I'm "the next person" and your advice on the Salt article about how to find block IDs does help even as your reply was a year later :)  So thanks!

I'm playing FTB Infinity Evolved which includes Pam's, and I've been mining things that make drops with a silk touch pickaxe to max bag space efficiency to break the blocks with fortune III later, and to save samples of blocks of ores to research with Thaumcraft. I found Forestry Miner backpacks accept the broken salt drops but not the salt ore so was seeking exactly that, how to find an ID to add to the lists in the backpack config. They are extensive and sometimes have odd omissions, like...using silk touch I found that the infused ore blocks from Thaumcraft do go in the miner backpack, but in normal mining, the broken shards that usually drop do not. In the model of how salt is in there, I expected it would be the other way around.

Too long, just swung around to say thanks, as you had quipped that no one might ever see your advice :)
