I'm not sure if it's best to ask here or somewhere on the MC forums, but I'm trying both just in case.
What I'd like to accomplish, through whatever means would make the most sense, is this:
Modify the properties of both vanilla and existing mod blocks (like ores from CoFH's Thermal Foundation, and Thaumcraft's crystals) to only be mineable by vanilla or mod tools of a certain material or list of materials (like vanilla obsidian and diamond, just extended to more tool materials and blocks).
I don't really know what the best approach to making that change would be, or if there's some existing mod that would help me with this, but any direction or advice would be much appreciated.
It seems to be easy to program a Mod addon for them. Can you please tell me which Mod Versions you are using and which Materials du you want for the blocks?
So each set of tools can only mine the next set of materials above it in quality, it's own tier's materials, and all materials below it in quality. I wouldn't mind learning how to just set the mining speed for any given tool material mining any given block, because I know there are some random extra pickaxes added by mods which don't have a recipe or associated materials which I'd still like to potentially include in the future.
Let me know if you need more info! And feel free to point me to some resource to educate myself as well.

Hello @vulpixusedember!

In reply to Lolly2007:
EDITED (I hope my many edits haven't been a problem):
Thanks for the reply :)
So the mods and materials I'm thinking of right now are (EDIT: Some additions since posting):
Vanilla Minecraft (1.12.2, Forge version 14.23.5.2847):
Blocks: Coal, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Emerald, Lapis, Redstone, Obsidian, Glowstone, Nether Quartz (ores and blocks)
Tools: Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond (Pickaxes)
Thermal Foundation (version 2.6.3.27):
Blocks: Copper, Tin, Silver, Lead, Aluminum, Nickel, Platinum, Oil Sand, Oil Shale, Destabilized Redstone, Energized Netherrak, Resonant Endstone (ores and blocks)
Tools: Copper, Tin, Silver, Lead, Aluminum, Nickel, Platinum, Steel, Electrum, Invar, Bronze, Constantan (Pickaxes)
Aether Legacy (version 1.4.4):
Blocks: Holystone, Zanite, Gravitite, Ambrosium (ores and blocks)
Tools: Skyroot, Holystone, Zanite & Gravitite (Pickaxes)
Thaumcraft (version 6.1 Beta 26):
Blocks: Essence Crystals, Amber Bearing Stone, Quartz, Cinnabar (ores, blocks, and entities?)
Tools: Thaumium & Void (Pickaxes)
Ice & Fire (version 1.8.4):
Blocks: Sapphire (ore and block)
Tools: Dragonbone, Desert/Jungle Myrmex Chitin, Ice/Fire Dragonsteel (Pickaxes)
NetherEx (version 2.0.15):
Blocks: Nether Quartz, Nether Amethyst, Nether Rime (ores and blocks)
Tools: Withered/Frosted/Blazed Amedian (Pickaxes)
Aquaculture (version 1.6.8):
Tools: Neptunium (Pickaxe)
NoTreePunching (version 2.0.20):
Just the flint pickaxe, I'd like it to only mine stone and coal.
====================================================
The progression I had in mind is something like this:
Flint Pickaxe -> Stone/Coal Ore/Block
^
Stone Pickaxe -> Copper/Tin Ore/Block
^
Copper/Tin Pickaxe -> Aluminum/Nickel/Lead Ore/Block, Thaumcraft Crystals/Amber
^
Aluminum/Nickel/Lead/Constantan/Bronze/Skyroot Pickaxe -> Iron/Redstone/Glowstone/Holystone Ore/Block, Thaumcraft Quartz Ore/Block
^
Iron/Holystone/Thaumium/(Desert/Jungle)Myrmex Chitin Pickaxe -> Gold/Silver/Sapphire/Cinnabar/Zanite/Destabilized Redstone/Nether Quartz (Vanilla/NetherEx) Ore/Block
^
Gold/Silver/Electrum/Steel/Invar/Zanite Pickaxe -> Emerald/Lapis/Obsidian/Platinum/Ambrosium/Energized Netherrak/Nether Amethyst/Nether Rime Ore/Block
^
Platinum/Dragon Bone/Neptunium/(Withered/Frosted/Blazed) Amedian Pickaxe -> Diamond/Gravitite/Resonant Endstone Ore/Block
^
Diamond/Gravitite/Void/(Ice/Fire)Dragonsteel Pickaxe -> Any Mineable Block
So each set of tools can only mine the next set of materials above it in quality, it's own tier's materials, and all materials below it in quality. I wouldn't mind learning how to just set the mining speed for any given tool material mining any given block, because I know there are some random extra pickaxes added by mods which don't have a recipe or associated materials which I'd still like to potentially include in the future.
