Hi, I am having trouble getting an ore block to only be mined with an iron pickaxe or higher, and have all the other tools not drop an ore block. I heard that you could use the setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 4); statement to make a block only mineable by a certain tier of pickaxes. But, when I try it with  a wooden - stone pickaxe or shovel/axe, it still drops the block. Sorry if this is a stupid post, I'm extremely new to Forge. Let me know if you need the mod .java files.

I usually do it as so:

public static void setBlockHarvestLevels()
{
        exampleBlock.setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 2);
}

This usually gets called during preInit.

fairly certain you can also do it in the block itself in

 

	public ModOreName() {
	super(Material.rock);
	this.setHardness(46);
                this.setHarvestLevel(toolClass, level);
}
