Hammers+
by Repht
Hammers+ adds a line of hammers modeled on Thor's Mjölnir, crafted in survival and used for lightning, explosions and launching mobs into the sky.
What it does
Each hammer is built in a chain: a Hammer Head from iron and sticks, a Hammer Core from a netherite ingot, diamonds and smooth stone, and an Over Heated Hammer from a Nether star, obsidian and netherite ingots. Later tiers are made at the smithing table by combining an earlier hammer with an upgrade material, so the line grows as the player progresses.
The hammers turn ordinary combat into an effect-driven one. The Over Heated Hammer explodes like TNT on right-click, the Enhanced Hammer strikes mobs with lightning, and the Ranged Hammer can be thrown so that it calls lightning or an explosion where it lands. A left-click on the Enhanced Hammer launches mobs into the sky.
The mod is published for Forge only, in 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, released 2023-09-12. Files cover 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and the mod runs on the client or the server, so neither side strictly needs it.
Key features
Crafted hammer line
The Hammer Head, Hammer Core and Over Heated Hammer are built from common and rare materials in a fixed order.
Smithing upgrades
The Enhanced and Ranged Hammers are made at a smithing table from an earlier hammer and a second item.
Lightning and explosions
Hits and throws can call lightning strikes or detonate TNT-style blasts at the point of impact.
Sky launch
A left-click with the Enhanced Hammer lifts the target mob into the air.
Netherite-class stats
The Hammer Head is described as having stats similar to a netherite pickaxe, and the Ranged Hammer deals 7 melee attack damage.

Use cases
Survival progression
Players can work up through the hammer tiers as they collect netherite, diamonds and Nether stars.
Adding spectacle to fights
Players who want combat with lightning and explosions can rely on the hammers in mob encounters.
Who it’s for: Players who want a magic-themed weapon line in survival, and server owners who want a themed hammer set on a Forge server running 1.20.1.
How it compares
CrowsHammerMod is the closest alternative: Forge only, 1.20.1, with the same optional environment, and all rights reserved. Robo's Balanced Mining Hammer targets mining rather than lightning and launch effects, and it needs the client and server. Overworld Reforged uses Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 and is also a client and server mod for 1.20.1.
