I want to create harvest levels greater than what exists and one in-between. I have added a new material, adamant. This material is supposed to be better than diamond but only minable by diamond. How can I make the adamant ore a higher harvest level than diamond?  I'm sorry if this is super simple, sometimes my brain does not work right.

So, make its harvest level 4. You can absolutely do that, its just an interger.

Alright, so I have set the materials, their harvest levels as well as the blocks and their harvest levels. However, a bronze pick can mine every block. Any suggestions? Here is some code:

can mine every block

Do you mean...

a) can break the block

b) can break the block and gives item drops

You set your harvest level to 3 (not 4).

Harvest levels are stored via the integer variable (int), so you can't necessarily use a Harvest Level of say... 2.5. It probably is possible though, but if it is it will convoluted. Like Draco said above though, you can set the harvest level to any whole number. As long as it has a tool with a matching or higher harvest level, it can be broken by said tool.

Harvested. You can break any block with your first if you really want to.

I corrected my issue yesterday by including the new ore blocks into the effective-on set within Minecraft and including them within the exceptions list for harvest levels. Thank you all for being helpful and not getting frustrated by my stupidity.
