Talk:Village/Archive 1

For your consideration
I made some structures in Mine Craft that are built to be replicas of the structures that appear in the NPC village screenshot. If you want pictures of them for additional data, let me know. One of the structures is 8x10x9 on the inside (not including the walls, floor, or roof). This enormous interior suggests that a second floor could easily fit inside with 3 blocks of head room. (I can show you how big that really is on the inside.)

I also have the schematics of each building taken with MC Editor. Contrajoe 16:56, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Ya I was thinking about how big some of those buildings really are and they must be massive inside. If you want you can post the picture of the interior of the replicas. It would be good to show to people the true scope of those buildings. We don't need a picture of the outside because we already have an official picture of that. Also the schematics wouldn't be good to show on here because there to technical and aren't official. Maybe when they actually come out and we see exactly how they work someone could put the real schematics up.Discount Flunky 17:16, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

I should inform you that the buildings I made contain only cobble stone (some of the official ones contain mossy stone) and that since I can only see one side, I had to guess about window placement on up to 3 sides of the building. If you are okay with that, I can go ahead and place screenshots of them. If not, I will need to add mossy cobblestone. Contrajoe 21:09, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

They don't have to be realistic, the pictures would just be to give example of how big the structures are. We don't have much info to go on so prefect replica would be impossible to produce anyway.Discount Flunky 00:38, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

I got the images uploaded, I just need to know how to post them here and to articles. If you want more, it's certainly available. Contrajoe 23:38, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

I got the images on the article. Hey could you design an Icon for the article? It still needs one of those. I'll figure out how to add once your done.Discount Flunky 06:15, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Are there any standards I need to follow? Are there any guidelines? Are there any requirements/requests regarding it that you have (other than that I make it)?

I'm new here, so I will see what I can do, but those images and this talk page are the extent of my wiki-ing history. Contrajoe 22:13, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

You don't have to do it if you don't know how too. What I want is a picture for that little image that appears by the article's names on the template. I honestly don't know how to add it if you where to make one, so it's not a high priority. I've been seraching through the source code of many articles and I can't find the any coding that seems to be the tags for the icons. It's ok. I'm sure as soon as NPC's villages are added someone will make one.Discount Flunky 03:37, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Is it worth mentioning in the article that "Village Barely Visible" has a very different appearance from what we've seen heretofor?

Reasoning for Article's Existence
I know that articles about NPC villages have been deleted berfore on the grounds that there isn't enough info about them to create one. I feel that there is enough info to warrent the creation of a NPC village article now. We have several statments form Notch saying that he will add NPC Villages in the adventure update, and he has released an official in game picture of NPC villages. I don't know what other details you need? People may be against any speculation that may appear in the article, but you have to agree that there should be an article in the first place.

Old Interview of Notch
The section about an interview with Notch needs a source. Could someone please provide one?Discount Flunky 23:10, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

This Article needs an icon picture. How do you even add those? It's the one thing I can't figure out. Discount Flunky 20:51, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Same here.I need help on just regular everything, like how to get stuff on templates and like the stats, like blast resistance, and stuff like that.Ajc 1254 12:12, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

New mobs?
Wow i just thought about something! this may be a little off topic but if they add more mobs ma maybe we could see a herobrine in this and it would do what people have rumored it to do except it's actually a mob! and he'd only have a 15% chance of spawning! you like the idea? --A Big Mojang Lover 13:23, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 1%, like Spider Jockeys. Herobrine is a legend, he should at least spawn like one. --HexZyle 04:09, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, in the Millenaire mod, there are NPC villages that build their own buildings, gather thier own resources, and similar player-like stuff. So, I think something like Herobrine is entirely possible for Notch (or a modder) to pull off.

Contrajoe 21:13, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

To add to that, enderman seems to be sort of like herobrine.

Pics with Enderman
How are we sure that is a NPC village? It's cobble stone and moss stone like in the official picture but it could also be something that was built. I mean I use moss for building all the time. I think we need more clarification before we state that it's a NPC.Discount Flunky 04:53, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * That's you.Plus, why would Notch take a pic outside his house when he knows we want pics of an inside of a building in a NPC Village. We got close to that. We can see(not very much) of an inside to the building. So, he has spoiled again.Ajc 1254 15:33, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The buildup is exactly the same. Glass blocks (windows) are placed at least 2 blocks apart, Moss stone generates randomly up to 1 block above the glass blocks, wooden blocks used as the roof and is constructed in that exact manner --HexZyle 06:21, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Town Borders
What about these town borders which have been mentioned in several tweets by notch and jeb? Not definite enough yet? --Viciarg 20:39, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

What Notch is talking about is that he wants the NPC villages to have some sort of fence or wall around them so they look more like a town. Though form what he says on twitter it sounds like he can't get them to work right.Discount Flunky 00:06, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
