Ore Hammer [Forge/Fabric/NeoForge]

About the Modification

This mod introduces a special crushing hammer into the game, along with grinding recipes for all types of ore blocks and raw ores, allowing you to obtain more resources. An ideal solution for resource gathering in the early stages of the game.

Main Features

Crushing Hammer

Craft your first crushing hammer using copper and a small amount of iron. The tool has a durability of 74 units and can be repaired on an anvil using copper ingots, allowing efficient use of excess copper.

Ore Dust

By using the crushing hammer, you can transform ores that yield ingots into raw ore dust - a valuable intermediate product for further processing.

Raw ore dust can be smelted in a furnace or blast furnace to obtain ingots, effectively doubling the base resource output:

Gems and Other Ores

Other types of ores also have crushing recipes, with diamonds and emeralds limited to double the base quantity to maintain game balance.

Balancing

To ensure the mod eases resource gathering in the early game without making it too powerful, the resource output when using the crushing hammer is limited to the equivalent of Fortune II enchantment.

This maintains the relevance of Fortune III enchantment, which still provides better average resource output.
