Is there a way to override block/item ID numbers, or manually set them?


Recommended Posts

(This is using Minecraft Forge 1.7.10-Forge10.13.1.1217.)

 

Minecraft Forge uses some system of auto-assigning blocks and items ID numbers, so as to keep mods from conflicting with each other, which avoids the hassle of the user having to manually set ID number ranges, and/or resolve ID conflicts, which is wonderful. However, I'm wondering if there is some way of overriding those automatically assigned IDs, or setting them to a specific one?

 

The reason is I'm using a bukkit plug-in (Skript), which won't let you do certain actions with a block unless the ID number is under a certain range. I already got one ID for a block from a mod to be down in the 300's or less range by removing mods, putting in the mod with that block in first, so it would get priority, and be assigned a lower number, but it's a really haphazard way of doing it.

 

Where does Forge store the assigned ID numbers, and can this be edited somehow, or can you specify certain blocks to not be automatically assigned, and instead use a specific ID number? It would only be a small handful of blocks I would be doing this with (Probably 5 to 10 or less), but in my searches through forums and help files, etc, I haven't seen anything about a way to manually set block IDs if you need to.

 

And so here I am, asking, in hopes that it's very simple and that I've somehow overlooked it.

 

If I haven't given enough information, please let me know and I'll clarify. Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

If you have a bukkit plugin using block ids then the plugin is doing it wrong.

As for lowering the ids no, we do not support this, because if we did it would defeat the entire point of us taking control as modders would break everything.

 

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

So there is no way to change/alter or even influence or give priority to any particular block ID? If not, I'll just have to load up certain mods alone, first, let them get the IDs needed, and then load others afterwards, and hope the first ones keep theirs, which is how it seems to work.

 

All right, thanks for your help...

    • Hi, i'm really having problems trying to set the texture to my custom item. I thought i'm doing everything correctly, but all i see is the missing texture block for my item. I am trying this for over a week now and getting really frustrated. The only time i could make the texture work, was when i used an older Forge version (52.0.1) for Minecraft (1.21.4). Was there a fundamental change for textures and models somewhere between versions that i'm missing? I started with Forge 54.1.0 and had this problem, so in my frustration i tried many things: Upgrading to Forge 54.1.1, created multiple new projects, workspaces, redownloaded everything and setting things up multiple times, as it was suggested in an older thread. Therea are no errors in the console logs, but maybe i'm blind, so i pasted the console logs to pastebin anyway: https://pastebin.com/zAM8RiUN The only time i see an error is when i change the models JSON file to an incorrect JSON which makes sense and that suggests to me it is actually reading the JSON file.   I set the github repository to public, i would be so thankful if anyone could take a look and tell me what i did wrong: https://github.com/xLorkin/teleport_pug_forge   As a note: i'm pretty new to modding, this is my first mod ever. But i'm used to programming. I had some up and downs, but through reading the documentation, using google and experimenting, i could solve all other problems. I only started modding for Minecraft because my son is such a big fan and wanted this mod.

    • Hello fellow Minecrafters! I recently returned to Minecraft and realized I needed a wiki that displays basic information easily and had great user navigation. That’s why I decided to build: MinecraftSearch — a site by a Minecraft fan, for Minecraft fans. Key Features So Far Straight-to-the-Point Info: No extra fluff; just the essentials on items, mobs, recipes, loot and more. Clean & Intuitive Layout: Easy navigation so you spend less time scrolling and more time playing. Optimized Search: Search for anything—items, mobs, blocks—and get results instantly. What I’m Thinking of Adding More data/information: Catch chances for fishing rod, traveling villager trades, biomes info and a lot more. The website is still under development and need a lot more data added. Community Contributions: Potential for user-uploaded tips for items/mobs/blocks in the future. Feature Requests Welcome: Your ideas could shape how the wiki evolves! You can see my roadmap at the About page https://minecraftsearch.com/about I’d love for you to check out MinecraftSearch and see if it helps you find the info you need faster. Feedback is crucial—I want to develop this further based on what the community needs most, so please let me know what you think. Thanks, and happy crafting!

    • That's just plain wrong... newer versions are much better optimised and start a lot faster than 1.8.9, both Forge and Minecraft itself. Comparing Fabric 1.21 with Forge 1.8 is like comparing apples and oranges... one's brand new and the other's over a decade old.
