This is problem from a while ago, but I'd like help on it still.
Anyway I was on my favorite server in 1.6.4 happy as could be, when I figured out I could get Redstone lamp ons (the technical block, as an item) by breaking a powered redstone lamp with silk touch. I thought that was pretty neat and lol'd, however, when the server updated to 1.7.2 I had a problem. Part of the update notes said something about technical blocks no longer being items (redstone lamp on is a technical block), therefore if I try to log on to my beloved server, I am on for half a second then I get a missing ID crash. I am no longer able to play on this server due to the problem. The only solution would be to ask the server owner to downgrade the server, allow me to get rid of the blocks and re-update the server. The problem with this is, anything build with 1.7.2 blocks would be destroyed. A possible fix to that would be those 1.7 blocks would still be there as long as that area isn't generated however, I am unsure if that is true. I am very sad about this problem and the server forums is completely counter-intuitive (there is no post or reply button ANYWHERE ON THE WHOLE PAGE). So please, if anyone knows of a solution, can provide some insight, or even if anyone else has had a similar problem, I'd like to know.
