Tech Question, how does MFR Mining Laser identify ores?

[Golrith]

Just wondering, how does the MFR mining laser identify a block is an ore?

Since it outputs ores not used as part of world gen, I'm assuming that it goes by ore dict entries? aka anything starting with ore, and that the filters must look for keywords within the ore dict name.


I've added a number of new ore blocks using Custom Items, which I'd l like the mining laser to be able to "dig up". Plus, i'd also like to remove other variations of ores too.

Big Reactors registers yelloruim with the Minign laser via

        import powercrystals.minefactoryreloaded.api.FactoryRegistry;

        if(Loader.isModLoaded("MineFactoryReloaded")) {
            FactoryRegistry.registerLaserOre(2, yelloriteOre.copy());
            FactoryRegistry.addLaserPreferredOre(9, yelloriteOre.copy()); // Register yellorite with cyan, becuz.
        }

cyan? Why in the hell have I been using yellow filters.

I think MFR itself registers yellorite under yellow.

I think MFR itself registers yellorite under yellow.

Why would @powercrystals have done that?MFR predates BR by quite a bit - if it does anything it might be "capturing" yellorite ore via its oreUranium forge equivalence and boosting it in via its default uranium as lime registration.

Not every installation with MFR also has minetweaker. Rather call the MFR api directly.

There are these wonderful things called "updates" you know.

It seems a bit ... odd for @power crystals to forcibly integrate an external mod that has gone to the effort of already integrating via @power crystals own api.

Well, it is definitely there.

Thanks for posting that. That answers my question, along with InfinityRiders minetweaker method of manipulating.
