I'm using ResonantRise 1.6.4 but I've added a few other mods. I have a conflict id between the Force Biome (dartcraft) and the Magical Forest Biome (thaumcraft) and I would like to change the Magical Forest ID, but I don't know what id's are available. Also, I would like to see if there are any other conflicts, that's why I want to know if I can generate such a list. You can't have 2 items with the same ID's, but Minecraft (or Forge, I guess) seems to be just fine with different biomes having the same id's...

I love it when I can provide an answer! Assuming you have NEI installed, press E to open your inventory, then click Options button at bottom left of your screen. Click Tools, then click Data Dumps. On the line that says "Biomes" click the Dump button. Now go outside of Minecraft and navigate to your FTB installation folder, go into the modpack folder that you're playing, click on Minecraft and look for the Dumps folder. In that folder will be a spreadsheet listing all the biomes with IDs. When you first open the spreadsheet up (I use the free OpenOffice app for all my Excel/Word stuff now), you probably will get a popup - under "Separated By" (or whatever it might say), choose "Comma" then click OK.

Before you do the actual Dump of the spreadsheet, you can choose three options - "Used", "Free" or "All" as to which Biomes the Data Dump spreadsheet will list for you. It's the button just to the left of the Dump button. Given your issue, you may wish to experiment with that button and try all three.

That should do it for ya, good luck! I can't help you with changing the actual Biomes ID's within the game, but at least I got ya this far with it. You can prob take it from there.

Thank you so much ! That really helped, I was able to find all the biome ID's and see all the available ones. However, the dump only lists (tried them all) used biomes, and by that I mean that because Magical Forest is not used (has the same ID as Force Biome and is overtaken by it) it is not listed (only Force Biome is listed). Any ideas on what I could do about that ?

No Andy, I don't have any idea, I only knew about the NEI Data Dumps because I used that feature to output all the block Item ID's for something I was doing. I'm really not an expert on the inner working of mods and minecraft, but I'm sure someone will eventually show up here to help answer that. Forum seems very slow today, but it is the weekend and Valentine's and all that stuff... It probably depends on the two mods in question that are conflicting, and how their configuration files work.

Here's how I would handle it, I'm just taking a wild guess, but I would probably install one mod without installing the other conflicting mod, then run the Biomes data dump. Then I would reverse it, install the other mod and don't install the first one, and run the Data Dump again. That should give the full listing of all the Biomes from each mod (maybe)? Good luck with it. What you're going thru is exactly why I generally just stick to the modpacks as the FTB team has set them up, and I don't mess around with it. It's great that you're trying, I'm not saying you shouldn't, but for me I hate dealing with headaches so I just play the packs "as-is", for better or for worse. But that's just me, other people here seem to never play any modpack "as-is", so I'm sure someone like rhn or Pyure or Mac will show up here to assist (eventually).

Well just use one of the biome IDs not showing on the list. If it skips numbers 20-30 then you know where your safe zone is.
