Stalwart Dungeons Hammer Tiers and Crafting
Hammers are Stalwart Dungeons' core weapon, built as a tier ladder from wood up to tungsten. This guide covers how to craft and upgrade them.
Crafting the base hammers
Each hammer follows the same shape — four of a metal, a 
Smooth Stone and two 
Stick:
Iron Hammer — four 
Iron Ingot.
Golden Hammer — four 
Gold Ingot.
Diamond Hammer — four 
Diamond.
The wood and stone tiers work the same way with their materials, giving an accessible early hammer before you reach diamond.
Upgrading
The top tiers come from smithing rather than a fresh craft. Upgrade a Diamond Hammer with a 
Netherite Ingot to make a 
Netherite Hammer, the standard end-game hammer. Tungsten, mined from the mod's dungeons, provides a parallel high-tier option.
Using hammers
Hammers trade speed for impact, making them combat tools rather than mining picks. Because the upgrade path mirrors vanilla tools — metal tiers up to diamond, then a netherite smithing step — you can slot hammer crafting into your normal progression and carry one as a dedicated dungeon-clearing weapon.
Where hammers sit in the recipe list
The mod's 55 crafting recipes cover its tools, and its 6 smithing transforms cover the upgrades. Against 59 items, that means most of the item list is either a tool, a part or a material for one of those two systems.
Recycling and materials
4 smelting and 2 blasting recipes handle the material side, so ore processing here is minimal — the mod expects you to arrive with metal rather than to produce it.
9 stonecutting recipes cover the block variants among its 39 blocks.
Version note
This is a 1.20.1-only line (1.2.8). Nothing here applies to a 1.21.1 pack.
Practical advice
Because the smithing list is only six entries, work out which upgrade you are aiming for before spending rare material on a base tool. The crafting list is broad enough to build several tools, but the upgrade path is narrow.
Working within a small mod
With 55 crafting recipes and 6 smithing upgrades, this is a mod you can hold in your head. That changes the sensible approach: rather than consulting a recipe list per item, read the whole crafting list once and note which entries feed the six upgrades. Everything else is either a base tool or a decorative block.
