About
Tired of endless digging in Minecraft? Use a hammer!
This mod adds hammers that function like pickaxes but in a 3x3 area which greatly simplifies resource gathering and digging in the middle and late stages of the game.
How It Works
To obtain a hammer, you must first find a new smithing template to upgrade your pickaxe. It can be found in villages: most often in the weaponsmiths, toolsmiths, and armorers houses, less often in regular houses.
Using a smithing template and a block of appropriate material on a smithing table, you can upgrade your pickaxe to a brand new hammer.
