To craft the Wooden Cartoon Crush Hammer:

Overview

Spider Pig's Cartoon Hammer adds two oversized melee weapons with exaggerated knockback, jumping attacks, and a visual squash effect. The hammers are useful for both combat and entertaining mob experiments.

The mod also includes a Spider-Costumed Pig Merchant who offers the Wooden Cartoon Crush Hammer in exchange for carrots and oak planks.

What It Adds

How To Use

Holding the Hammer

Hold either hammer in your main hand or off-hand. When you press jump while holding one, you receive Jump Boost II for a short time, helping you reach targets for an aerial attack.

The Jump Boost effect is a hammer ability rather than a permanent player effect. It is removed when you stop holding both hammers.

The Wooden Cartoon Crush Hammer grows in your first-person view while you hold it, reaching its largest size after roughly three seconds.

Ground Attacks

Attack a living target while standing on the ground to send it flying away from you. The target is also hit by the hammer's normal melee damage.

Cartoon Crush Attacks

Jump and attack while airborne to perform the hammer's special impact:

• Deals the hammer's normal melee damage plus additional crush damage.
• Slams the target downward.
• Greatly slows and weakens the target.
• Visually flattens the target with a cartoon squash effect.
• Lasts for up to three seconds.
• Creates cloud and critical-hit particles and plays a heavy impact sound.

Aim at the ground near groups of mobs for a dramatic landing attack, or use the Jump Boost to reach taller targets.

Durability

Each successful hit consumes one point of hammer durability. The hammers do not stack.

Both hammers are recognized as weapon- and mace-enchantable items, so they can be used with applicable Minecraft enchantments.

Crafting And Obtaining

Wooden Cartoon Crush Hammer

Craft the Wooden Cartoon Crush Hammer with red wool, iron ingots, a slime ball, and a stick.

The recipe becomes available when you enter a world. You can also obtain the hammer from the Spider-Costumed Pig Merchant or from the Creative inventory.

Golden-Banded Cartoon Crush Hammer

Combine a Wooden Cartoon Crush Hammer with one gold ingot. This is a shapeless recipe, so the two ingredients can be placed in any crafting slots.

The recipe becomes available after you obtain a Wooden Cartoon Crush Hammer.

Spider-Costumed Pig Merchant

The merchant is available from the Spider-Costumed Pig Merchant Spawn Egg in the Creative Spawn Eggs tab. You can also give yourself the egg with:

/give @s cartoon-crush-hammer-npf7cnj7:cartoon_pig_merchant_spawn_egg

Use the egg on the ground to spawn the merchant, then interact with the pig to open its trade screen. Its offer requires:

• 16 carrots
• 3 oak planks

In return, it provides one Wooden Cartoon Crush Hammer. The merchant has one fixed offer and does not use villager leveling.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Both hammers can be held in either hand to activate the jump ability.
• Jumping while holding a hammer grants a temporary Jump Boost II effect.
• Grounded attacks launch targets away from the player.
• Airborne attacks trigger the full cartoon crush impact.
• Living targets can be flattened and immobilized by the crush effect.
• Airborne crush attacks deal extra damage in addition to the hammer's normal attack.
• The Wooden Cartoon Crush Hammer grows in the first-person view while being held.
• Successful attacks reduce durability by one.

Progression And Strategy

Start with the Wooden Cartoon Crush Hammer and practice the difference between grounded and airborne attacks. Use grounded swings to push mobs away, then use Jump Boost to leap over or toward a target for a stronger crush attack.

Upgrade to the Golden-Banded Cartoon Crush Hammer as soon as you have a gold ingot. Keep both variants repaired or replace them as their durability decreases, especially when using repeated jump attacks against large groups of enemies.
