[ 1.15.2 ] Block won't drop item when broken [SOLVED]

[saoj12]

I'm trying to make a custom block, which is mostly the same as an iron block, except with a different texture. However, for some reason, when I break the block in survival mode the corresponding BlockItem won't drop. I was under the impression that I didn't have to add any code to make this happen, was i wrong in thinking this? Here is my code:

 

public class CustomBlock extends Block{
    public CustomBlock() {
        super(Block.Properties.create(Material.IRON, MaterialColor.IRON).hardnessAndResistance(5.0F, 6.0F).sound(SoundType.METAL).harvestTool(ToolType.PICKAXE).harvestLevel(1));
    }
}

 

I have made I am breaking the item in-game in the same conditions as I'm breaking the iron block. The BlockItem is also definitely registered as I can hold it in my hand

You also need to add a loot_table file for your block drops. If you need an example check out the vanilla jar file. Or look it up.

Okay thank you, that's exactly what I needed to know. 

One more thing, how do I look at the vanilla jar file? Up until now I've been right-clicking net.minecraft classes and clicking goto declaration in my IDE ?

In eclipse in the package explorer there is Reference Libraries -> client-extra.jar You can look at all the assets and data files for vanilla in there.

If you are not using eclipse I'm not sure of the entire process but somewhere there should be a client-extra.jar file you can look into. If not you can always go to your .minecraft folder and open the 1.15.2 versions jar file.
