Description
The only 1.7 mod to change the harvestability of blocks and tools
This 1.7.10 mod is mainly designed for modders and modpackers. It allows you to modify the the tools and conditions required to harvest blocks in a simple json located at "config/HarvestLevelConfig/harvest_levels.json" - The documentation will be updated. The mod must be on server and client.
Compatible with WAILA. (see screenshots)
How the json works (JSON)
For each block entry you have:
- name: The block's registry name (modid:block_name).
- metadata: Block metadata (-1 for ALL meta variants)
- tools: A map of tool types (pickaxe, axe......) to required harvest levels.
JSON
{ "blocks": [ { "name": "minecraft:stone", "metadata": -1, "tools": { "pickaxe": 3 } }, { "name": "minecraft:diamond_ore", "metadata": -1, "tools": { "pickaxe": 0, "axe": 0 } } ] }This makes stone require a level 3 pickaxe(diamond) to harvest. And this also makes diamond harvestable by any pickaxe/axe. *Blocks not defined fall back to default behavior. Ensure the JSON structure follows the provided example!
Comptability with WAILA
If you configured "Stone" in the json, it will show you all the tools that can harvest the "Stone" node. In green it it's currently selected. If you didn't configure "Stone" in the json, it will just show the tool that can harvest the "Stone" node, handled by minecraft.
*It is not a copy of WailaHarvestability mod ! If you use both mod, it will add the informations you can see in the picture. This mod is meant to work with the configured json and provide less details than WailaHarvestability and works better with WAILA only.
Refresh command
This mod also includes a /hlc refresh command (requires level 3 OP). It reloads the JSON file ingame, so you don't have to restart the game to have the changes!
