Itemstrings are the internal names for items, blocks, nodes (everything which can be stored in an inventory).


Syntax

An usual itemstring consists of a the name of the mod where the item originates from followed by a “:” followed by an item name. All itemstrings are case sensitive.

  • default:dirtdirt
