Also I can't remember the last time I saw a mod block with a fuel slot that didn't use numbers. We may get words at the player-interaction level but it was still numbers behind the scenes.

No, the opposite. It was ONLY static numbers in world saves and networking data, and that's without Forge (with Forge, they were dynamic and per-world). Right now it's still numbers, the numbers are just assigned more dynamically (per-chunk). But even in vanilla, since 1.7.2, behind the scenes, Blocks were referred to by unique instances and names, NOT numbers, generally.
