About this Mod
This mod adds 6 new hammers that function like pickaxes — but with the ability to mine in a 3×3 area.
Added Hammers
- Wooden Hammer
- Stone Hammer
- Iron Hammer
- Golden Hammer
- Diamond Hammer
- Netherite Hammer
Each hammer corresponds to its vanilla tier and follows the same progression in durability, mining speed, and effectiveness.
Functionality
All hammers:
- Work like pickaxes
- Can mine ores and stone-based blocks
- Break blocks in a 3×3 area instead of a single block
Overall Concept
The mod enhances mining efficiency by introducing tier-based tools that:
- Maintain vanilla balance
- Speed up resource gathering
- Reduce repetitive mining
Mining becomes faster and more practical without changing the core gameplay progression.
