The blocks in question are, alchemical retort and drying basin from rustic and clay kiln and stone grill from primal tech. It shows the mining level null=-1 and setting the cannot break without proper tool allows me to break the block but none of the four blocks drop as items.

I tried it with v1.6.3 and this config entry: S:"rustic:retort:*"=null=-1 and it works fine. Have you put the change in the block_overwrites.cfg file?

I don't have asterisks for retorts it popped with numbers I will add that line in see if it fixes it. thank you.

I also removed the retort:0 through 4 and added retort:*, redownloaded both mods(redid block overrides), and made sure to play with just the two mods and for whatever reason it doesn't drop retorts as an item.

I tried changing another block, this time minecraft:stone, it does same thing as the retort change the mining level to null but doesn't drop anything.

Edit:

I double checked tea the story(tea stove and tea pots) and tough as nails(rain collector and heating/cooling coils) and all the blocks I change to be =null=-1 none of them drop their respective items.

So, if I understand you correctly, you want to change blocks, which need tools to harvest them such that you can harvest them with bare hands? And then the loot isn't dropped?

Can you post the following information:

• Forge version
• The version of the mods involved
• The contents of the block_overwrite.cfg file

Forge 23.14.5.2772
progression 1.6.3
Rustic 1.0.12
tea the story 3.2.6-B9
Tough as Nails 3.1.0.139

Rather large number of edits were made so the file is too big for github/pastebin.

Okay, one thing first, don't just copy over all entries from the block.cfg. Having so many entries in the overwrites file should be a severe performance degradation in itself and may already be the cause for your problems. Only add actual changes to the overwrites files.

Oh, I was not aware that was intensive, I will be sure to trim it down on my next update.

I had sent my modpack file since more information about which blocks I changed. But I had tested it with just progression and rustic installed that file had one test of

S:"rustic:retort:*"=null=-1

and a second test of

# rustic:retort:0 [default: pickaxe=0]
S:"rustic:retort:0"=null=-1

# rustic:retort:1 [default: pickaxe=0]
S:"rustic:retort:1"=null=-1

# rustic:retort:2 [default: pickaxe=0]
S:"rustic:retort:2"=null=-1

# rustic:retort:3 [default: pickaxe=0]
S:"rustic:retort:3"=null=-1

Both tell me the object is null and allows me to break it with the don't allow breaking without proper tools setting one. Just nothing drops.

I also tested it with tools. It breaks and doesn't drop items with shovel, hoe or axe, but will drop with a pickaxe.

Okay, I was able to reproduce this issue. I'll look into it.

This should be fixed in the version 1.6.4. Thank you for pointing it out.

Awesome, thanks I just updated, everything I changed drops like expected thank you.
