About breaking times
Breaking times are based on a block's hardness, which can be found in the Aether's code for blocks. To determine breaking times of an item accurately, use the equations listed below:
- Hand:
hardness * 1.5 - Skyroot:
(hardness * 1.5) / 2 - Holystone:
(hardness * 1.5) / 4 - Zanite (max-durability):
(hardness * 1.5) / 6 - Zanite (min-durability):
((hardness * 1.5) / 6) / 3 - Arkenium:
(hardness * 1.5) / 8 - Gravitite:
(hardness * 1.5) / 8
The coefficient 1.5 looks accurate, but only for tools that make the block drops it's item (in green), and for those who drop nothing. For those who destroys the block whithout giving anything, the coefficient should be 5. I think we should add something like :
For tools that do not get something from the block, use this list :
- Hand:
hardness * 5 - Skyroot:
(hardness * 5) / 2 - Holystone:
(hardness * 5) / 4 - Zanite (max-durability):
(hardness * 5) / 6 - Zanite (min-durability):
((hardness * 5) / 6) / 3 - Arkenium:
(hardness * 5) / 8 - Gravitite:
(hardness * 5) / 8

Or we could juste precise the change of the coeff to gain some room. What do you think ? Fusion thermonucleaire (talk) 07:06, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
