I'm thus unable to acquire glistering honey crystals as a result; I'm on Quilt v6.2.11

I'm using a Paxel from the "piercing paxels" mod, but the issue is there regardless of what tool I use (including nonsense like shears and swords, lol).

You could possibly make the block craftable with 4 honey crystals as well, but that's more of an idea than a bug fix, haha.

Looks like I accidentally forgot to change this line to glistering honey block

Will fix next update. When I add a new block. It’ll take me a bit of time before I get the new update out but you can fix this loot table file with a datapack for now as a workaround

fixed now in v6.3.0 that is released. Thank you for the report!
