Hello,

I believe i know how to change the harvest level of a vanilla block but what i was wondering was how to prevent it from being broken with your fist.  Thanks for any help.

I have tried using 

Blocks.LOG.setHarvestLevel("axe", 0);

But i can still harvest it with my fist.  I can even harvest it with wood axe when i change the level to 2.  Am i doing something wrong or is it not possible to change vanilla block properties.

It actually only seems to be certain Blocks. For example I can do Blocks.DIAMOND_ORE, but not to either of the Logs. If you really want to override the logs like that use events.

Yes, the HarvestDropsEvent might come in handy here.

As well as the BreakSpeed event.

You forgot about the can_harvest_with_fist_if_Material_allows_it property

    public static final Material WOOD = (new Material(MapColor.WOOD)).setBurning(); //does not need tool
    public static final Material ROCK = (new Material(MapColor.STONE)).setRequiresTool(); //requires tool

Well i'd like to avoid using events because i personally dislike them but i will use them if it's the only way to achieve this.  @Draco18sThe methods used to set whether or not ir requires a tool are protected so i cannot change them.  Are events the only way to do what i'd like to do?

I find them to generally be messy in my experiences with them but i did say that i use them when i must.

I find that for things like what im trying to achieve here i'd rather be able to change a value in the block class than check multiple values in an event and respond accordingly.

Fair enough i didnt really think about that.  So can you explain to me where to put the events i need to use?

What about for materials that dont require a tool like wood.

Ok thank you.

One last thing, how can i remove all drops from the block during the harvest event.

HarvestDropsEvent::getDrops().clear() ?
