IDs are bad now. this method (and i'm sure many other facade methods) need to be switched to using the block name. ...just as soon as I figure out how.

Instead of the name use the block and the blockmetadata. The block does not only represent a ID.
And names are not working because they can change.

by block name, i mean the value returned by Block.blockRegistry.getNameForObject(block). This is the identifier of the block set by the mod author, it saves us from relying on ids (though, they should also never change after world init, however, that bit still seems to be changing in FML)

Cool. So, both registry name, and id in the registry are safe to use?

No? The registry name is fixed and cannot change, EVER.

Don't store the ID. The name is stable. The ID changes whenever there is a world change..
