# Breaking, drops and sounds

> How many hits a prop takes, what it drops and the sounds it makes.

**hits** `number` (default: 1)

Hits needed to break it in survival. In creative it breaks at once; in adventure mode it can't be broken.

## Drops

**drops** `text or section` (default: self)

```yaml theme={null}
drops: self                  # the item, keeping its name and colour
drops: none
drops:
  self: false                # default true unless items are listed
  silk-touch: true           # drops itself only with silk touch, otherwise the items
  tool: axe                  # drops nothing unless broken with this tool
  items:
    - oak_planks 2..4 0.5    # item, amount or range, chance
    - lodeitems:ruby 1
```

## Sounds

**sounds** `section`

```yaml theme={null}
sounds:
  place: block.wood.place
  break: block.wood.break
  hit:
    sound: block.wood.hit
    volume: 0.8
    pitch: 1.2
```

Breaking fires a normal block-break event, so protection plugins can refuse it.
