ItemStack References

ItemStack References (for short: stackrefs) are used everywhere you need to specify an item or block. There are multiple ways to specify one:

• B:[{modid}:]{name}[@{meta}] – Specifies a block by name
• I:[{modid}:]{name}[@{meta}] – Specifies an item by name
• S:{modid}:{name} – Custom ItemStack (registered with forge registerCustomItemStack)
• OD:{name} – OreDictionary entry
• ${char} – Reference to a previously defined recipe character
• Reflection (not recommended)

Notes:

• All strings must be either alphanumeric, or quoted
• Everywhere that {modid} is optional – it will default to vanilla Minecraft if not specified
• Everywhere that {meta} is optional – it will default to either 0 or a wildcard (depending on context)

BdLib includes a /dumpregistry command that will write out all the names that can be used above

B:piston // Vanilla piston
I:Forestry:scoop // Scoop, from Forestry
I:"BuildCraft|Silicon":redstoneChipset @ 4 // BC chip, with metadata
S:gendustry:"upgrade.sky" // A custom ItemStack from Gendustry
OD:blockGlass // OreDictionary entry for glass
