mIDas *GOLD*

[havocx42]

mIDas *GOLD* v2.5 released:

mIDas *GOLD* is an enhanced version of mIDas by pfaeff.

"mIDas is a very simple open source tool that allows you to change the IDs of certain blocks and items in your world files.

You can for example replace all blocks of dirt with blocks of cobblestone if you want to. This tool is especially useful for modders and mod users. As many of you know, the number of Block IDs in minecraft is limited and some mods use the same IDs. It might also happen that Notch introduces a new block with the same ID as one of your mods. The mod would then become unplayable. As a modder, you may want to change your Block IDs for several reasons during the development process, but you can't, because they are already stored in your world files. mIDas allows to change the IDs stored in those files to circumvent these problems. It can also be used to remove certain blocks after uninstalling a mod by setting the target ID to 0 (air)." - Pfaeff on mIDas

can you explain further what the mod actually does?

[Neowulf]

It's a tool, not a mod. It runs through a world save fixing block and item ID changes, converting the world to a new config setup.

If you don't convert a world when your config changes you could end up with veins of monitors, marble trees, all your tubes replaced by copper ore, and everyone's nano/quantum armor replaced with cookies. Assuming the world even bothers to start.

That would suck but is hilarious!

Is this a universal tool for all the mod packs or just tekkit -> tekkit lite?

True, but entirely up to havoc. mIDas is very well known and is featured in every server upgrade/migrate guide I've read.

Anything.

[lukeb28]

Anything.

Very Useful then. With everyone jumping into tekkit lite this should be stickyed!
