Adding Hammers to 1.17

Hammers would be a new craftable tool essential for mining and combat. Hammers can be made with the following, from weakest to strongest: Stone < Gold < Copper < Iron < Diamond < Netherite Hammers deal more damage than swords. Let's use a netherite hammer for an example, a netherite sword would deal 8 damage per hit, but a netherite hammer would deal 12. Hammers are pretty expensive, however, as they are crafted with 2 sticks in the middle, 2 blocks on each side and the material's regular form in the middle. Hammers disable the ability to sprint, and when you attack with it, it takes a bit to charge back up to hit again. Stronger hammers involve more efficiency, durability, and damage, the stronger hammers have longer charge time. You cannot put sharpness, smite, bane of arthropods, or efficiency enchantments on hammers. Hammers would dig out a 3x3 hole while mining. Adding hammers would be really fun and would be a useful tool to have.

  Honestly, hammers would not follow the normal tier tree in the slightest. Doing damage with the hammer involves the mass of the hammer head stopping and imparting large energy upon the target. Higher density = more damage.
  Stone is 3t/m³. Diamond is 3.5t/m³. Iron is 7.8t/m³. Copper is 8.9t/m³. Gold is 19.3t/m³. Hellstone is 10-30t/m³, depending on the density of the scrap.
  The one case in which Gold is actually better than most things. Durability might still be poo, but it might be worth it.
