I have made a contraption that uses Botania's Orechids, Autonomous Activators, Ritual of Magnetism and Ritual of the Crusher to generate Ores and harvest them automatically.
However some of the Redstone Ore is not being picked up by the Ritual of Magnetism. Any other ore that spawned previously to Redstone Ore at the same location was picked up just fine, Redstone Ores that spawn at other location are also picked up.

Forge: 1403
Blood Magic: 1.3.3-4

Redstone apparently doesn't light up when it's walked across, this may prove to be a bit more difficult lol time for some cheat-fu :P

well, this is an interesting development! minecraft:lit_redstone_ore apparently "_doesn't exist_"!

I even tried to copy the block (I remapped it to my Tab Key because I don't have a Mouse Wheel), the lit redstone doesn't copy, but the standard does! this may even potentially be a Forge issue, or worse, a MineCraft issue! (most likely, the wonderful folks at Forge Mod Loader can fix it though)

• Edit: even NEI doesn't detect the lit ore!
• Edit: Added photo link

reported my findings to forge, linked the issue to here. hopefully more will be revealed.

Lit redstone ore doesn't have an item associated with it, so Item.getItemFromBlock returns null. And that is the problem: seems like I undid the fix with 9ac6377. Whoops...

I'm guessing that Forge would be easily capable of adding that item?

Actually a few blocks have no item since they're not supposed to be placed directly by players.

you don't say?! :P I do recall spawning the lit redstone via /give though, and I've only been playing since 1.7.2, so idk.

• Edit: Merged Posts:

apparently, it's possible to fix the lit status via some redstone dust leading to it getting a current (or potentially any redstone related item), so try something like a Lever or something.

• Edit: the jerks over at Forge say the block will revert when it updates, which they also say happens "randomly". (I believe there is more than one way to force a block update if I'm not mistaken)

Rant: Every time I have an idea, they always literally just spend half their time insulting me. I still say cleaning up your own old files is a good idea, as opposed to leaving potentially over half a gig of old files hidden on the hard drive. I clear out my logs multiple times a day, they expect me to keep a copy of an installation from last year so I can know what files went where? or worse yet, go poking around for a 3rd party source (they seriously recommended that) online somewhere (they didn't actually recommend any specific launchers, and of course, I still recall the stories about the "cracked MineCraft Launcher" viruses, so that'd just be asking for a virus, or for the "launcher" to ruin my Hard Drive). It's mostly infuriating because all the other modders are much nicer (and have yet to actually insult me, Forge's modder group openly insulted me, purposefully, repeatedly). I only actually planned to type a single sentence, not an entire rant, hence the separation between the info, and the rant... A~anyways, Back to downloading my (much needed) updates!

apparently, it's possible to fix the lit status via some redstone dust leading to it getting a current (or potentially any redstone related item), so try something like a Lever or something.

somehow this bug is back, I decided to play again on my old world today after updating all the mods, and I'm getting the same bug, on the same setup.

Could be error in the block's core data. Did you try tearing it down and building it again using freshly made blocks?

I'll give it a shot.

It's usually the problem when people load an old world and a problem "returns", half the time it's actually because the problem is still existing within the already existing blocks, but any new blocks wouldn't have it because they're run through the updated code when they're made, unlike the preexisting ones which were created by the world save data on your hard drive.

Well the thing is, it was fixed when I reported it last time, and I remember it working for a while.

So replacing the blocks should fix it, unless the error is deeper than that, which might require a newer world if that's the case, which does suck, but sometimes is unavoidable due to how the game is built. If it still happens in the old world after breaking and replacing the blocks with new ones (sometimes just breaking the block and placing it again isn't enough, AE2 for example refuses to merge stacks of unplaced Interfaces with Interfaces that have been placed and broken, as it's remembering the priority data, which it doesn't get until after it's been placed the first time, but is fixed by crafting it to it's other form then back, because it's "freshly crafted"), if the error still occurs with the new blocks, try it in a new world and see if it still happens (creative should still work for setup, just craft the blocks themselves to be sure).

If it's fixed in the new world, but not in the old, then the problem is local, and MAYBE would be fixed by loading the world minus the mod (Blood Magic in this case), and then saving, quitting, and adding it back in (this will delete any Blood Magic items you have too though, so it'd be last resort)

Edit: Merged Posts:
To be more specific, it'd actually delete all of that mod's objects from the world (ores, altars, items in dungeon chests, etc. Anywhere that has already been loaded once)

Tested in a pack with blood magic and TE, confirmed that the bug is back, it doesn't pick up the "sparkling" redstone.

hrm... I shall test this myself as well then, as I also have Blood Magic and Thermal Expansion.

• Edit:gimme a few min, configs are giving me issues (totally mostly unrelated... it's the EvilCraft Pendant lol bad Potion ID) during phase 7/7 step 6/8 (so it's like 10~20 min until I figure out if it crashes lol)
  • Edit: located the error _facepalm_ I forgot a : on one of the potions, oops!

I'm not sure about that, it's only on the bottom row that Redstone Ore is not being pulled.

Really? That's weird

Oh I think I know what it is: The Redstone ore glows when you click or step on it and the glowing one is not recognized.

Oh yes, that must be it because the Autonomous Activator would probably right click it at least once, Good call.

https://github.com/WayofTime/BloodMagic/blob/master/src/main/java/WayofTime/alchemicalWizardry/common/rituals/RitualEffectMagnetic.java#L105:
One item might have more than one possible oredict entries, and this only gets the first one, which might be something else than "oreRedstone".
Gonna make a pull request for that.
