This may be a Tinkers Construct specific question, but maybe not.

 

My machine accepts a pickaxe (similar to a Ender IO Farming Station).  I want to limit the harvest level of the pickaxes that are inserted into it.  I get the tool harvest level like this.

 

tool.getHarvestLevel(ItemStack.EMPTY, "pickaxe", null, null)

 

This works for all vanilla pickaxes and many mod pickaxes.  However all Tinker's pickaxes return a harvest level of 0.  Is there a way I can get the true harvest level of a Tinker's tool?  I would prefer to not have to add the Tinkers API.

...you don't know what that first parameter is for do you? Or why its important for things like Tinkers.

Correct.  I tried supplying an ItemStack with the tool also but still get a harvest level of zero.

You need to supply the actual tool ItemStack that the player has placed in the machine so that mods like Tinkers' Construct can read the NBT and determine the harvest level based on it.

 

If you supply an empty ItemStack or one without any NBT, Tinkers' Construct won't know what the harvest level is.

That explains a lot.  Based on this I learned that itemStack.getItem() returns an item with no NBT?

 

Because this works...

stack.getItem().getHarvestLevel(stack, "pickaxe", null, null);

 

but this doesn't...

 

isToolValid(stack.getItem());

private boolean isToolValid(Item tool) {
	tool.getHarvestLevel(new ItemStack(tool), "pickaxe", null, null);
	...
}

 

That's because the first one uses the same stack, the second one uses a new stack.
