 +In minecraft 1.17, there has been a change for breaking blocks. Now, to define harvest tools and harvest levels, we need to use tags. Read about tags at: [[tutorial:tags|Tags Tutorial]]. The tags that we need to add the block to are:
 +
 +  Harvest tool: src/main/resources/data/minecraft/tags/blocks/mineable/<tooltype>.json, Where 'tooltype' can be any of: 'axe', 'pickaxe', 'shovel' ore 'hoe'
 +  Harvest level: src/main/resources/data/minecraft/tags/blocks/needs_<tier>_tool.json, Where 'tier' can be any of: 'stone', 'iron' or 'diamond'
 +
 +<code JavaScript src/main/resources/data/minecraft/tags/blocks/mineable/pickaxe.json>
 +{
 +  "replace": false,
 +  "values": [
 +    "tutorial:example_block"
 +  ]
 +}

 +{
 +  "replace": false,
 +  "values": [
 +    "tutorial:example_block"
 +  ]
 +}
 +</code>
 +
 +For the harvest level tags (needs_stone_tool, needs_iron_tool and needs_diamond_tool) to take effect, add requiresTool() to the FabricToolSettings in the block declaration:
 +
 +
 +<code java [enable_line_numbers="true"]>
 +    public static final Block EXAMPLE_BLOCK = new ExampleBlock(FabricBlockSettings.of(Material.METAL).strength(4.0f).requiresTool());
