Attacking

The Steel Hammer doubles the strength of knockback hits (sprint hits). This switches the attacking damage type from Bonking to Walloping.

Attacking in this manner also triggers Shield Breaching - so you can smash through shields and knock enemies back in one blow.

Usage

Use the Steel Hammer near any dropped item to Hammer it. This has one of three outcomes.

• Noisemaker
  • Makes a sound and particles on the dropped item. Trips Sculk sensors.
• Tool Usage Recipe
  • The target item will be hammered into a Plate or Sheet.
• Anvil Mimicry
  • The item in your offhand will be applied to the target dropped item if possible.

Wall Jumping

Attack the ground with a full attack bar and positive Y velocity to launch yourself backwards into the air.

If you hold another Steel Hammer in your offhand, Dual Wielding will activate - boosting the strength of your walljump.

If an Observer is facing into the block that you walljump off of, that Observer will be activated.

Having the Strength effect will boost the strength of your walljump, but having the Weakness effect or any Entity Weight will decrease it.

Mining

The Steel Hammer is a Instabreak Tool - it has a set of blocks that it can instantly break no matter the circumstance. For the Steel Hammer, this includes shatterable / fragile blocks such as Glass, Ice, and Crystal Buds.

It can also break Beacons faster.
