Hi, I want to do something like autosmelting pickaxe, or like Thaumcraft's Pickaxe of the core, but I just don't know how to deal with it. First of all I don't know where to put Random, because if I put it in function func_150897_b (which should be named canToolBreak or something) it's called multiple times. I could set return of this function to always be false and spawn my item in onBlockDestroyed, but that just makes speed of breaking blocks as if I were breaking them with a fist. So my question is - could I still be breaking blocks at reasonable speed without them dropping?

 

Something like this should work:

 

public boolean onBlockStartBreak(ItemStack itemstack, int x, int y, int z, EntityPlayer player){
    if (!player.worldObj.isRemote){

    player.worldObj.setBlockToAir(x, y, z);
    // spawn item here
    }

itemstack.damageItem(1, player);
return false;
}

Something like this should work:

 

public boolean onBlockStartBreak(ItemStack itemstack, int x, int y, int z, EntityPlayer player){
    if (!player.worldObj.isRemote){

    player.worldObj.setBlockToAir(x, y, z);
    // spawn item here
    }

itemstack.damageItem(1, player);
return false;
}

Thanks, it worked, I didn't realise that I can look for this method in Item.class, I checked ItemPickaxe and ItemTool, but it wasn't there. TY very much.

That is what "extends" means in Java.  If a class extends another class it gets all of its methods unless you purposefully override them.  As a modder it is a good idea to check out the methods in all the parent classes for whatever you're modding.
