New map format

[Aduis1210]

Hey guys got a quick question about Forge...

will the new map formate in effect destory forge becuase forge is basicly a way to extend block ids?
The new format has 4k block ids doesnt it?

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.

Ho boy, that's one seriously misinformed question.

The new map format is called Anvil, not Forge.

Don't troll the poor boy too bad. :P

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

Simple answer: no.

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.

For now the forge remains. And BTW & BTB still remain unaffected and separate from Forge.
