Hammers

Hammers are tools required to remove most background objects, ie. those that players can pass over rather than collide with. Background objects include Placed Furniture, Crystal Hearts, Shadow Orbs, Wood Platforms, and background Walls.

Upper-level hammers have high damage and can serve as weapons. The highest levels are known as "Hamaxes" and can serve as both Hammer and an Axe.

New players do not spawn with a hammer.
