Balance Considerations
During development it was clear that Breakers would circumvent survival Minecraft's balancing considerably (e.g. breaking obsidian before the player has a diamond pickaxe). For this reason, the breaker block respects a block's harvestability settings. This means that the Breaker will only break the block in front of it if it has the correct tool. A simple set of examples:- Breaker has no tool - Can break dirt, logs, fletching table but not stone
- Breaker has wooden pickaxe - Can break stone, coal ore but not iron ore
- Breaker has shears - Can break leaves, tall grass, peonies but not stone
