Blocks by hardness

How to read the table: If the given tool won't yield any drops when the block is broken, that cell is marked with an asterisk and a red background. (Note that some blocks, like Ice, don't drop anything even when the "proper" tool is used.) If there is no tool that helps speed up mining the block, the row will have a grey background.
