Hammers
Hammers are a type of tool which can be used on any of the three types of Tumblestone Crystals (Red, Black and Sky) to gather Raw Tumblestones. Hammers can be obtained via crafting, or as loot from a village toolsmith chest. When a crystal is fully destroyed, 1-3 Raw Tumblestones are dropped, and the crystal will begin to regrow.
Additionally, hammers destroy a 3x3 area when they are used to mine. To balance this increased mining capability, hammers are typically 4x slower than a pickaxe of the same material and take additional durability damage according to the Hammer Durability Loss Multiplier. The Hammer Durability Loss Multiplier is by default set to 3, and can be changed in the config.yml file. The extra durability damage is calculated as follows:
Extra Damage = (Additional Blocks Broken Besides Targeted Block * The Hammer Durability Loss Multiplier) - Additional Blocks Broken Besides Targeted Block
If you only mine one block with a hammer, it will still only take 1 damage to its durability.
Extra Damage = (0 * 3) - 0 = 0
Total Damage = 1 Mined Blocks + 0 Extra Damage = 1
If you mine a maximum of 9 blocks with a hammer, it will take a total of 25 damage to its durability.
Extra Damage = (8 * 3) - 8 = 16
Total Damage = 9 Mined Blocks + 16 Extra Damage = 25
