Need help with MCedit

1st Official Post

    Hey Guys :) i have a little problem on our server. We have a bunch of mods installed, IC2 and forestry are part of them. I disabled forestry ore generation but it didnt worked quite well (maybe i disabled it clientside and just forgot it o.O)
    Whatever, the main problem is that we have now a bunch of chunks with Forestry ore that we dont want. I had a bit experience with MCedit, i know how to select and replace the vanilla blocks but even after analysing the whole map (with succes, it tells me that MCedit found a bunch of modded blocks) the mod blocks dont appear in the "replace" menu. any idea how i can manage that? I watched a bunch of MCedit tutorials but noone seems to use it with mods.


    hope you can help me :)

    To do your task :

    • select whole map (as you have already done once),
    • Click Fill and replace
    • Write on search bar Forestry ore ID and metadata (Example 228:5), it will be displayed as a "Future block"
      [Thats why you must be SURE which is ore ID, or you may change something else]
    • Click Ok, Click replace
    • Select Stone.
    • All Forestry ores withID you wrote will be replaced by stone once you click REPLACE.
    • Repeat 1 to 6 with all forestry ores you want to remove. [I suggest you disable serverside forestry ore generation]

    I can confirm SpwnX's suggestion works.


    I had to do something similar when i forgot to disable RP2 Copper and tin generation.

    Ah i feel so stupid right now >_> didnt know that i can type in blocks that dont appear in the list below. I disabled already the generation of new ores, directly after noticing the mistake and deletet the outer chunks with MCedit.


    Thanks for the help guys :D

    Erm now im a bit confused. I managed it to replace the Ores with Stone but now all my Monazit (the ore from MFFS-Mod) turned into nukes. i checked the IDs, in Minecraft the nuke has 237 and the monazit something by 4000 in MCedit the ore gets converted to nukes directly when i open the level. quite strange. any idea why?


    also all my iron chests turned into apatite ore 8|

    I think it is something related to 4096 ID forge fix, as MCedit might not support 4096 block IDs.

    Meh... So we have to live with the 6000 wrong ores^^ Could it work if i load the world in SSP (i know 1.3 is always serverbased) and remove the blocks with Singleplayer commands? I have absolutely no experience with that mod so if anyone of you has an idea if that is possible please let me know

    AFAIK Singleplayer commands does not have commands for changing ores, maybe i'm wrong though.

    not? Hm feeling retardet right now...then just forget about it, i got the outer chunks editet with MCedit so that they regenerate (aka deleting them) and now we have only 3000 forestry-ores :D



    anyways thanks for the help guys :)
