Have you ever been annoyed by the fact you need to pan for twenty more copper nuggets to actually make use of all the ore you just mined?
Or by inability to incorporate debarked logs and plaster into your early-game builds just because they require a hammer to craft?
Well, now you can debark wood, extract nuggets from ore chunks and crush limestone, chalk or even seashells with a simple stone mallet! However, crushing ore makes this primitive tool break apart rather quickly. In addition, these mallets can serve as effective close-range weapons, dealing about as much damage as poking with a stone spear. And if you have Wildcraft F&N and the Meat Mod installed, they will make great kitchen tools for cracking nuts and tenderizing meat - no need to waste your metal hammer's durability for such basic tasks!
But wait, there is more! This mod also fixes all those notoriously "borked" tool textures, including but not limited to: compressed hammer & saw textures, compressed flint shovel texture and z-fighting on stone knife handles! Not to mention that cleavers, which previously had weirdly high resolution, have gotten a visual rework and now fit much better together with all the other tools.
Changelog:
1.0.2:
- Fixed an unintended Wildcraft: T&S interaction due to which it was possible to trim charred logs into their debarked version using stone mallets
- Tried to adjust slightly squished chisel textures, with moderate success
1.0.1:
- Decided to make mallets suitable tools for ore crushing after all (yet inefficient, consumes 5 durability per item)
- Unborked saw textures
1.0.0:
- Added six knappable stone mallet heads (granite, chert, basalt, andesite, peridotite and flint)
- Added twelve types of stone mallets with wooden and bone handles
- Added the ability to crush seashells into lime using mallets and hammers
- Reworked cleaver model and texture - now they are more in-line with the rest of basegame tools
- Fixed all the broken basegame tool textures
Compatibilities:
- Wildcraft: Fruits and Nuts: mallets can be used for shelling nuts
- Wildcraft: Trees and Shrubs: debarked log recipe accepts mallets as hammer alternative
- Sonya's Meat Mod (WIP, unreleased): mallets require long bones as handles; they can be used for tenderizing tough meats

everything works, my apologies
KenigVovan this is not objectively true. In basegame, nugget extraction from ores is handled by code which determines type and amount. This is done to avoid listing every possible recipe for a ton of ore chunk items and their variants. Unfortunately this has the consequences of crafting output not being correctly shown in the handbook (it reverts to the default nugget - native copper). I only copied this basegame system from hammers to mallets. Actual crafting has the right outputs.
Grid recipes make copper nugget from any type of ore chunk
This will make early game much more bearable, especially with ore deposits at 20%, much appreciated!
Chalki no need to do that on your side anymore, I did that! I noticed your comment and decided why not XD
Chalki that is genius if u get it to work please lmk, I'll see if I can get it working too
Nice mod, I've been trying to edit it so that these hammers can crush ores but no luck so far. What would I have to edit to enable this? At the moment I'm using the Break Ore With Rocks mod but I'd like to replace it with yours, a stone hammer makes more sense. No more getting stuck early game trying to find enough copper nuggets for a hammer!
Are you able to also chisel with a stone mallet? Wondering as I have the early chiseling mod and would like to know if this would either work with it or conflict. Great mod regardless, cheers.
Edit: Can confirm this mod does work with early chiseling.
