[1.10.2] Block specific id's...?

[Leomelonseeds]

So im planning to make a block(tileentity) with a gui that allows you to set a specific id for the block(1, 2, 3...) that teleports you to the nearest block with the same id. How would I go about storing that id variable?

You shouldn't use IDs, as those may not be the same every time you use them. You should either store a Block/IBlockState instance, and save the registry key/metadata to NBT when you need to. Why did you want to use IDs over anything else in the first place?

Oh id was just what I was calling them  Anyways I will try doing that and see what I get!

Use World Capabilities or World Saved Data, either per-map or per-dimension as needed.

 

You can see how RFTools stores its telerporter destinations here.

Just to clear things up a bit: if with IDs you Block IDs, use my suggestion. If you were talking about your own IDs like RFTools, use Choonster's suggestion.
