Only Hammers
Players who want faster mining can craft Only Hammers tools that clear a 3x1 area of stone and ore in one swing.
What it does
Hammers are added to the game in every tier from wood to netherite, each built from the matching vanilla material. A hammer mines a three-by-one area instead of a single block, so stone and ores come out faster than with a pickaxe. Sneaking while mining limits the break to one block when precision matters more than speed.
The mining radius can be changed, and so can the durability of the hammers, so a world can be tuned to a particular play style. Fabric API is required on every loader. Only Hammers runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with game versions 1.19 – 26.3 and 26 release versions in total, under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source. Cobbled Tools - Cobblemon requires it.
Key features
Vanilla-based hammer tiers
Hammers are crafted from wood through netherite, using the same materials as vanilla tools.
Three-by-one mining
A hammer breaks a row of three blocks wide by one deep, which clears stone and ore quickly.
Single-block sneak mode
Holding Shift while mining makes the hammer break only the block in front, for careful work.
Adjustable durability and radius
Durability of the hammers and the mining radius, which defaults to 3x1, can both be changed in the settings.

Use cases
Clearing stone quickly
Players excavating large stone areas can break through them faster than with a standard pickaxe.
Mining ore veins
A wider break pattern exposes more ore per swing, while sneaking narrows it when a vein needs care.
Who it’s for: Players who want a mining tool that covers more ground per swing, and server owners who want to adjust hammer durability and radius for their world.
