Vanilla Hammers adds in a ton of new Hammer items, which mine out a 3x3 area in front of the player. Very useful for large-scale excavation and mining!
Each Vanilla Hammer item is based on a vanilla material; the stats of the hammer grow as the material gets rarer. Each hammer has the same mining level as the vanilla tool counterpart, but it has more durability and is slower to use. Why use a diamond pickaxe when you can use an awesome hammer?
Make sure to explore all the fun advancements available (and the secret ones as well!). Craft a Wooden Pickaxe to unlock the tab.
To repair a hammer, place it in an anvil with its respective material type. There are config options to disable certain materials, for those who want a true vanilla experience. You can also configure how the 3x3 hitbox looks.
Vanilla Hammers requires the Fabric Loader and Fabric API to run. For a Forge variant, check out MelanX's port here. Recipes can be found in the images tab of this page. Have fun!

Jars before this version are still licensed to you under the GPLv3 license. The main implication of this is that you should provide sources when distributing built versions before 3.2.0 (for the sake of the other contributors - I personally don't care), but you can do whatever you want when distributing files from version 3.2.0 onwards.
