Nothing special about the shovel.

Not using any mods that modify damage of tools or how they break things.

Tags seem correct on the ores, but they do indeed break as if using a pickaxe

Poor screen cap of 6 different TR ores.
screen-capture.zip

Doesn't do it on any other mods ore or vanilla.

MC 1.17.1
TR 5.0.11-beta

To expand on this, it is actually ANY tool.
Sword, Hoe, Axe or Shovel

That is >= Iron level

This also includes all the TR added variants Bronze, Ruby, Peridot, Sapphire

can confirm this issue still exists, im in game breaking TR ores and getting the raw ore drop with an iron sword right now

Oddly, deepslate variants are not affected.

Oddly, deepslate variants are not affected.

Deepslate variants are not affected because they are missing mineable/pickaxe tag, and Drill mines them at wrong speed (isSuitable() returns false if the tag is missing), after adding the tags (#2650) they are also affected by this bug but drill mines them at correct speed. I'm investigating what is causing this bug.

I cannot figure it out, its bugged me for weeks, then again, I don't understand java, but I've amended a few bits to no avail.
