Note: This mod is a WIP (Work In Progress). Nothing here is fully finished. I am entirely new to developing Minecraft mods the manual way. I have only ever made one other mod, Betterite, with MCreator.
Yet Another Hammer Mod (YAHM)
A Minecraft mod adding a few simple hammers. Hammers are crafted with two sticks and two of whatever material is specified.
The hammers are:
- Wooden Hammer (2 planks)
- Stone Hammer (2 cobblestone)
- Iron Hammer (2 iron ingots)
- Gold Hammer (2 gold ingots)
- Diamond Hammer (2 diamonds)
- Netherite Hammer (2 netherite ingots)
The hammers act and function like pickaxes, and can break blocks in accordance with their equivalent tier of pickaxe. Wood can't break Iron Ore, but Stone can. Iron can't break Obsidian, but Diamond can.
Planned features
- Config
Configuration will be done with TOML, like most mods, and will have several true/false values to toggle.
- Replacing pickaxes
Since hammers are 1:1 to pickaxes, entirely replacing pickaxes with them would work well. I'd have to figure out a way to not break recipes that use pickaxes though.
