Hammer Mode

Description
Tired of having to hammer blocks multiple times just to get the slope or half block you want? Well then Hammer Mode is the mod for you!
Hammer Mode allows you to select which slope a block should be hammered to.

All you have to do is press the configured hotkey (mouse 2 / right click by default) while holding any hammer to bring up a grand design-like menu.
Simply click on one of the options to select a mode.
An icon will be shown next to your cursor to show which mode is currently selected.
To disable hammer mode, select the currently enabled mode in the menu again. When hammer mode is disabled, hammers will regain their vanilla Terraria behaviour.

Hammer mode also features a 'only-break-walls' mode. When this mode is enabled you can't hammer any blocks and can only break walls.
When another mode is active, breaking walls will be prevented.

This mod should be compatible with other mods. Please let me know if you find any issues.

Hello Phoenixx,

You’ve made an amazing mod to improve the Hammer in Terraria. I realized I’m missing a similar upgrade for "The Grand Design." Here’s my idea:

Right-clicking opens the wire placement/removal menu like in vanilla Terraria.
A side window allows inserting placeable items (blocks, platforms, walls, etc.).
The item in this slot can be placed or removed like The Grand Design handles wires.
A hammer function could reshape or rotate blocks in lines instead of one at a time.
This mod would make building arenas, platforms, farms, Hoiks, and more much easier.

I can’t code, so I’m sharing this idea for anyone who wants to create it. Feel free to use or pass it on.

Thank you, Phoenixx, for the amazing "Hammer Mode," and thanks to everyone who reads this. I wish you all the best! :)

Hey brother, you forgot to give Rockfish this feature

Also, as a request, perhaps a toggle for the hammer mode setting displaying next to cursor?

Great mod, but it'd be nice if you could just hold down click and move the cursor over blocks without having to click for each one individually.

Great QOL mod, but a small issue is that when the mod is enabled, I can't rotate traps. This wasn't too much of an inconvenience but just a heads up to the newwcommers.

can you add a mode where you hold rightclick and drag in one of 6 directions? that should make it even faster to use, though i imagine that some people will find it weird, so it should probably be a setting in mod config

This should be in the base game! This is essential and makes it so, so much easier to play with angling blocks. Thank you!

Worked fine on 1.4.4 so far, very useful. Today I noticed it doesn't work on actuated (=disabled with wire) tiles.
