Hey guys, so i was wondering if there was any way to make my mod load absolutely last, reason is i am adding support and checks for other mod's blocks but cannot get it working as they are being loaded after mine but don't want to make those mods a dependency

1) You probably can't. For example, lets say I made a mod that I want to have wait for yours to finish, and then do stuff with what your mod does. Now my mod needs to load absolutely-last.

 

2) You shouldn't do whatever it is your doing when you're doing it. If you need something from another mode, wait until Init. Init is guaranteed to be after block and item registration.

All right point taken,

what i'm trying to do is register a block based on if an another block is found, in this case oreOsmium

        if(OreDictionary.doesOreNameExist("oreOsmium")) {
            event.getRegistry().register(ModBlocks.ModifiedOsmiumOre);
        }

from mekanism,

i have tried 

dependencies = "required-after:forge@[14.23.0.2500,);" + "after:mekanism;" + "after:tconstruct;" + "after:bigreactors;"

but that doesn't seem to be changing anything

Don't do that.

 

Register the block, if an ore exists during init, then make it show up in the world, be craftable, whatever.

 

But always always register all blocks and items.

Hmm, all right, that works, reason i was going about it this way was to keep the mod clean in game without cluttering it with blocks that dont have the ore they drop exist
