Only Hammers Wiki & Guide

Craft a hammer using the same materials and pattern you'd use for a pickaxe—wood, stone, iron, diamond, or netherite. Place your chosen material in the pickaxe recipe shape on a crafting table, and you'll get a hammer instead.

Hammers have the same mining speed as pickaxes, but they mine a 3×3 area with each swing instead of a single block, making them much faster for clearing large spaces overall.

Yes, hammers work on all the same blocks that pickaxes do, including obsidian, ancient debris, and ores. Use the appropriate material tier (diamond for obsidian, netherite for ancient debris) just like with pickaxes.

Hammers instantly harvest crops in a 3×3 area, dropping all the crops and seeds at once. This makes farming much faster than breaking crops individually.

Yes, hammers deal damage to mobs and can be used in combat. The 3×3 swing area makes them effective for hitting multiple mobs at once, though they don't have special combat bonuses beyond this.

Repair hammers on an anvil using the same material you crafted it from (wood, stone, iron, etc.), or combine two damaged hammers together. You can also use a grindstone to remove enchantments while repairing.

Yes, hammers are more durable than standard pickaxes and take longer to break, giving you better value from your crafted tools.

Hammers accept the same enchantments as pickaxes, including Efficiency, Unbreaking, Fortune, and Silk Touch. Enchant them at an enchanting table or with enchanted books on an anvil.

The 3×3 area works on all mineable blocks—stone, dirt, wood, ores, and more. This makes hammers useful for any large-scale mining or terraforming project.

Only Hammers Mod is lightweight and shouldn't cause performance problems. The 3×3 mining mechanic is handled efficiently, so you can use hammers freely without worrying about frame rate drops.
