Hammerz

What is Hammerz?

Hammerz is a compact Minecraft modification that adds Tinkers Construct-style hammers for various tool materials. The mod supports both standard game materials and specialized materials from popular mods.

Main Features

Texture Styles

Unity-style textures (enabled by default)

Classic textures (enabled via configuration)

Hammer Features

Each hammer is crafted in a crafting table using the pickaxe shape pattern, but with corresponding ore dictionary blocks instead of ingots. For example, the copper hammer requires copper blocks from any mod.

Hammers mine resources in a 3×3 block area, similar to equivalent tools from other modifications. When right-clicking on a block, the hammer automatically searches the inventory for torches and places one if available — no need to keep torches on the hotbar.

Important feature: When mining blocks while sneaking, only one block will be broken. In the future, this function may be configured to apply additional tool damage or slow down work.

All hammers can be repaired using the same blocks or items used to create them.

Support for Materials from Other Mods

Although hammers are registered when corresponding blocks are present in the ore dictionary, material characteristics are based on specific mods:

• Copper, tin, bronze, ferrous, invar, silver, lead, electrum, and shiny — based on Thermal Foundation
• Steel — based on Railcraft Steel
• Thaumium — based on Thaumcraft

Specialized Hammers

Dark Steel Hammer follows the dark steel concept from EnderIO and can be upgraded similarly to other tools in this series. Empowerment levels 1-4 are available, with the hammer having significantly greater durability and maximum energy storage. Properties are inherited from the EnderIO configuration file.

Thaumium Hammer can be enchanted with Repair I and II, like other thaumium tools.

Botania Hammers — Manasteel and Elementium (Terrasteel is not added as it performs similar functions). Both are chargeable with mana and repairable in the same manner as Botania tools. The Elementium Hammer does not drop "junk" (cobblestone, netherrack, etc.).

RotaryCraft Hammers — HSLA steel hammer is a standard tool, while the Bedrock hammer has silk touch, is created in the blast furnace, and does not take damage.

Dependencies

Certain hammers require corresponding mods:

• EnderIO (and EnderCore) — for the dark steel hammer
• Thaumcraft — for the thaumium hammer
• Botania — for manasteel and elementium hammers
• RotaryCraft — for HSLA steel and bedrock hammers

Other hammers are registered when corresponding blocks are present in the ore dictionary.

Configuration

All hammers can be enabled or disabled through configuration. The dark steel hammer inherits configurable properties from EnderIO. Durability and speed multipliers are available for all hammers, maintaining set consistency.

Display of durability information in tooltips can be disabled, as well as the ability to mine a single block while sneaking.

Alternative Options

If this mod doesn't suit you, there are several alternative solutions:

• Tinkers Construct — the original mod with tool creation and upgrade system
• Simply Hammers — highly configurable approach with the ability to create custom hammers via JSON
• Hammer Time — mod with unique hammer, scythe, and excavator models
