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

[XenoMustache]

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

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?

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

Well, adding this method to the block constructor worked, thank you.
