I was wondering if there was a way to make item ids stay what you.

 

	//Certus Ingot
public final static Item certusOrb = new CertusOrb(6101);
int certusOrbID = certusIngot.itemID;

 

In this item, I set the id to "6101".

In game, it switches around.

Is there anyway to fix this?

1) You should ALWAYS grab the ID from the item/block instance DO NOT cache it. That's just asking for trouble.

2) It's setting it to 6357 as items are shifted by 256. There is nothing to fix, this is how minecraft works.

What do you mean by "You should ALWAYS grab the ID from the item/block instance"?

int certusOrbID = certusIngot.itemID;

Don't do that, ALWAYS use certusIngot.itemID ALWAYS. It is better to centralize the id to one single place.

So that if it DOES ever change you dont have to find all the p[lace where you have 'magic numbers' and fix them.

Seriously, like 100 hunks in Forge are simply changing Mojang's hardcode of 'air' from 0 to something less magic number.

int certusOrbID = certusIngot.itemID;

Where do you put

int certusOrbID = certusOrb.itemID;

?

 

And I meant to put "certusOrb.itemID;"

not certusIngot.

You don't Do NOT store item ids like that.

Anyways, not here to tech coding. There is no bugs or anything here.

So, end of thread. Please learn the structure of minecraft.
