✨ 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.
