Excavate Large Areas for Building

Planning Your Excavation

Hammers excel at clearing large spaces for construction projects. Before you start, plan the area you need to clear.

Excavation Process:

1. Mark out your building area with blocks or markers

2. Equip your hammer and stand at one corner

3. Use 3×3 mode to systematically clear rows of blocks

4. Work in a grid pattern to avoid missing sections

5. Switch to Precision Mode to remove individual blocks around edges or obstacles

Tips for Large Projects

• Start from the top and work downward to avoid falling
• Clear in straight lines to maintain organization
• Use Precision Mode to preserve nearby structures
• Bring multiple hammers and repair materials
• Consider the depth needed and plan your mining pattern accordingly

The 3×3 area makes excavation significantly faster than traditional tools, turning hours of work into minutes for foundation clearing and terrain modification.
