Mining level refers to the material strength of a tool necessary to mine any given material. If an ore requires a mining level greater than that of the tool used to mine it, the mining process will take significantly longer and the block will not drop any materials when broken. While this is also true in vanilla Minecraft, the Hexxit modpack has several new materials and new mining levels, which may confuse newcomers.
The following mining levels are based on the construction of tools using the methods provided by the Tinkers' Construct mod.
Mining level 0: Wood, Paper
Mining level 1: Stone, Flint, Cactus, Bone, Blue Slime, Copper
Mining level 2: Iron, Netherrack, Bronze
Mining level 3: Obsidian, Green Slime
Mining level 4: Alumite, Cobalt, Ardite, Steel
Mining level 5: Manyullyn
In addition to these, some materials cannot be made into tools with Tinkers' Construct, but require a crafting table to be produced.
Mining level 1: Cobblestone, Gold
Mining level 3: Diamond
Each material requires a certain mining level (or higher) to be mined.
Mining level 0: Stone, Coal Ore, Netherrack, Nether Quartz Ore
Mining level 1: Iron Ore, Lapis Lazuli Ore, Tin Ore, Copper Ore, Aluminum Ore
Mining level 2: Redstone Ore, Diamond Ore, Gold Ore, Emerald Ore
Mining level 3: Obsidian
Mining level 4: Cobalt Ore, Ardite Ore
