I'm trying to make some blocks drop something else if mined with my custom tool - hammer

Which blocks and what they drop with the hammer is generated dynamically when starting the game (based on config)

When mined without the hammer, they drop their normal drops
I've tried modifying loot tables in LootTableLoadEvent, but only vanilla loot tables go through there...
Is there any other way?

but there is a global multiplier in the config

could you please help me fix the issue instead of judging how I've set up my mod's configuration?

Ok, so you can register new materials in the config and one of the things you register is which ores you want to be hammerable into dusts of that material

I've seen ex nihilo use mixin, I guess I could do that...
But how?
The intro isn't really a tutorial

then what should I do?

So this means you are dynamically registering items/blocks? Doing that is not supported.

no, I'm not doing that, it's more like registering recipes

Ok, imagine I reworked it so it's registered in recipe JSONs and not in config, now how do I make this work?

but what if it is a mod? how can I generate loot tables dynamically?

I mean generating them when the game is started

because the output depends on the mod configuration
well, then how can I do that without loot tables?

then how do I make them controlled by configuration?

this is pretty convoluted way to say fuck you

Making certain (not known until startup which) blocks drop dusts instead of their normal drops when mined by a hammer

That's what loot tables are for. If someone wants to change the number dropped (ie "configure it") they can just override the loot table.

people who put together modpacks

I thought I'd make it simple for them, not having to create loot tables and such, just assigning the block to be hammerable
Since I'm getting no responses on how, but rather why, I guess it's not really possible (except for mixins???)

config files are deprecated now?
or it's just this one thing

Make a fabric mod with Artifice instead.
