Talk:Heavy Core

The Drop Chance for the heavy core is 2.2%, not 2.1%. I wasn't able to figure out how to change it so I'm writing this here so someone else does.--

Is that a confirmed chance from the files? Because various sources (including the devs) say 2.225%, 2.25%, and 2.2%. 👁 Image

My analysis is that the chance of a heavy core dropping is ¹⁄₄₈ which is approx 2.083%. The minecraft:chests/trial_chambers/reward loot table has a ¹⁄₄ chance of giving one item from minecraft:chests/trial_chambers/reward_unique; minecraft:chests/trial_chambers/reward_unique has a ¹⁄₁₂ chance of giving a heavy core. – ZacNVR (talk) 13:50, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

@Plighting Engineerd:, no I haven't got to looking into the files yet. But kingbdogz said it has a 2.225% chance.

@ZacNVR: Where did you get those chances for? Because I haven't seen any source of the heavy core drop in fractions anywhere (not on r/minecraft or r/phoenixsc. They are more reliable than you'd think).--

@Vdiu: From the game's loot tables; I looked into the files myself. – ZacNVR (talk) 00:34, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

@ZacNVR: Are you sure? Because kingbdogz is a part of Mojang, and he himself is saying 2.2%. Can you screenshot the data values? I currently don't have acces to the game files. Also, are you sure the vaults follow the same chances for giving items from minecraft:chests/trial_chambers/reward_unique as chests?--

So, while there is no assigned tool for heavy cores in JE, in BE a pickaxe is required both to mine them faster and for them to drop as an item. I can't indicate this effectively on the page, however, as the tool field in the infobox doesn't accept any nuances (i.e. the only template), and the breaking row's hardness data is incorrect for BE so I can't separate the breaking info into Java and Bedrock. (For reference, it takes 20 secs to mine with a wooden pickaxe, 5 secs with diamond/netherite, and about 150sec to mine by hand/incorrect tool. I'm not sure what hardness value that represents.) ✿ShadowMistress✿ t+c 01:36, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

There are a lot of blocks with such problem, not only the heavy core. Currently, English wiki only records the breaking data in Java Edition, completely ignoring Bedrock Edition. The root is that Template:Breaking row doesn't support both edition, and I've mentioned this many times, but no one listened to me. Hope that one day English wiki can support both edition like Chinese wiki. See also zh:沉重核心--👁 Image

Click the link on the text you are talking about, it explains this. It makes them renewable but in such a hilariously absurd way that acting like it is a real method of renewability that players can use would be insane. - Harri / Talk 👁 Image
