How to give a tool unlimited uses

[AssassinHero]

Hey guys,

 

I am wondering how would you give a tool unlimited uses

 

I dont want the tool to ever break also i dont want the durability bar to appear

 

So giving the item a massive number like 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000  wouldnt work

 

Thanks in advance

Okay. Make sure to do a few things

1: Don't extend itemtool, extend item

2: just change a float that's something like effeciancyOnCorrectBlock

Wow far easier than I thought

Over ride these two methods from ItemTool:

    /**
     * Current implementations of this method in child classes do not use the entry argument beside ev. They just raise
     * the damage on the stack.
     */
    public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityLiving par2EntityLiving, EntityLiving par3EntityLiving)
    {
        par1ItemStack.damageItem(2, par3EntityLiving);
        return true;
    }

    public boolean onBlockDestroyed(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, int par3, int par4, int par5, int par6, EntityLiving par7EntityLiving)
    {
        if ((double)Block.blocksList[par3].getBlockHardness(par2World, par4, par5, par6) != 0.0D)
        {
            par1ItemStack.damageItem(1, par7EntityLiving);
        }

        return true;
    }

 

and remove the part which damages it.

 

this should also work, and allows for tool materials and effectiveness without having to add extra stuff to your item code

[endershadow]

take any item and add this code to your main mod class

MinecraftForge.setToolClass(ITEM, "pickaxe", HARVEST_LEVEL);

HARVEST_LEVEL is an int 0-3 where: 0 = wood/gold; 1 = stone; 2 = iron; 3 = diamond.
