it is impossible to cheat in a sandbox game because the only rules are the ones that you impose on yourself. if you feel that it is cheating then it is and if you feel as though it isnt then it isnt. it is as simple as that.
your buildings should flow with the land. dont try to force something that shouldnt be there. remember if you are patient enough you can find the perfect piece of land for whatever you happen to want to build. for instance i have a map where i found a hollowed out mountain that became my perfect base
mine is always sword pick shovel torch dirt/cobble (what ever i need at the time) and ending with a bow. this way the important stuff (weapons, tools, and torches) are all in a row and easy to get to
its not worth it. i can see why you would use an iron one. i do for my farms but i have a farm that to capacity will plan 256 wheat at a time so i use one iron hoe and then i dont have to ever worry about making another one
here is a quest for you. first build a diamond hoe. then make a wheat farm that is large enough to completly use up the hoe. then reap the benefits of having more wheat than you know what to do with
