# About<\/p>\n
**Tired of endless digging in Minecraft? Use a hammer!**<\/p>\n
This mod adds hammers that function like pickaxes but in a 3×3 area which greatly simplifies resource gathering and digging in the middle and late stages of the game.<\/p>\n
# How It Works <\/p>\n
To obtain a hammer, you must first find a new smithing template to upgrade your pickaxe. It can be found in villages: most often in the weaponsmiths, toolsmiths, and armorers houses, less often in regular houses. <\/p>\n
Using a smithing template and a block of appropriate material on a smithing table, you can upgrade your pickaxe to a brand new hammer.<\/p>\n
