Some background on what SRG is and how it works:

'''SRG''' stands for '''S'''earge's ''R'''etro ''G''uard; RetroGuard being an early attempt to reverse the ProGuard obfuscation, and Searge being co-author of the Mod Creator Pack, who created this process.

Each obfuscated class, method, and field is assigned a unique number by the [[Toolchain:MCPConfig|backend]], via a sequential counter. This unique number is called the '''SRG ID''' of that class/method/field (henceforth called member).

The SRG name of the member is then derived from its SRG ID, its type (function {given the prefix func_}, field {given the prefix field_}, parameter {given the prefix p_, or p_i if this is the parameter of a constructor}), and (optionally) the obfuscated name of the object at the time it was given its SRG name<ref>The SRG name for a given member is only created once, when it first appears in the code. Therefore, the SRG postfix may be different from the current obf name.</ref>. This inclusion of the SRG ID into the name guarantees that the SRG name for all members are unique, and is the reason the ID is generated.

The actual conversion of obf names to SRG names is done by a tool called [[Toolchain:SpecialSource|SpecialSource]]. More information on how it works can be found on that page.
