Making Mods Compatible with Each Other's Ores/Ingots

[NuclearBurrito]

Hello, I'm back again with another problem. I finally got time to actually play the modpack I made, Moderncraft Remastered, and then figured out I had a problem: there are multiple ores, and their corresponding ingots, with the same name from a number of different mods, and as they all have different Ids, the game treats them like different ores and ingots. This makes mining a pain, as they fill up many more inventory slots than otherwise necessary, and crafting with the ingots is a pain.

So basically, I'm asking for help making all of the mods use one type of each ore/ingot, instead of all having their own. I read somewhere about changing the block IDs in the config file, but I'm not completely sure if that will work.

Here is the mod list, if that will help:

  2. Either the download or the location must contain some sort of 'Credit's, listing up the 'IC² Dev Team' (this term is considered sufficient, it is not necessary to label the members of the Dev Team by name) as creator of IC².
  3. A link to http://www.industrial-craft.net/ orhttp://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=7994] http://forum.industrial-craft.net/ must be present, user-visible, at the location of publication.

I was planning on adding more, but I thought this issue should be resolved before I complicate matters further.

Thanks for your time.

Check for Forge Ore Dictionary compatibility. Usually extra ores are not an issue, but you can look into disabling ore spawns for all but one instance of each ore, and slightly bump up the frequency/amount. I recommend looking at CoFH to do this, it's what Big Dig uses for ore redistribution.

I probably sound like an idiot, but

a) how do you check for Forge Ore Dictionary compatibility

what does it do anyway

c) what is CoFH. I've seen it before, but I don't remember where and I didn't understand it anyway.

Sorry I have no idea what any of this is.
