Obtaining the 'Sub ID' of a modded item

[CrashDive]

In Minecraft 1.12.2 various items have a ‘sub ID’ (I’m not sure of it’s actual name) which exist in addition to it’s full ID.

For example, andesite has the id minecraft:stone but can be told apart from other stone blocks using it’s sub ID, which is 5. To give andesite to the player one runs /give CrashDive minecraft:stone 1 5 where 5 represents the sub ID fo andesite.

I’m aware that, for vanilla items, this value can be extracted using Keys such as Keys.STONE_TYPE Keys (SpongeAPI 7.2.0 API) . This is fine, but I need a generic way to find this information for any item, including modded ones. For example an ‘Electronic Circuit’ from IC2 Classic has the id ic2:itemmisc and the sub ID 451. If I have an ItemStack of electronic circuits how do I obtain the subID (451)?

I’m using Sponge 7.2.0

You wont find much new support for 7.x. but thankfully i answered this a while ago

How too set an Itemstack or ItemType variant

Hi, sorry for the late reply. In minecraft the id values were set to deprecated around minecraft 1.8, so mods should have followed and used the replacement, it seems only Sponge understood this. Sponge doesnt support anything that is deprecated within minecraft, which includes the id system. Therefore for Vannila items (and mods that support the newer way) you use keys to set the “id” of the item. So for example if I wanted to get charcoal I would do the following. ItemStackSnapshot snapshot …

While this is for setting the sub id. The same logic can be used to get

Thanks heaps! This worked perfectly and I don’t think I would have ever found it otherwise. Thanks again for helping me so many times (and quickly at that)!
