Jackhammer

The Jackhammer embodies raw industrial power, equally adept at large-scale excavation and devastating close-quarters AoE combat. This heavy-duty construct turns stone to dust and unleashes a continuous barrage, 'drilling' multiple opponents in a frontal cone. A true high-risk, high-reward weapon.

Mining Operations

Hold to Operate: Right-click and hold to activate.

Area Mining: When aimed at blocks, it continuously mines a 5x5 planar area every 0.4 seconds. Perfect for clearing large spaces.

Material Efficiency: Works on all pickaxe-mineable blocks, including obsidian and netherite.

AoE Drilling

Devastating Barrage: When activated, the jackhammer unleashes a drilling assault every 0.25 seconds in a frontal aoe (approx. 4-block range).

Multi-Target Mayhem: Entities caught in the cone are 'drilled', each taking 1.5 damage. Each hit applies minor knockback.

Intense Resource Drain: Hitting multiple targets significantly increases power and durability consumption.

Tactical Focus: If an AoE drill hits targets, block mining is paused for that drill pulse.
