I am currently trying to update a mod from 1.8 to 1.9, and in the process I saw that the method for making a block drop a custom item isn't working. The method I am using is just plainly overriding the quantityDropped and getItemDropped functions from the Block class and making them return variables I have predefined in my custom block class.

 

    private int dropamountmax;
    private Item dropsOnHarvest;

    @Override
    public int quantityDropped(Random random) {
        return dropamountmax;
    }

    @Override
    public Item getItemDropped(IBlockState state, Random rand, int fortune) {
        return dropsOnHarvest;
    }

 

Now, instead of dropping the Item dropsOnHarvest, it drops nothing when I break it with the correct tools and harvest level. Is there anything I might've missed in doing so?

Have you checked if your "private Item dropsOnHarvest" is not null? You might be setting it before you have item initilized.

Yes, that was it! In my init function where I register my items and blocks the item was being registered last. Thank you.
