Disabling Tools not working as expected

[tommyTT]

I want to completely disable the usage of a tool (i.e. the diamond pickaxe), so I set the harvest level in the config to -1. However the log tells me, that this change is not supported and the tool still can break blocks like normal.
[12:12:38] [Client thread/INFO]: Changing tool harvest level of minecraft:diamond_pickaxe for pickaxe from 3 to -1 [12:12:38] [Client thread/WARN]: Changing of tool harvest capabilities is not supported by item minecraft:diamond_pickaxe

Looking into the code, the harvest level gets set, but the getHarvestLevel method returns a different value. Apparently if the harvest level of the tool is -1 it will use the level of the material instead (if the tool class matches). I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but in effect, I'm unable to achieve my goal. Maybe this mod can somehow provide a way to disable tools or otherwise document the effects of setting the level to -1 (or at least clarify the output of the log).

That it uses the material for a harvest level of -1 is default vanilla/forge behaviour, iirc. The warning just tells you that the harvest level didn't actually get changed to what the value was. I suppose it's possible to add support for that, though. Question is if it wouldn't be better to have it separate from the harvest levels.

just in agreeing id love to be able to disable vanilla tools all together i've mentioned this in the past but cannot figure a way to due this am i missing something or is this a work in progress or not meant to be done? I know this is kind of a older post but even on the current update I don't see a way to make a ( tool ) totally useless.

I just looked into IguanaTweaks. Basically just 50 lines of code. Gimme some time, I will put the mod up on github tonight (it'll just disable all tools from being used but can still be crafted!)

https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/vanilla-tools/files here you go!
I took the idea from the original IguanaTweaks (registering handlers instead of deleting the recipes).
Edit: It got proven. Have fun! If you need anything else or have feature requests, just open up an issue!
The code should work for 1.10.2 and 1.11 (I only tested it on 1.10.2 though).
