✨ Features

  • 3x3 Mining: Break 9 blocks with a single swing! Perfect for strip mining and large-scale excavation.
  • Vanilla-Friendly Tiers: Progression mirrors vanilla tools, from Wooden to Netherite.
    • Wooden Hammer: Early game clearing.
    • Stone Hammer: Solid starter option.
    • Iron Hammer: Reliable workhorse.
    • Golden Hammer: Fast but fragile.
    • Diamond Hammer: High durability and speed.
    • Netherite Hammer: The ultimate mining tool.
  • Balanced Gameplay: Hammers are "Heavy" tools. They swing slower than pickaxes but pack a punch with higher damage and ~4x durability to compensate for the area effect.
  • Enchantments:
    • Soil Breaker: Allows the hammer to also mine dirt, sand, gravel, and grass in the 3x3 area (normally only mines stone-like blocks).
    • Smash: Chance to stun enemies for a short duration on critical hits, slowing them and reducing their damage.
  • Configurable:
    • gamerule easyhammersSneakingMode: When true (default), sneak-mining mines only 1 block (precision mode).
    • gamerule damageHammerByBlockCount: When true (default), durability is used for every block broken in the 3x3 area.
