Q: What does the Soil Breaker enchantment do?
A: It allows hammers to break dirt, gravel and sand blocks easily, in addition to stone.
Q: How do I repair my hammer?
A: You can repair hammers by combining two damaged ones in a crafting table/anvil, combining hammers with crafting materials in an anvil or adding Mending to restore durability with XP.
Q: Do hammers support vanilla enchantments?
A: Yes, all hammers support standard vanilla enchantments like Efficiency, Unbreaking, Fortune and Mending. You can apply these enchantments to enhance mining speed, durability and loot yield just like regular tools.
