Re: New map format
No, Forge doesn't add new block IDs. It's an API to increase compatibility with other mods, and also has things like infinite sprites and textures, not blocks.

Re: New map format
The new map format is called Anvil, not Forge.

And no - a file format name will have no direct interaction with any item in the game - mod or not.

Re: New map format
No, api's and block id's are two different things. Block id's are not the sole reason mods become incompatible, usually base classes are the problem. The forge aims to make sure the mods that use it don't create conflicting changes in the base classes. As already mentioned, it also provides infinite sprites and textures, a feature also not tied to block id's.Aduis1210 wrote:i didnt mean to confuse u guys i ment to say will forge be destoryed becuase of the new anvil map format due to block ids increased?
For now the forge remains. And BTW & BTB still remain unaffected and separate from Forge.
