I've been working on a mod that requires well over 100 New blocks but there are only a limited number of ids to use so is it possible to put that many blocks in the game?

You can make a block with different damage ids, up to 16 different damages per block.

You do this in this way:

//Variables to make it easy to type (unnessisary, but easier)
var d= "dirt"
var s= "stone"

Block.defineBlock(Id, blockName, [
[d,0],[d,0],[d,0],[d,0],[d,0],[d,0],  //Damage 0
[s,0],[s,0],[s,0],[s,0],[s,0],[s,0]  //Damage 1
], 1, false, 0); //False has to be there to work

Basically what you are doing is giving the block more textures than just 6, which blocklauncher decodes as a new block damage!

That is how you do it, but there is a blocklauncher problem.

If you place a custom damage block down (Ex: block 23, damage 1) it will be places as the first damage (damage 0).

You have to make a special useitem thing to correctly place down the blocks:

function useItem(x, y, z, blockId, itemId, side){
   var dam= Player.getSelectedSlotData() //Gets damage of held item
   If(blockId==23){
      switch(side){  //"Switches" code depending on the argument (side)
         case 0:  //If(side==0) also the bottom side of any block
         Level.setTile(x, y-1, z, 23, dam);  //Set the tile to block 23 and the correct held damage
         //Add all other sides below this one
      }
   }
}

There is yet another problem, the name!

If you want each block damage to have a different name, you would do this:

function modTick(){
   //Get the item and item damage
   var item= Player.getCarriedItem()
   var dam= Player.getCarriedItemData ()
   If(item==23){
      switch(dam){  //Switches are your friend! 
         case 0:  //if(dam==0) 
         ModPE.setText(tile.blockName.name, "New Name");
         //Sets the original text of block to new text, can be done with every damage!
      }
   }
}

And that is how you can make alot of custom blocks!

Some Functions may be spelt wrong, so try not to copy and paste!

Also if you are using a custom Texture Pack, the first two block textures will be messed up.

Make 2 "junk textures" that you will never use and name them the following:

"aa_0.png", "aa_1.png"

Ok thanks dude!
