I'm using the TPPI pack version 1.0.3. This applies to all the drawbridges.

I added a few blocks to test the blacklist, including things like quarries and vanilla smooth stone. You put the items in the drawbridge and it will still place them in the world, but when you go to retract the blocks it won't do that.

I mentioned this to mDiyo on IRC and the blacklist is meant to prevent the blocks from being placed at all, so i thought i'd raise this as an issue as the drawbridge is able to bypass most block placement ban plug-ins and it would be nice to have a working blacklist rather than having to ban all drawbridges.

Can anyone post an example of the correct format you're supposed to list items in the drawbridge blacklist?

drawbridge {
# Add block or item IDs that should not be placed from the drawbridge
I:"Drawbridge Blacklist" <
2530
2548
3146
3474
>
}

Is an example, i checked with mDiyo on irc and he said it was the right format for it. There is a difference in behaviour between blocks in the blacklist and ones not in it so i know it is reading in the item ID's fine, it just continues to place them though regardless.

Can you specify a sample config? In forge docs I can't find any specific syntax info for info about the stringlists in config files. And this schema doesn't seem to work:

# Configuration file
blacklist {
    S:drawbridge <
        ThermalExpansion:Cache
        ThermalExpansion:Strongbox
        MineFactoryReloaded:tile.mfr.machine.1
     >
}

that is odd, looks like your category and key are switched, otherwise it is correct
so it should look like this:

# Configuration file

drawbridge {
    # Add block names that should not be placed from the drawbridge [default: ]
    S:blacklist <
        minecraft:stone
        ThermalExpansion:Cache
        ThermalExpansion:Strongbox
        MineFactoryReloaded:tile.mfr.machine.1
     >
}

by way, this haven't been released on curse yet.

Oh god...I'm stupid! I'm using BevosTechPack and I was sure he updated TMechworks with the last iteration of the pack, because I cried on his gihub about it. This also explains why different attempts for the blacklist did not work when testing with his pack: :D

But nonetheless thank you for clarifying the format!
