Zeph's Hammers

by ZephaniahNoah

Zeph's Hammers, a Forge and NeoForge equipment mod, adds hammers that break a 3x3 area of blocks at once, and crafting them is tied to the ores in the mods installed.

What it does

Hammers from this mod break blocks in a 3x3 area when used on a block, and sneaking while breaking limits the action to a single block. The hammer recipes draw on metals such as copper, tin and nickel, and they also accept materials from ore mods, so installing more ore mods opens more hammer options. Zeph's Hammers requires Ez Mod Lib, and the environment is client and server, so players and the server both need it. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is open source with public source code and an issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Area mining hammers

    Some hammers break a 3x3 block area per action, saving time on large digging jobs.

  2. Sneak for single blocks

    Sneaking while breaking with a hammer limits the break to one block, so precise work stays possible.

  3. Ore-based recipes

    Hammer recipes accept metals from ore mods, so more installed ores give more hammer crafts.
