Early architectural shaping and anvil fabrication
The Iron Hammer requires 8 Iron Bar ingots and 3 Wood crafted at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil. Delivering 40% hammer power with a swing speed of 30, it efficiently removes natural and player-placed background walls inside shelters, caves, and abandoned cabins. Builders also rely on its swings to modify solid blocks into half-blocks and slopes, facilitating neat stairways and clean defensive firing slits.
Tier comparisons and combat utility
With 7 base melee damage and 5.5 knockback, it handles basic self-defense against early cave bats or slimes, although broadswords provide far better reach. Worlds that spawn with Lead generate the Lead Hammer instead, which boasts 43% hammer power and 9 base damage. Upgrading to the Light prefix lowers the tool's swing interval, allowing players to clear unwanted background tiles at a steady pace.
