Why is my HarvestLevel not working properly? 1.14.2

[Kaelym]

When i place a block, with this block class:

Spoiler

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.BlockState;
import net.minecraftforge.common.ToolType;

public class ElypsisStonePickaxeBlocks extends Block{

    public ElypsisStonePickaxeBlocks(Properties properties) {
        super(properties);
    }
       @Override
       public net.minecraftforge.common.ToolType getHarvestTool(BlockState state) {
          return ToolType.PICKAXE;
       }

       @Override
       public int getHarvestLevel(BlockState state) {
          return 3;
       }

}

i can still pick it up with a wooden pickaxe.

 

the line for my block:

Spoiler

setup(new ElypsisDiamondPickaxeBlocks(Block.Properties.create(Material.IRON).hardnessAndResistance(2.0F, 30.0F).sound(SoundType.STONE)), "amber_block"),
               

there are no warnings/errors in my log related to this.

forgot version.

Overriding the getHarvestLevel method and returning an Int value works for me. But then again I'm not dropping the block via a Loot Table, I spawn desired items in spawnAdditionalDrops method, and this is called when the block is harvested.

i am also having the same issue. i tried to use the spawnAdditionalDrops but it is still being called even when i use my fist. what version of forge are you both using maybe it has something to do with that. i am using forge-1.14.2-26.0.25

 

i had the idea of using json to check if you are using a diamond pick but this would get very messy when using multiple tools and tool types and it would not truly fix the problem.

 

i am going to try a few different forge versions and see if it works on an older or newer one. ill be sure to report back with any findings

I FOUND OUT WHY!!!

 

i tried to change to the newest version and the problem persisted.

 

after delving into the forge files i was able to find out that it had nothing to do with forge not working properly and had everything to do with the material type. in older versions of minecraft the material did not really mean much. now there are materials that require no tool.

 

take a look at net.minecraftforge.common.ForgeHooks if you are interested.

 

all i had to do was change my blocks Material from SAND to ROCK and everything worked as expected.

Yeah, that's not true at all.

im not sure what i said that is not true. maybe next time you can be more descriptive with your words.

 

i modded long ago with 1.5.2 and jumped all the way to 1.14 and so i dont know about any of the versions in between.

 

if you are talking about the materials not meaning much in older versions, in 1.5.2 the materials had no major effect on the block and were mainly used as a grouping system by mods.

 

if you are talking about the materials in 1.14 there are definitely materials that force the block to not require any tool to be harvested. as i posted before you can check it out in:

I don't remember many details back in 1.5.2, but I know for a fact that harvesting being affected by the block's material was true in 1.7.2 because I remember having this exact issue way way back then. I modded some in 1.5 and 1.6 as well, but not as much as I did in 1.7, so I'm pretty confident in my statement that materials affecting harvesting has been true for a long, long time.
