Force Correct Tool
Forces a player to use the correct tool when mining a block.
About this Mod
This mod forces a player to use the correct tool when mining a block, this is determined by the tags of the block and the tool that the player is using. Any blocks tagged with mineable/xyz will be mineable with an item tagged with tools/xyz or tools/xyzs (i.e a dirt block with minecraft:mineable/shovel can be mined with a tool with forge:tools/shovels). Do note that sometimes these tags by default won't work the way you might expect, for example most crops are tagged with minecraft:mineable/axe so even those do require a tool of an axe.
If you'd like a block to be mineable by hand, like default, just add the mineable/hand tag to the block.
