[1.7.10] disallowing tooluse under a certain condition

[howpenguin]

I'm making a mod that has a level system where you need to be a certain level to use certain tools or weapons or armor. How would I make it so that if they're not a certain level the player cannot use the specific tool? Thanks in advance!

I guess PlayerUseItemEvent is a good place to start

for example, check if the item is a pickaxe and if the players level is less then 10 and the cancel then event.

I dont know what to do for the armor

Ive tried using PlayerUseItemEvent but it does not work for tools.

For armour, I would check if the player has a certain level and if they don't have the required level/armour, then dequip the armour (this may cause some problems if the players inventory is full though).

Okay thanks! Ill try that! Any ideas on how to do this for tools?

maybe try the same thing, if someone tries to use a pick they can't use, then it gets switched to another slot. If there isn't another slot then it would drop the pick on the ground.

Alright, thanks ill go ahead and try that!
