Would there be a way to change the block id of a newly created block or item?

In 1.7.x IDs is managed automatically. You not need IDs anymore.

Thanks for a fast reply.  I am aware that it does it automatically, but being able to adjust, or override the automatic IDs, would be very useful in my code.

Why? You should never ever even care about IDs and much less have to touch them at all.

 

I am using a 2d array. Ex:  public static short[][] Example = new short[500][16];

 

// Example[blockId][MetaId] = Short Number.

Use a Map<Block, short[]> instead.

 

Help me understand this please.

This map associates a short with the Block, right?  So that I can basically use the value inside as an id for the block, without actually changing the block id.

Perfect!  Thanks:)  You also helped me in my other post!  Thanks again.
