magical crop seeds have multiple subid's?

[steve g]

made a nice hopper sorter for my crops and quite a few of the drops are from magical crops. i noticed quite a few seeds didnt get sorted. when i manually put them in their proper chests, noticed they didnt stack, and saw they had a subid on them. any reason why im getting 2 different types of the same seed?

for example,

diamond seeds are 8528, but i also get 8528:3
blaze seeds are 8526, but i also get 8256:7

judging from quantities, im guessing seeds from plants that have not matured yet get the subids, while those that did mature do not. would be nice to 'unify' them somehow so they run properly thru my hopper sorter...

Not sure how you're hopper sorting system works but, if you have Thermal Expansion installed, then you can use the Itemducts to sort. There's a button that will ignore Metadata

Alternatively, if you have any kind of Unifier in your modpack then you can put the seeds through that first, then to the hoppers. Hope that helps.

The metadata is how state information is stored, yes, and not all sorting systems use metadata or ignore metadata. However, some mods like Thermal Expansion 3 let you decide whether to ignore or use metadata. @John.E 's, advice is spot-on. You probably want to ignore metadata for the purposes of sorting.

You can also stuff all those odd-data seeds and essence into a JABBA barrel because JABBA barrels don't care!

im using gany's end filtering hoppers. just basic ones, they pull only the item i want before sending it to the chest, hopper ducts the rest of the way. ya i wish i had mfr, but horizons is kinda weird. ill try the itemducts tho.

Im pretty sure this has been addressed in the magical crops thread on the MC forums, I believe Mark is going to be changing seed IDs soon to use 1 ID or something like that, Id go check there. In the meantime you could use TE conduits and set it to ignore metadata...
