I'm trying to create a small mod using Forge and I was wondering how to create a custom ToolMaterial and use it for a sword and a pickaxe. I've seen that EnumToolMaterial is the way minecraft implements ToolMaterials and i was wondering if i could use it to create my own tools.

 

I know this isn't a lot of information but its all i got.

Use EnumHelper#addToolMaterial(...)

This will return you the material to use for your items.

Yes I've figured that one out myself.

But how do you use the actual material?

...The ItemTool constructor expects it.

I've figured it out.

Thanks a lot!
