Hammers

Hammers are tools that as of 1.2, are used to create half-blocks and slopes. They can still destroy walls

Upper-level hammers have high damage and can serve as weapons. The highest levels obtainable before defeating the Wall of Flesh are known as "Hamaxes" and can serve as both Hammer and an Axe. A Pwnhammer or better is required to destroy Demon Altars, however this is only possible in a world where the Wall of Flesh has been defeated. When attempting to destroy one with a lesser hammer, or prior to defeating the Wall of Flesh, the player will take damage, and the Demon Altar will remain unharmed.

New players do not spawn with a hammer.
