✨ 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.
