Simply Tools - Enhanced Tools for Minecraft
This mod is an improved version of the popular Vanilla Hammers and Vanilla Excavators addons, specifically adapted for Forge on Minecraft versions 1.19 and above.

Hammers function like pickaxes but mine resources in a 3x3 block area, significantly speeding up the ore mining process.
Excavators work similarly to shovels, also processing a 3x3 block area, making them indispensable for large-scale earthworks.

If MoreVanillaTools is present in your modpack, the tool materials from Simply Tools will automatically enable the creation of hammers and excavators within that system.
For additional special effects for most tools, it's recommended to use MoreVanillaLib in combination with Simply Tools.
