I posted about an issue I had a few days ago and I was able to determine the issue.

http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,25721.0.html

 

When I register my metadata block I am registering it with the same name for all 16 blocks. Is there a way to name each subsequent metadata block with a different name?

You need to override getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack stack) in your ItemBlock class and return a different unlocalized name for each damage value. I like to just do

@Override
public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack stack) {
return super.getUnlocalizedName(stack) + stack.getItemDamage();
}

Then in your language file you would just have

tile.modid:name0.name=Name 0
tile.modid:name1.name=Name 1
tile.modid:name2.name=Name 2
tile.modid:name3.name=Name 3
etc...

I have already done that:

 

    
@Override
public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack stack)
{
    return super.getUnlocalizedName() + "." + BlockColor.colorNames[stack.getItemDamage()];
}

 

tile.stone.raw.aqua.name=Aqua Stone
tile.stone.raw.black.name=Sooty Stone

 

They have the correct name in game but the registered name is still the same between all of the blocks.

Well the registered name is supposed to be the same across all blocks because they are all the same block just with different meta data. All meta blocks are the same look at wool for example each colour is the same block with different metadata.

You need an ItemBlock class, like so:

 

package com.draco18s.ores.item;

import java.util.List;

import com.draco18s.ores.OresBase;
import com.draco18s.ores.block.BlockOreFlower;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Loader;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.BlockColored;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IIconRegister;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemBlock;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemDye;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.util.IIcon;
import net.minecraft.util.StatCollector;

public class ItemBlockOreFlower extends ItemBlock {
private IIcon[] icons;
public static final String[] names = new String[] {"poorjoe","horsetail","horsetail","vallozia","flame_lily","flame_lily",
												   "tansy","tansy","hauman","leadplant","primrose"};
private String[] flowerDescript = {"indicator.iron","indicator.gold","indicator.gold","indicator.diamond","indicator.redstone","indicator.redstone",
								   "indicator.tin","indicator.tin","indicator.copper","indicator.lead","indicator.uranium"};

public ItemBlockOreFlower(Block b) {
	super(b);
	setHasSubtypes(true);
}

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void addInformation(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer player, List list, boolean flag) {
	if(stack.getItemDamage() < 6 || Loader.isModLoaded("IC2")) {
		list.add(StatCollector.translateToLocal(flowerDescript[stack.getItemDamage()]));
	}
}

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon getIconFromDamage(int p_77617_1_) {
        return this.field_150939_a.getIcon(2, p_77617_1_);
    }

@Override
    public int getMetadata(int p_77647_1_)
    {
        return p_77647_1_;
    }
    
@Override
    public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack itemStack)
    {
        return "item." + names[itemStack.getItemDamage()];
    }
}
