[MC-121742] block states can't be used in /give, /clear and /replaceitem, but can be used in /setblock /fill /execute detect and /testforblock

As of 1.11 snapshots you can use block states in /setblock, /fill, /execute detect and /testforblock, rather then meta data, this makes /give, /clear and /replaceitem stupidly hard to use, to get the right item.
This also affects models; models are named acacia_log, where in game you have log2:0.

The best way to fix this is to make them separate blocks (like the model files), in the attachments (

[media]

) is a LONG list of blocks that shouldn't be block states but their own block.
The model/block state files should be renamed too when they are not the same as listed below.

This list contains:

Block states that shouldn't be block states.
Logical changes.
Changes that'll make the code more sane.

Build up like this:

Current collection
- What it should be (old data value(s)/old block state(s)/{old nbt data})
  - Additional note(s)

~~Using "light_gray" instead of "silver" might make it more consistent.~~

~~Ids are internals, everywhere but the translations it states silver, hence why it~~ is ~~consistent then.~~

Why the suggested switch from stained_hardened_clay to color_terracotta (instead of color_clay or color_stained_clay)?

Seems like, with real terracotta just added, it would cause some confusion.

user-f2760 2017-02-20T20:14:26Z

I just listened to @unknown, he's making the changes, and as the changes are being made, this list gets updated.

SuperGeniusZeb 2017-02-25T21:58:51Z

@unknown The new blocks are called glazed terracotta, and they're made by smelting stained clay. So I guess that retroactively makes stained clay simply not-glazed terracotta. And hey, it's more concise, so that's a plus. 😛

Does this bug also covers the mushroom blocks bug? You can use /setblock to create any variant of the red or brown mushrom blocks, but /give always gives metadata 0, ignoring the parameter.

user-f2760 2017-03-25T21:07:59Z

Mushrooms blocks only have 1 item, the all cap variant, the others are block only.

Erik Broes 2017-03-27T12:51:23Z

Some things might change in the future but parts of the list is what I am working on indeed.

So <3 @unknown for the effort involved with keeping it somewhat up2date with my random ramblings 😛

Not exactly relevant, but if we get a change in block states for trap doors, could we have a right click action with a redstone torch that block-update-dependently powers the trap door? (Just toggling powered state would do, I think) That way, you could have closed trap doors without relying on the bug that's going to be fixed soon. Or maybe, some sort of redstone wand that can activate redstone devices. That would make doing redstone quite a bit easier, I think.

It might be a good idea to keep flower pots as a block entity since they act kind of as a container. That way in case new flowers are added, there is no need to add new flower pot blocks. Additionally it would allow storing the NBT data of the plant. This would not be possible with seperate blocks and no block entity, but could be intended since the plant is kind of placed in the world which in general causes non-block entity block items to lose their NBT data.

user-f2760 2017-04-16T15:24:12Z

@unknown The plant losing nbt data had a different ticket which became WAI, as for the adding of new flowers, adding a block state vs adding a block, not much of a difference, and adding a new block is just "saner" code.

marcono1234 2017-04-17T13:51:28Z

Oh you are right, I confused that. And I thought flower pots had a special renderer and therefor would just render the contained block.

user-f2760 2017-05-06T20:41:00Z

Added more information regarding what the old/1.12- blocks were to the list (so people can make filters a bit easier 🙂 ).
Due to this, the 20000 character limit got reached; added the list as an attachment instead (you can now see the comments easily 😉 ).

TheMinecraftNerd2017 2017-06-08T19:17:08Z

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but are the Item and Block IDs listed in the attached document going to be the the ones that people will have to use once the new Block ID system comes out?

user-f2760 2017-06-08T19:58:05Z

Yes, although the list may not be 100% accurate.

tryashtar 2017-06-22T05:16:44Z

Fixed light_gray_bed being called light_bed (in case anyone wonders why reupload).

I hope this is the last time I need to upload this...
