Manually changing item IDs

[fallingkitten]

I wasn't sure if I should put this in the general support section, or here in the modded support section, since I am not making a mod. So if this is in the wrong place, my apologies, it seemed more appropriate to put it here.

 

I believe Forge resolves conflicting item IDs of its own accord now, which is great. However, I am having an issue with a plugin (on a modded server) where it will only acknowledge item IDs below ~430. Because Forge now resolves ID conflicts itself, most mods (the ones I'm using, anyway) don't have the option to manually change their item IDs. And, of course, the items I want this plugin to deal with all have their IDs well over ~430.

 

So my question is: is there a way to manually change item IDs, without Forge changing them back?

Really? Oh, woops, sorry.

 

That is really clever, item IDs getting assigned. Think it's time to send a message to the plugin owner.

 

Thanks.

plugins should have updated during 1.7.x to be using registry names instead of IDs as we knew IDs were being "hidden" in 1.8, plus names should never change

Well, I know how to manually change IDs. It'll be a pain, but doable. You wouldn't happen to know if damage values (i.e. :0~:15 denoting different wool colours) are also stored in the level.dat, would you?

No.  They are not.  In 1.7 its just a byte value and it has no meaning other than what the code does with it.  In 1.8, its stored the same way (as a byte value) but translated into an enum by the code.

Ah. Well, thankyou for your help, it's much appreciated.
