I've been trying to sort this out for a few days but unfortunately I've had no success. I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to add xp drops to an ore for 1.17.1. Anyone help would be appreciated, thanks!

take a look at the vanilla OreBlock and copy the logic to your own Block

I should've mentioned that's what I've done the past few days. I don't wanna be told exactly how to do it just a little guidance 

then show what you tried 

@Override public int getExpDrop(BlockState state, LevelReader reader, BlockPos pos, int fortune, int silktouch) { return silktouch == 0 ? this.RANDOM.nextInt(10) : 20; }
this is what i've recently tried and it did drop xp but it drops it regardless if silk touch is involved or not

but other than that they've just been variations of that

the code should work, if the SilkTouch level is 0 it will return a random xp count between 0 and 9, if the SilkTouch level is not 0 it will return constantly 20

Ah i see the issue i had it set to give 20 xp with silk alright. Is there anything i can replace random with so for example itll always drop 10 xp

in which case? with SilkTouch, without SilkTouch or in both

Ok so i have this right which means without silk touch it'll drop between 0-9 xp and 0 with silktouch so i assume the 0-9 is because of that this.RANDOM. So im wondering if i can change that RANDOM so it always drops the 10 xp or if im just over thinking this

@Override

public int getExpDrop(BlockState state, LevelReader reader, BlockPos pos, int fortune, int silktouch) {

return silktouch == 0 ? this.RANDOM.nextInt(10) : 0;

}

But to answer simply without silktouch

Nevermind i got it figured out! I appreciate your help Luis
