Well, you use a hammer in other contexts like you use a Pickaxe, etc.

Are you sure that is not a hammer?

For me, although YouTube videos can be helpful, I found the wiki far more helpful. But I am a software engineer, and accustomed to that style of documentation, where you get a general idea of what you want to do, and then start looking for the widgets that you need to do it. 😉

That said, I’m very amused by the description of Minecraft as “a computer game in which you, the protagonist, exist as a sort of sprite with a hammer out in front of you,” since of all the tools available to you in vanilla, un-modded Minecraft, a hammer is not one of them. 😉 That thing you’re running around with is your *fist*.

There is a certain whimsical joy in starting a new Minecraft survival world and punching trees so you can build a crafting table and your first tools.
