Activator Rail Replacing Some Ore?

[Technomancer]

I will create a bug report for this issue, but this thread is not meant to report a bug, but to ask a question:

Throughout the caves of my Overworld, there are numerous patches of Activator Rails underground, as if replacing an ore of some sort. I have seen and can mine: Coal, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Lapis Lazuli, Redstone, Emerald, Copper, Tin, Silver, Lead, Ferrous, and Certus Quartz. Is there a missing ore, and if so, what is it and how can I fix this issue?

I can provide a screenshot if needed.

Aluminum, perhaps? Try checking neighboring blockIDs in NEI and you can discern which mod causes this.

[Kalthas]

Is there supposed to be aluminum in tekkit? I've yet to see any or have any reason to use it. But I know it used to be in galacticraft.

As far as I've seen, I believe that's every natural ore in the overworld. Could I get a screen shot?

[Technomancer]

Well, here is an image of the rails. In the back left you can see one more. I tried finding some with ore nearby, but I couldn't. If I run across any more, I will post a screenshot if they are near other ore.

The nearest items to Activator Rail's block ID would be Bookstand, Black Decay, Crystal, Link Portal, and Book Receptacle, followed by Unraveled Fabric and Fabric of Reality. So, is it Mystcraft? Is there some sort of Crystal Ore? Unfortunately, Dropper falls between Activator Rail and any mod items, so Dropper could have taken the place of another mod item, and possibly even ones before Activator Rail (the Quartz materials).

Did you open or edit the world with MCEdit or something?

[Calvariae]

When was your world created? Maybe this is being caused by a change in config files after an update, though I don't even know if the config files are re-downloaded after an update and I sort of doubt such a thing would even cause this.

Yes; however, I did this after rendering the area, if that makes a difference. All I had done was place a schematic down near the spawn area.

I created only a couple of days ago, so I doubt it is that.

There's your problem.

MCEdit can't handle block ID's above 256 (Forge goes up to 4096), so it fucks with their ID's, causing you to find stuff like this underground. Ores with block ID 1893, for example, will have their ID changed to something like 193, which happens to be Activator Rail.

If you download the latest version of MCEdit it can now handle and retain block IDs up to 4096

Alright, that makes sense. What was this high ID ore supposed to be, though?

Thanks, I probably will.

Copper or tin most likely. Possibly lead, silver, ferrous, or quartz. All of the ores are 925, the quarz is 745. I can't think of any other naturally occurring overworld blocks with an id above 256, with the exception of a few that appear in towns.
