Overriding a block

[pemapanik]

I've done some searching and not finding an answer I decided to ask.

 

I want to use the metadata for an existing block in minecraft.  I have everything setup except for sharing the block ID with the existing block.  Is there anyway to do that?

WoW if your looking to override a core block then Forge may not be the API for you since the purpose of the API is there to negate the need to change core code and override existing id's.

Maybe override isn't the best word to use.  Extend the BlockStone class so that I can add metadata to the block so that there are multiple variations used with that ID.

Even that would still require a core code change since you would need to add s subtype to the BlockStone class
