Image permission
Hi Ultradude. I'd like to know if I can use your gold ore + iron pickaxe images for a T-shirt suggestion I'll be sending to ThinkGeek. Since this would indeed be commercial (for them at least) I'd like to have your permission first.

Glader 14:07, 1 September 2011 (UTC)


 * While you do indeed need Ultradude's permission to use his render of the Gold ore block, you actually need to get Mojang's permission for reuse of the Gold ore and Gold pickax textures. As I recall, Carl is the one you talk to for stuff like that; he can be reached at carl [at] mojang [dot] com. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:08, 1 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright! I've sent an email to Mojang asking their permission as well, thanks for telling me. Still waiting for you to reply though, Ultradude25 =) Glader 06:30, 2 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't feel I needed to, Dino got it spot on, and I misread it at first and thought you just wanted the flat sprite images.
 * For the flat sprites, you can just take the images from the game files and up-scale them yourself, the renders however I'd first like more information on what you're using them for, and you'd also probably want higher res versions. I believe I can render up to 1000x1000px with anti-aliasing and 10,000x10,000px without. – ultradude25 ( T at 07:00, 2 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm logged on to the IRC channel under the name Glader since I'd rather discuss the details of the design in private (don't want my idea to get ninja'd).
 * It seems ThinkGeek don't accept design submissions from anyone outside of the U.S, but I'm talking with Mojang instead. Hopefully they'll want to print it. Anyway, drop me a line in IRC when you can and we'll talk. Glader 14:54, 2 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Just got a reply from Mojang. Apparently their graphics team at Jinxed already have something similar in the works so it seems I won't be needing higher res versions after all :( Thanks anyway though. Glader 17:08, 6 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright, good to know. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 15:51, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

 * well, you could upload the file you use as template (i bet you have a file with a set camera and lighting, where you just need to slap the textures on and save the render) – Flying sheep 14:07, 5 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'm already planning on doing that, but the fact that he's asking suggests he has no idea how to use blender, meaning he'd still need a tutorial on how to use the files. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 19:31, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Rendering GIF isometric blocks to APNG?
Most of new browsers supports APNG format, though not sure does it work in wiki uploader though. Are you able to do render those animation blocks in APNG format if possible? Pros would be just better anti-aliasing and transparency and lossless format. Cons would be bigger size, and not completely supported by old browsers. (Though, what about SVG format additionally?) Tom.K 18:13, 4 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually Firefox and Opera (and two others that I've never heard of, and are probably not mainstream browsers) are the only browsers that supports APNG. Chrome can support APNG with an addon, but we can't really expect everyone to have that installed. There's really no benefit to the wiki to use APNG over GIF, as the images are always used on a white background, so the anti-aliasing looks identical to PNG. – ultradude25 ( T at 22:49, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Undoing previous revisions
I've seen you (or some people) revert versions of pages that are not the latest (e.g. someone makes an edit (A), another makes another edit (B), and someone reverts A while keeping B), and I can't do that "due to conflicting intermediate revisions". Cool12309(T 23:40, 5 September 2011 (UTC)


 * You can only do that if B doesn't edit anything that A does (thus the conflicting revisions). You can also go into view history, go to a revision and hit edit, then save the page. That'll take the page back to how it was when after that revision was made, which is good for when someone does some spam, but you either don't have access to rollback, or someone else has edited since, so rollback wouldn't work. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 01:07, 6 September 2011 (UTC)


 * More generally, undoing old revisions only works if none of the more recent edits change the same section(s) of the page that the old edit changes (so, for instance, if a page doesn't have any sections - even if it's a very long page, and the newer edits don't come close to touching the old edit - you won't be able to undo any old edits with the "Undo" link). If you have the time to do so, and the undo link won't work because of this, it's generally better to manually undo the edit than just roll back the whole page to a revision prior to it. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:18, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

'Unused' picture

invimage in Block
Do you know why the invimage in the Block infobox are 1px too low? I tried editing the span top value, it works on my test page, but not on the real template… – Scaler (t) 19:56, 12 September 2011 (UTC)


