I am currently working on a block that will act as a quarry. However, I am currently stuck on how to actually target a specific block in the world for destruction. I have tried world.setBlockWithNotify(x,y,z,0) but after the blocks were destroyed I could not run into the area as I kept hitting an invisible wall of blocks (the new 'air' blocks i guess?).

 

Any ideas?

Look at buildcraft, it is open source you know

I have looked at buildcraft and he too uses setBlockwithNotify to replace blocks with air blocks once they are mined. My issue is that when I do the same thing the blocks do get replaced but I cant walk into the new 'air' blocks without being pushed back away from them as if they are still solid blocks.

Rather than replacing the blocks with air, make a small explosion that's 1 block big and won't spawn any particle effects. It's something like

Explosion exp = new Explosion()

exp.doExplosionB(true)

//exp.doExplosionA;

or you could try World.spawnExplosion()

That should break the blocks properly
