Item Variants
This is a list of named variants for various blocks and items which can be used in place of numerical data values. In many cases, the value "standard", "regular", "ordinary", or "normal" can substitute for datavalue 0.
Note that the system is fairly lenient, so there are alternate spellings not listed here that still work. In particular, endings like -ed and -ing can usually be omitted. For multiple-word names, keep in mind that you can't use spaces in the syntax; substitute hyphens or underscores, or nothing at all. For example, instead of "red tulip" you could use "redtulip", "red-tulip", or "red_tulip". Sometimes I've explicitly listed synonyms separated by commas.
These are listed by the name you'd need to use in the config file for the item or block. In some cases, this isn't the name normally used for the item or block, so clarification will be included.

Trees
This covers wood planks, wood slabs, wood double slabs, saplings, logs, and leaves. If you use these named values, you don't need to worry about whether you need LOG or LOG_2, or whether you need LEAVES or LEAVES_2. For example, you can simply write LOG/acacia and Cookbook will recognize that it needs to read that as LOG_2/acacia.
- pine, spruce
- birch
- jungle, tropical
- acacia
- dark oak
- oak
Dye
These names can be used for various coloured blocks as well as for dye itself. The full list of objects supporting these names is: wool, carpet, stained clay, stained glass, stained glass pane, and ink sack. (This is using the names you'd use in the recipes file to refer to them.)
The actual list is here.
Stone Slabs
These also work for stone double slabs. Note that there's no way using these names to get the smooth stone slab that uses the top texture on all six sides.

- nether brick
- quartz
- stone
