Extra Hammers
by DavaRava
Extra Hammers gives players a set of NeoForge hammers that break several blocks at once, which speeds up mining and clearing an area.
What it does
Each hammer works like a pickaxe, but a single swing breaks a group of blocks instead of one. Hammer tiers follow the vanilla materials, so the recipes use wood, stone, iron, gold, diamond and netherite rather than new rare ingredients. The crafting steps stay simple, and the balance is kept close to the vanilla tool progression.
The mod is aimed at survival play and modded packs that already have their own progression, since it slots into the vanilla tool ladder. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Builds exist only for NeoForge and only for 1.21.1, and the author states that the mod will be kept up to date with the newest Minecraft releases. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Multi-block hammers
Hammers break several blocks in one action, which cuts down on repetitive digging in large areas.
Vanilla material tiers
Each hammer tier matches a vanilla material, so the progression feels familiar to players.
Simple crafting
Recipes use ordinary vanilla materials with no rare ingredients or complicated multi-step chains.
Vanilla-style textures
The hammer textures are drawn in the style of the vanilla tools, so they blend into the rest of the game.
Translations
The interface is available in English, German, French and Polish, with Russian listed as coming soon.

How it compares
Several NeoForge hammer mods exist for 1.21.1. Destruction Hammer is for 1.21.1 only and is released under All rights reserved, so its code is not open source. mrower's Hammer covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.8 under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license, which is also not open source. Neo Hammers is the one open source option here, released under the MIT License, and it covers 1.21 – 26.3 rather than only 1.21.1.
