Hey all,

I am trying to get a table together for my interactive sorter, something like


itemList = {
stone = {ID = 1, meta = nil, destination = "blocks",},
}

How can I get a full list of items from FTB 1.4.7 (mindcrack). NEIs dump thing doesnt give me metadata and the names it returns are often weird

Thanks!

There is no list out there. Because you can change ID's yourself, it is not reliable.

Manually discover all the ID's and meta values.

what i did was i made a separate computer to receive unknown data and for the user to input and to basically create a data base of known blocks and data types. if your interested in more detail on how i had it setup just let me know.

Yes I have thought of setting up an auto table, however I would have to manually input all the names. No thanks haha

Cheers for the help guys :)/>

either way you would still have to put the item in at least once to save to a database, granted it is a pain at first but you get to a point where your system knows everything that comes in and send it to where-ever you want that particular item to go. i mainly used something like this for all my alvearies i had and the amount of items i was getting had got to be around 5 - 10 a second, with 30 alvearies with perfect queens in them
