About this Mod
A mod that can override block hardness and explosive resistance. Both modded and vanilla.
Any block can be changed, provided it is loaded in the initialization faze.
(very few mods load after it, so you should be good)
Example of a config:
S:blockSettings <
eextra:concrete_barricade=-1.0,3600000.0
>
This makes it so this concrete_barricade block from the mod "eextra" (Scape and run: Dimension) has a hardness of -1, and a resistance of 3600000. Effectively making it into bedrock.
You can of course go the other way around, this for example would make bedrock as weak like a grass block:
minecraft:bedrock=0.6,0.6
You can find a list of blast resistances Here
And hardness Here
Commands:
- /blockoverride help "Shows all commands and what they do."
- /blockoverride reload "Reloads the block override config. (Useful for more manual control, you dont need to reload the config after using addor remove)"
- /blockoverride add "Adds the block in your hand to the config."
- /blockoverride remove "Removes the block in your hand from the config."
- /blockoverride get "Gets the Hardness and Resistance value from the block in your hand."
- /blockoverride list "Lists all blocks that are currently overridden."
This mod can also be installed server side, with no requirement for clients :)

BlockOverride server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.12.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is BlockOverride compatible with forge?
BlockOverride officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.12.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with BlockOverride – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BlockOverride consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
