[SOLVED][1.7.10] How does one set the harvest level for an ore?

I am currently creating a mod that requires some of the blocks to have a harvest level.

This is not very specific I know, but all I am asking for is something basic.

It is implied that you must add the ".setHarvestLevel( [tool], [level])" method as part of the initialize Block event, but doing this produces an error. "Type mismatch: cannot convert from void to Block" As I look around the internet for help, I find none, and looking for tutorials seems to not work either, as there are none.

    Hi XenoMustache

     

    Since you did not post any code of yours, it's hard to guess what went wrong.

     

    I'd just mention (what you probalby read a lot) that you may set the harvest level in the constructor of your block extending class. Or right after the initialization of your block object. For convience and easy-to-use minecraft often returns the object when setting something, so you can call the constructor and 'chain' a lot of settings (see the register... method in net.minecraft.block.Block).

     

    Now for you error: This seems like you do this chaining and for unkown reasons the method you are calling does _not_ return the block object.

     

    May my reply was helpful

    Sincerely -pick

    Since English is not my mother tongue, my sentences may are confusing.

     

    I'm coding java for a long time now - just MC and forge stop me sometimes.

    Actually, it's just a convenience thing.  You can totally do it inside the block's constructor (which is what I do, because then as many properties of that block that I can get away with are inside that block's class--liquids have things that are required elsewhere, etc. etc).

     

    Also, "initialize Block event"?  Are you using an event handler of some kind?

    Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

     

    Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

     

    DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

    Yes I am using an event handler. I couldn't find where in the block's constructor to add this method either.
