Soulful wax bug workaround

[weckar]

I did a search on the topic, didn't find any, ended up here.

Playing a 1.4.7 version, trying to make soul sand out of soulful wax (obtained from bees from Magic Bees). Unfortunately, the recipe seems broken, and the item received has id 88:4 instead of the regular 88 for Soul Sand, and the resulting item is bugged to the extreme (non-storeable, will randomly disappear, can only be crafted one at a time, etc.).

Is there a way to fix or work around this? This would mean either getting rid of the item data in game, or fixing the actual recipe. Maybe some limited item convertor block I could use? Adding mods to accomplish this is not an issue, and a welcome option.

Thank you in advance.

It's been a looong time since I played any 1.4 packs, but if you have MinefactoryReloaded you could try a unifier.

Get some normal soul sand from the nether, put it in the unifier and run your weird buggy type through to convert it to standard.

Gave that a quick try. Can't put it in the unifier. Weirdness.

Very odd.

I'm currently trying to override the recipe with the custom recipes mod. If that doesn't work, I'll add a close-but-equivalent recipe. Will report back.

/gamemode 1 - go into creative mode
take whatever you need (E key to open up creative mode inventory, compass icon is search box)
/gamemode 0 - go back to survivial mode

that's what I do when I run into this sort of thing with bugs and errors. If you're on someone's multiplayer server it won't work tho (obv).

Well, I try to avoid creative mode. It's a drug man.
Anyway, overriding the recipe eventually DID work (with some tinkering). Definitely a solution I'd recommend for similar problems.
