Craft powerfulHammers and Excavators that mine or dig in a 3×3 area, perfect for clearing stone, dirt, and other materials quickly while keeping the gameplay balanced and authentic to Minecraft’s core experience.
🔨How It Works
Just craft them directly using standard materials!
Each tool follows the vanilla tier progression, from wood all the way to netherite.
Recipes for every variant are shown below with images for easy reference.
