Yes, but how many IDs DO we have?

Re-read the thread.

...If the IDs are in the order of tens of thousands, what do we have to worry about? We can practically 'waste' 1000 IDs on what is functionally one block, if we want (Kind of like Minecraft's technical blocks), and still have massive amounts of IDs left... Or have five hundred different styles of door (Plus door wedges for each) and 150 colors of hull with all corresponding shape blocks... Or even create a separate, medieval-themed gamemode and share the same block 'list,' all without even getting close to running out of room... So, I don't think that IDs should be a concern.

2, Giving a figure is relatively arbitrary. It could be incredibly easy to justify putting in X,Y,Z blocks by looking at 2 figures on paper, but without knowing future additions / systems it becomes harder.

I think at anything above a limit of ~8000 blocks there's really not any number of future additions/systems within reason that could make adding more blocks sound like a bad idea. Right now we have 478 blocks (I think; that only counts Kupu's figure +1 for the shield capacity block). Adding every reasonable suggestion in the entire suggestion forum that doesn't contradict or functionally duplicate another one would give us another ~250-1600. (No idea how many unimplemented blocks the suggestion forum actually holds right now.) Even with that, there would still be enough IDs for... pretty much anything, even with several large decorative block mods installed.

I had no intentions of removing anything.

I thought so. With "nothing" being an improbable option "all or nothing" suddenly makes sense.

One does not simply necro a thread.
Especially if it is likely that the participants have already gotten to know better.
