Hello, i have a grinder block and it has a tile entity, and in the updateEntity method in the tile entity, i call this code:

System.out.println(OreDictionary.getOreID("oreCopper"));

I have IndustrialCraft2 installed and there exists copper in the game, but it prints this in my console:

2014-01-05 20:50:47 [iNFO] [sTDOUT] 69

but that isn't the id of the copper block!!! is this a bug with the OreDictionary or am i doing something very wrong? I did all of this testing because this code works with iron and gold, but not for the ore dictionary checks:

public static ItemStack getGrindingResult(ItemStack itemstack)
{
	if (itemstack != null)
	{
		if (itemstack.getItem().itemID == Block.oreIron.blockID) return new ItemStack(TechCraftItems.DUSTS, 2, 0);
		if (itemstack.getItem().itemID == Block.oreGold.blockID) return new ItemStack(TechCraftItems.DUSTS, 2, 1);
		if (itemstack.getItem().itemID == OreDictionary.getOreID("oreCopper")) return new ItemStack(TechCraftItems.DUSTS, 2, 2);
		if (itemstack.getItem().itemID == OreDictionary.getOreID("oreTin")) return new ItemStack(TechCraftItems.DUSTS, 2, 3);
		if (itemstack.getItem().itemID == OreDictionary.getOreID("oreSilver")) return new ItemStack(TechCraftItems.DUSTS, 12, 4);
		if (itemstack.getItem().itemID == OreDictionary.getOreID("oreAluminium")) return new ItemStack(TechCraftItems.DUSTS, 2, 5);
	}
	return null;
}

.getOreId doesn't get the item ID, it gets a unique ID for the ore type.

 

You could use .getOres(name) and cycle through the returned items stacks to get their item/block IDs in a for loop instead?

Ok, i got this code:

ArrayList<ItemStack> ores = OreDictionary.getOres(OreDictionary.getOreID("oreCopper"));

but how would i get the block id for copper ore out of that?

for (ItemStack stack : OreDictionary.getOres("copper"))

    if (OreDictionary.itemMatches(stack, other, false)) return true;

 

Seriously, not complicated.
