How to repeat

Hold any Farmer's Delight knife in your hand and attempt to break a harvest level 0 block such as grass, wheat, leaves, and dirt.

I just tested with the latest version of both mods, I don't have any issues with breaking tall grass with a knife to get straw. Can you reproduce and possibly send a gif/video?

Thanks!

Here's a gif of it. I did some further testing and it seems this affects only the flint knife from Farmer's Delight, all other knives from Farmer's Delight work fine.

That's strange, I'm not doing anything to change that,... I've been having lots of issues with breaking not working, I imagine something in Forge changed that I didn't catch.

Just started playing with this, and it only seems to be the flint knife that has a problem. The iron knife from Farmer's Delight works on grass and leaves, as does diamond knife

Turns out, the "flint" knife uses the Stone tool type and the REMOVE_STONE_TOOLS recipe causes this to not work. I would advise that this is actually on VectorWing's side because a flint item should behave like flint, not stone. This unexpected behavior is on their end.

Sorry about that!

Done! Should be up in the next version of FD. Sorry for the trouble!

I used the Stone material mostly because the stats were just about what I wanted for the Flint Knife; didn't know it could affect behaviors such as this one.

Fair point; maybe I should create a new material for it. Thanks for spotting that! 👍
