Dropping legacy block/item names and using new ones ? about minecraft-data HOT 7 CLOSED

The "new" names are the one you see in /give and /fill and f3

from minecraft-data.

+1 for minecraft:diamond_sword

Used in F3 debug screen, in vanilla commands, compatible with modded blocks

It might be possible to have a blockNamesVariation.json file to keep compatibility with old names.

I really wish we'd keep the old names around just for compatiblity. They should be depreciated in favor of the new ones, but still kept around.

EDIT : I was mostly talking about mineflayer here. The old names should probably be removed from minecraft-data itself.

@roblabla mineflayer uses minecraft-data for these names.
That means I need to store the old names somewhere. (that would be better in minecraft data I guess, but I don't really like the idea of a old_items_names.json file)

from minecraft-data.

So, in conclusion : the look up by name was not really in mineflayer ago since not long ago, so changing the names doesn't really break any API.
So I'll just change the names, we don't need the old ones (and anyway they are not lost, thanks git).
