Vanilla Hammers is a Bedrock addon from DARKLEXx that adds hammers for 3x3 mining. Strike the centre of a stone face or ore vein and the blocks around it break too. This vanilla hammers addon needs no experimental toggles and runs on Bedrock only.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 1.21.80 to 26.50.
What it adds
The hammers follow vanilla pickaxe tiers. A hammer breaks only what the matching pickaxe can break, so a wooden hammer will not mine diamond. Recipes mirror the vanilla tool recipes, with emerald and amethyst hammers as the exceptions because vanilla has no tools for those materials.
- Mines a 3x3 area around the block you hit.
- Works with Fortune, Silk Touch and Unbreaking.
- Plays in survival and creative, and in multiplayer.
- Compatible with achievements and with other addons, and may work with custom ores.
If you want other takes on the idea, Simple Hammers and Hammer Time cover similar ground.
How to install Vanilla Hammers
- 1.Download both files, the behavior pack and the resource pack, from the CurseForge page.
- 2.Open each .mcpack with Minecraft Bedrock, one at a time, to import it.
- 3.Create a world or open an existing one and activate either pack. The other switches on automatically.
Trade-offs
The two-file setup is the main hassle. The project links no public source repository, so you cannot inspect the code. If the hammers do not appear, work through fixing add-ons that do not work.

Questions about Vanilla Hammers.
3 questions
How do I install Vanilla Hammers on Bedrock?
Download both the behavior pack and the resource pack, then open each .mcpack with Minecraft Bedrock to import it. Activate one pack in a world's settings and the other turns on automatically. Importing only one file may leave the addon not working properly.
Does Vanilla Hammers need experimental toggles?
No. The addon does not use experimental features, so you can switch it on in a normal world without enabling any Experiments options. It works in both survival and creative modes.
Can Vanilla Hammers break any block?
No. The hammers are based on vanilla pickaxes and only break what the matching pickaxe can break. A wooden hammer cannot mine diamond, for example. Fortune, Silk Touch and Unbreaking all work on them.
