This means that the<br \/>\nBreaker will only break the block in front of it if it has the correct tool.<\/p>\n<p>A simple set of examples:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Breaker has no tool &#8211; Can break dirt, logs, fletching table but not stone<br \/>\n&#8211; Breaker has wooden pickaxe &#8211; Can break stone, coal ore but not iron ore<br \/>\n&#8211; Breaker has shears &#8211; Can break leaves, tall grass, peonies but not stone<\/p>\n<p># Frequently Asked Questions<\/p>\n<p>**Is there a (fabric\/forge\/neoforge\/risugami&#8217;s modloader) version?**<\/p>\n<p>Block Breaker &#038; Block Placer exists on both Fabric and NeoForge. If you&#8217;re running Quilt, use the Fabric jar.<\/p>\n<p>**Can you backport the mod to Minecraft 1.X.X?**<\/p>\n<p>This mod will not be backported. It will however support new major versions of Minecraft.<\/p>\n<p>**I found a bug \/ my game crashed**<\/p>\n<p>If you find any problems with Block Breaker &#038; Block Placer, please feel encouraged to create an issue on the GitHub<br \/>\nrepository issue tracker.
