Iron Hammer
by ZeioDust
Iron Hammer adds six hammer tools for NeoForge, one for each vanilla material tier, that break a 3×3 area and follow the same progression as pickaxes.
What it does
Each hammer works like a pickaxe but breaks a 3×3 area when it digs. The set runs from Wooden through Netherite and matches the vanilla tier order, so durability, digging speed and effectiveness rise in the same steps as the pickaxes of each material. The hammers can break ores and stone-based blocks, and the mod aims to speed up excavation while leaving the game's tool progression intact.
The mod is for NeoForge only and is published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 11 release versions. Both the server and every player need it, because the environment is client and server. The code is not open source; it is covered by All rights reserved, and the public source code link is the only other public resource listed.
Key features
Six tiered hammers
Wooden, Stone, Iron, Golden, Diamond and Netherite hammers are added, one for each vanilla material tier.
3×3 mining area
A hammer breaks a square of nine blocks at once while it digs, so larger excavations take fewer swings.
Pickaxe-like behavior
Each hammer breaks ores and stone-based blocks the way a pickaxe of the same material would.
Vanilla tier progression
Durability, digging speed and effectiveness scale with the material tier, following the vanilla pickaxe order.

Use cases
Faster excavation
Players clearing stone, digging out veins or leveling terrain can cover more blocks per swing with the same tier progression.
Who it’s for: Players who want quicker digging on NeoForge without altering the progression of the vanilla tools. Server owners adding the mod need it on the server and on every client that joins.
