(keeping original technic item names)

fluxionary commented 5 years ago

I know this is a year old, but this commit just caused me a major headache. I am curious

  1. why are basic_material's stairs/microblocks registered from within moreblocks and not from within basic_materials itself?
  2. Why are the names of the "original" mods are used, even when those mods are not dependencies of moreblocks, and may not even be installed on a given server in the first place?
  3. Why are the names of the "original" mods used, even though basic_materials itself aliases the blocks from those mods to itself?

basic_materials is supposed to be...well... basic. it is not, by itself, meant to be a building mod. Hence, putting the table saw shapes into it didn't make sense to me.

As for the item naming, I don't remember by now -- probably as a matter of compatibility with older setups that don't use basic_materials.
