Problem Change itemid of TE conduits to remove them from world?

[Gravenlord]

I've read something about people changing the itemid of the itemduct,redstone conduit, etc to remove them completely from the world.

I've tried using WorldEdit (which only say "block id is not recognized") and MCEdit (which cannot handle itemid's over 4096). I'm left clueless on how to remove this crashy conduits from my world, as they seem to crash my server every so often when people get close to them.

If anyone is able to help me with this, I could finally get some christmas celebration done Thanks in advance.

I'm also getting a crash with Item conduits on my server and i've not been able to change/find the id for item conduits

Block ids are never over 4096, you have to pull the block id not the item.

I'm not sure I understand. So item id is not the same as block id? Where could I find the block id for said items if i wanted to remove specific blocks in the world?

I've fixed this using MCedit and deleted the item conduits that I KNEW were crashing the server as I had placed them and they crashed, so it helps if you know which item conduits were crashing it. Use MCedit and open the world and go to the coords of your house/item conduit and remove it

My problem is that my server is a 50 player public server, so there are tonns of these conduits scattered around the world. I have no way to track everything down without having a program to "search" for them conduits and delete them for me.

If I understand you correctly you want to delete every instance of [insert item] from your world.

(stop the server)
1. you need to find what mod created the item
2. find the config file on your server that defined [item_name]=[item id]
3. change the [item id] to 0 (Remember what it was if you want to allow it back in your world)
4. start the server with the id set to 0 this will change ALL instances of the item into air
5. stop server
6. change the item id back to what it was and restart.

You will need to have access to the server config files, but you said you were trying to use MCEdit and that needs the files so you should be good.

Let me know if this helped.
