Porting information for 26.1 update
This mod is the successor of Vanilla Hammers and
Vanilla Excavators for Forge on 1.19+. It could be combined with
MoreVanillaLib to have some special effects for most of the tools.

Hammers will mine like a pickaxe, but in a 3x3 area.
Excavators will mine like a shovel, but in a 3x3 area.
If MoreVanillaTools is present, the tool materials of this mod will also enable hammers
and excavators for it.

You are allowed to put this mod in any modpack you like.
