft the Wooden Scythe
Place any three planks and two sticks in the custom scythe shape at a crafting table: planks in the top-left, top-middle, and middle-right slots, sticks in the center and bottom-middle. The recipe appears in the recipe book once you pick up planks.
-
2
Mow foliage with a plain right-click
The clicked plant becomes the center of the mow: the Wooden Scythe clears a flat 3×2 patch three blocks tall — leaves, grass, flowers, ferns, mushrooms, vines, and saplings — while every crop stays untouched.
-
3
Harvest crops with Shift held
Shift + right-click cuts only fully grown plants: wheat, carrots, potatoes, and beetroot at maximum age, ripe sweet berry bushes, and cactus or sugar cane blocks above the base, so unripe seedlings keep growing.
-
4
Enchant and repair like a hoe
The Wooden Scythe accepts Efficiency, Unbreaking, Fortune, Silk Touch, and Mending at the enchanting table, and Fortune or Silk Touch change the mowed drops; repair a damaged Wooden Scythe with planks at an anvil.

5
Watch the durability bar
Only leaves and harvested crops cost 1 of the 59 durability points each — soft plants with no hardness, such as short grass, ferns, and flowers, are mowed for free — and one swing never breaks more than 12 blocks; creative mode spends no durability.
The Wooden Scythe grants no bonus seed — the extra-seed roll starts at the stone tier with 5%. No EU power or machines are needed, and behavior is identical on Fabric and NeoForge.
How to craft this block
Frequently asked questions
How do you craft the Wooden Scythe in Ala Industrial?
Arrange any three planks and two sticks in the custom scythe shape at a crafting table: planks in the top-left, top-middle, and middle-right slots, sticks in the center and bottom-middle. The recipe unlocks in the recipe book once you have picked up planks.
What area does the Wooden Scythe clear in one swing?
The Wooden Scythe mows a flat patch three blocks wide, two blocks deep, and three blocks tall in front of the clicked block, with a hard cap of 12 plants per swing. The block you click always breaks first.
Does the Wooden Scythe destroy unripe crops?
No. A plain right-click never touches crops at all, and Shift + right-click removes only crops at maximum age, so unripe wheat, carrots, potatoes, and beetroot keep growing.
Does the Wooden Scythe give bonus seeds?
No. The wood tier has a 0% bonus-seed chance; the roll that drops one extra seed from a harvested crop starts at the stone tier with 5% and grows with each higher tier.
How long does the Wooden Scythe last?
The Wooden Scythe has 59 durability and loses 1 point only for leaves and harvested crops; soft plants with no hardness — short grass, ferns, and flowers — are mowed for free.
Does the Wooden Scythe need EU power or a machine?
No. The Wooden Scythe is a hand tool with no energy cost, crafted at a plain crafting table, so it works from the first minutes of a survival world on both Fabric and NeoForge.
