Crushing Hammer
by GoldenMaus
Crushing Hammer adds crushing hammers in every tool tier, from wood to netherite, that turn metal ingots into crushed materials for alloy recipes in GoldenMaus's tools mods.
What it does
The hammers are crafting tools with one purpose: crushing ingots into crushed materials. Those crushed materials become usable components for recipes, and they supply the alloy system in GoldenMaus's tools mods. Each hammer tier covers a stage of the tool progression, so the crushing step scales with the player's gear.
The mod is meant for players who want a realistic, functional way to prepare ingredients for advanced crafting. Crushed ingots combine into specific alloys, which places the hammers between smelting and the later crafting steps. Crushing Hammer needs GoldenMaus's Tools collection, which is required as a dependency, so it cannot run as a standalone addition. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for NeoForge on 1.21.5 – 1.21.10, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.10 as the latest file. The mod is licensed as All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features

Hammers are used only for crafting, turning ingots into crushed materials rather than serving as weapons or mining tools.
Alloy system support
Crushed ingots feed GoldenMaus's alloy system, letting players build specific alloys from crushed materials.
Standalone crafting tools
The hammers add a dedicated crafting step to the game without changing how other tools work.
