Letting pickaxes mine any block

No, it's an issue with your old code. Do you not understand how to retrieve data from a Map? It's outlined in the tutorial: Maps exist like a PO box. You put your value in a PO box, and the PO box number is your "key". In order to get your item back, you need the "key" in order to retrieve the "value". Insertion uses

Code:

.put(key, value)

whereas retrieval is

Code:

.get(key)

 

@1Rogue I know how to use a hashmap. I just don't understand what you're DOING with it that needs me to put the value in. And I did test it. If I'm an op, it would work, but if I wasn't an op, it wouldn't work.

 

You map a material, such as DIAMOND_ORE, to the list of itemstacks that diamond ore should drop when you break it. Moving on to your BlockBreakEvent, when a block is broken, you see if you've defined custom drops in your map. If you have, drop those. Otherwise you just drop the normal drops.

 

@1Rogue Ok.. its time for me to explain everything of what I'm doing. In my coded gamemode, only a few blocks can be broken. And wood pickaxes are the default free tools. Heck, its supposed to break the ore even if I punch with a FIST. So nothing else can be destroyed, and thus only those blocks would drop something.

 

So then just have two different methods in your listener for the event, since they do different things:

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void stopBreaking(BlockBreakEvent event) {
    //...
}
 
@EventHandler
public void handlePickaxes(BlockBreakEvent event) {
    //...
}

 

@1Rogue my methods are much more complicated, cos there are stuff like "spell corrode" block protection, bla bla bla... so I can't just do that

 

@Hex_27

Pretty sure you can just do that?

 

Right, so have one method that focuses on your "spell" corrode and such, and then another that would focus on things like which blocks can be broken. Or however you want to divide up the work. Methods exist for a reason, you don't need everything in one single block of code.

 

@1Rogue this is confusing. Now players can break blocks with wood pickaxe. This is giving me a headache...

What do you refer to by "that"?
