## β¨ 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.
## π οΈ Crafting
Craft a hammer using the standard pattern (similar to a pickaxe but "heavier"):
