What is the material obsidian uses? I want to add a new ore to the game that can only be mined with a diamond pickaxe but what ever material I set it as I can mine it with all the pickaxes. I even set the resistance to 2000.0F but that does not help ether.

I don't have an answer for you but resistance controls if it can be destroyed by creepers, ghast fireballs, tnt, wither blasts, etc...

this.setHardness(hardness);

The material doesn't affect whether or not you can mine the block. What you are looking for is this code:

this.setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 3);

It goes in the block's constructor.

You would need to use something such as:

this.isToolEffective(type, metadata);

To set that tool(although im not sure how to get the type of pick but when i find that i will tell you)

Thank you.

I am having a new problem now. I was using miecraft code from the blocks classes to test out my block and I was just having it drop 2 clay balls. But now I have my own custom item that I want it to drop. How do I make it drop 2 of my Itemcristal on destruction?

getItemDropped and getQuantityDropped.

ok. But what do I add after them?

You need to return the Item you want dropped and an integer of how much.

 

Don't forget to use @Override to make sure you typed the method names and signature correctly.

Ok this is my code for the ore. As you can see I want to have it drop Itemcristal that is my item that I added to the game. I want it to 2 of them but it is not excepting my item. I have the cristal.java imported and my main java imported(cristalore.java). But it will not except Itemcristal

 

 

 

package net.Cristalore.mod.ore;

 

import java.util.Random;

public class Cristaloreblock extends Block {

 

 

public Cristaloreblock(Material material) {

super(material);

 

this.setHardness(10.0F);

this.setResistance(2000.0F);

this.setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 3);

this.setStepSound(soundTypePiston);

this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);}

 

 

 

 

public Item getItemDropped(int p_149650_1_, Random p_149650_2_, int p_149650_3_)

    {

        return Itemcristal;

    }

 

    /**

    * Returns the quantity of items to drop on block destruction.

    */

    public int quantityDropped(Random p_149745_1_)

    {

        return 2;

 

}

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister iconRegister){

this.blockIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon(cristalore.modid + ":" + this.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));

}

 

}

 

Try

public Item getItemDropped(int p_149650_1_, Random p_149650_2_, int p_149650_3_) {
        
	return MainModFile.Itemcristal;
    }

thank you that worked.

Your welcome, glad i could help you.
