Metadata Notes

DELETED

Starting with release 1.19.1, metadata handling has been changed a bit.

There is no longer a need to specifically turn on metadata handling for modifyworld. However, a lot of blocks and items have metadata that one might not expect, or now has metadata due to changes in minecraft and bukkit.

A few examples are leaf blocks (each type has it's own value), planks (for the different colours), and sandstone (the different designs).

For item ID's that have metadata, using :* will cover all possible values for the metadata. For nodes that cover multiple items/blocks where some have metadata and others do not, the regex value of :?* will cover ID's that have metadata and ID's that do not.

Many blocks that you might not expect can have metadata, such as chests and doors that are freshly placed but have not been opened yet. When in doubt and you can't get a permission node, turning on debug will show what is being looked for. Please do this before posting in the forums, I can't stress this enough. Metadata is a very large stumbling block for many new users to PEX.
