Only Hammers And Excavators

by BlockLegend001

Only Hammers And Excavators adds hammer and excavator tools that break a 3x1 area per swing, made from every vanilla tool material.

What it does

Hammers break blocks across a 3x1 area in the same way pickaxes work, while excavators clear loose surfaces such as soil, sand and gravel over the same area, as shovels do. Every tool is based on a vanilla material, from wood up to netherite, so the mod slots into existing progression. Sneaking while using a tool limits it to a single block instead of the full area.

The mod suits players who want larger digging reach without leaving vanilla materials behind. It also lets server owners and players tune the tools: durability values can be changed for every tool, and the mining radius can be adjusted from the default 3x1. Fabric API is required, so it must be installed beside the mod on Fabric. The tools run on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 26 release versions, 1.19 – 26.3, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Area-mining hammers

    Hammers break blocks in a 3x1 area, working like pickaxes over a wider footprint.

  2. Area-mining excavators

    Excavators clear loose surfaces across the same 3x1 area, with shovel-style results.

  3. Vanilla material tiers

    Each tool type is made from every vanilla material, from wood to netherite.

  4. Single-block sneak mode

    Sneaking while using a tool makes it break only one block instead of the full area.

  5. Adjustable durability and radius

    Durability values for all tools and the mining radius, default 3x1, can be changed to suit a playstyle.
