AOE Hammer

AOE Hammer

Upgradeable AOE pickaxes and shovels that mine 3×3, 5×5, and 9×9 areas. Hold Shift to mine a single block.

Hammer Mod adds upgradeable area-of-effect (AOE) mining tools for Fabric. Break one block and the tool mines a square area around it, so large tunnels, strip mines, and terraforming take far less time.

This mod includes two tool lines: Ore Pickaxes for stone and ores, and Shovels for dirt and similar blocks. Each line has three upgrade tiers.

## Features

– AOE mining in 3×3, 5×5, and 9×9
– Pickaxes only break pickaxe-mineable blocks
– Shovels only break shovel-mineable blocks
– Hold Shift (sneak) to mine a single block instead of the full area
– Tooltips show the mining area size
– Larger wall mining (5×5 and 9×9) is offset upward so more of the area is above the block you hit
– Netherite-tier tools are fire resistant
– Tools appear in the Tools & Utilities creative tab
