I am attempting to make my tool auto-smelt ores and to start figured I should try code for overriding base vanilla blocks. Problem being the event almost all tutorials used in older versions is event.block which seems to be gone in 1.8 forge.

 

@SubscribeEvent

public void onBlockHarvest(HarvestDropsEvent event) {

if (event.block == Blocks.iron_ore) {

event.drops.clear(); // remove vanilla drops

event.drops.add(new ItemStack(Items.iron_ingot));

}

}

 

}

 

^Using coolAlias method what do I replace event.block with to see if the player breaks iron-ore? I'm sure this is probably an easy fix. Thanks!

 

event.state will give you IBlockState, from it you can pull block / meta.

Ah thank you. Sorry to be really dumb but what would be on the other side of the event.state?  I tried Blocks.getstateID(13) but it did not work.

Something similar to what Glass shards uses right?

Sorry still trying to wrap my head around this.

Answer to your question is "Yes, literally SAME stuff."

 

What is the problem then? The concept is that IBlockState is a wrapped block with its meta to one object from which you can pull info.

Ok, thanks for your help.
