Easy Hammers
by yigitguven
Easy Hammers adds hammer tools that break a 3x3 area of blocks with a single swing, for players who want faster strip mining.
What it does
Each hammer works like a pickaxe but mines a three-by-three area at once, so one swing can break nine blocks. Crafting follows the usual pickaxe pattern, with a heavier head, and the tiers run from wooden to netherite, mirroring the vanilla tool progression. Large excavation jobs take far fewer swings than with a standard pickaxe.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 9 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.11, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the mod open source. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are public.
Key features
3x3 mining
Every hammer breaks a three-by-three area per swing, which suits large-scale excavation and strip mining.
Five hammer tiers
Wooden, stone, iron, golden, diamond and netherite hammers follow the vanilla tool progression.
Pickaxe-style crafting
Hammers are crafted with the standard pickaxe pattern, with a heavier head than a pickaxe.
Tier traits
Wooden and stone hammers suit early clearing, iron is a steady workhorse, golden is fast but fragile, and diamond and netherite trade speed for durability.

Use cases
Strip mining
A single pass with a hammer clears a three-wide tunnel, which cuts the time spent on long shafts.
Early-game clearing
The wooden and stone hammers clear trees and stone patches before better tools are available.
Who it’s for: Players who dig large areas or run long excavations in survival and multiplayer worlds. Server owners who want the same mining tools for every player install it on both sides.
