Hammer Mining

by SGTSambam

Hammer Mining is a Fabric mod that lets a pickaxe carry a custom enchantment, which breaks a 3x3 area of blocks in one action.

What it does

A pickaxe enchanted with the Hammer enchantment mines the block the player is facing together with the blocks around it in a 3x3 area. The enchantment is applied with commands, enchantment books or an enchanting table, and it combines with other tool enchantments such as Efficiency and Fortune.

Only blocks that a pickaxe normally breaks are affected, so soft blocks like grass, flowers and vines are skipped. Blocks that are too soft to count do not start the area mining, which prevents abuse. The logic runs on the server, so the mod works in single-player and on multiplayer servers. Hammer Mining is distributed for 1.21 – 1.21.10 with 11 release versions, the latest being 2.1.0+1.21.10 for 1.21.10. It is not open source and all rights are reserved, though the source code is public.

Key features

  1. Area mining enchantment

    The Hammer enchantment breaks a 3x3 area of blocks in a single action, using the tool the player already holds.

  2. Pickaxe-only filter

    Only blocks a pickaxe would normally break are mined, so the enchantment does not clear soft ground cover.

  3. Hardness safeguard

    Blocks below a set hardness do not trigger the area mining, which limits how the enchantment can be exploited.

  4. Stacks with other enchantments

    The Hammer enchantment works alongside tool enchantments such as Efficiency and Fortune.