 * It appears to be a bug the way the page renders certain elements, the list item in particular (I don't know if you've noticed, but the alignment for text gets thrown out 1px by list items as well, but you'd never notice it unless you saw a side-by-side comparison). First I thought it was to do with >1 em values, but after changing it to 1px it's still being pushed off. On some pages the invimage will look correct until you edit the page, and on others it's the opposite way. It appears Chrome is the only one not affected, and is actually displaying it correctly (which ends up 1px too high because you changed the values). It seems the original method of div tables was stopping this happen (I guess it isolates it?), but this brings me back to the original problem. Since these are meant to be a replacment for normal images, they need to act like them, and be able to be included anywhere and an image would be able to. But if you're using div, div tables or normal tables then you can't have anything next to it without using float, which is rather messy and often doesn't seem to work properly and the text aligns to the top of the "image", instead of the centre. It seems it has to be within the div to actually listen to the vertical-alignment style.
 * I really don't know what to do about it. I thought I'd come up with a brilliant solution using span instead of div, but it seems it just fixed one problem and introduced another one, that's much less predictable. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 21:44, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Disagreement about Development versions in VH
Hey, seeing as you have already made your verdict on whether we put the Publicly released development versions on the version history or not, I'd like for you to read my argument on why I think that these logs should be not deleted off of VH, but moved to a new page. Also, remember that you've probably seen how cluttered the version history page is, and remember that this will help a bit de-cluttering it now and in the future, as these public release builds look like they are going to be something to stay. Talk:Version_history UGoBoom 00:24, 14 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't make a final verdict, I uncommented them due to 1.8 being added to the version template, thus being put on the main page, so we needed a temporary solution to show the changes in the version. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 02:05, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, I understand a bit better of the intentions of what was going on. Since I'm in no expertise position to successfully make a new page, that being if that is even the verdict or not, so I'll start cleaning and organizing some other things on the page. UGoBoom 22:20, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Enderman Eye Color
There's another argument going on about Endermen -.-

Do Endermen have purple eyes or green eyes in 1.8.1? If they do have purple eyes, then could you please unlock Enderman.png so we can give it the correct texture? Thanks. Shockman25 04:42, 17 September 2011 (UTC)


 * The texture is purple, there's no green texture, so there is never any green endermen. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 04:49, 17 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Exactly. For some reason, Kizzy says that Endermen have green eyes in 1.8.1 and has reverted the Enderman image to the green-eyed version and locked it. Shockman25 04:52, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Moving pages
I am trying to move Huge Mushroom to Huge Mushrooms to match Mushrooms page, (I now realize Huge Mushrooms is already a page, so I can't) but I cannot seem to find the same edit button as is shown here. I looked in my preferences and changed around a few things to no avail. Is moving pages not possible for lowly users like me, or am I just missing something? Verhalthur (talk)(contribs) 15:42, 18 September 2011 (UTC)


 * That "edit" button is wikia's version of the tabs above. Delete/Move/Protect are kept in the drop-down box next to the tabs (or not if you have the javascript that pulls them out of there).
 * You shouldn't be referring to wikia for any kind of help, they're using a rather modded version of mediawiki, it's a lot different to ours.


 * It doesn't matter anyway, you can't overwrite an already existing page with a move unless you're an admin (since you're technically deleting the page in the way first). – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 16:00, 18 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I gave up trying to move the page when I realized that. So turning off "Show edit toolbar (requires JavaScript)" in my editing preferences should allow me to see the move button?  Verhalthur (talk)(contribs) 16:03, 18 September 2011 (UTC)


 * The edit toolbar has nothing to do with it. I'm talking about the tabs. Where delete/move/protect is for me there would be a drop-down arrow for you, which would show move on any pages you're able to move. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 16:07, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

How can I view Minecraft models?
I want to contribute with isometric style images like some mobs have for the Villager page, but I can't seem to find information online. Whenever I look up things like "Import Model Minecraft View" or something, all the links are for "Importing models into Minecraft!" and annoying things like that. The only one that claimed to open .java files of models, the Import button wouldn't do anything for me. Would you know how? MegaScience 13:43, 24 September 2011 (UTC)


 * You don't import them, you model them manually by eye. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 03:21, 25 September 2011 (UTC)


 * The game still ends up with models in the game. I suppose nothing exists to directly open the files, and convert how models are produced in the game to work as an actual model.


 * Before I say this, I understand that they are made a special way no one has created an automatic way to view as a model. What I will say is they end up like a model within the game, which is why I thought there would be some converter that reads how the models are created in the game to make them function in some program for viewing. If the game can create shapes and such out of them, someone might someday figure out how to make them read elsewhere in the same fashion...


 * All that said, okay, nothing I can do then. Sorry to bother you. MegaScience 03:56, 25 September 2011 (UTC)


 * The models seem to be made dynamically by the game, I have yet to spot any kind of model files. There probably wouldn't be a way to convert it if it's like that. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 06:54, 25 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm just saying that it isn't a conventional model, but it is a model in the sense that whatever data that makes it up makes a model in game. I'm sure it is just simplistic data that the game itself uses to create the models and such, but in any case something like this should be able to be read by something. I mean, it is a model. It's not a .blend or something, but it has a file, the file is used by the game, and ingame there is a shape that technically is a model. If it's done a special, hard to figure out way, it is. But... Ya I'm just frustrated with how people treat the subject. I know it can't be imported in any simple way yet, but it shouldn't be impossible... MegaScience 02:15, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Mob Renders
Not trying to push you or anything, but I would appreciate it (and a lot of others would, too) if you could do mob renders for Magma Cube, Blaze, Mooshroom, Villager, and Snow Golem. Cool12309(T 16:24, 24 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Blaze and mooshroom are already done, also I've already said I don't do mobs. I hate trying to work with the mob texture layout, too confusing. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 03:48, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Chest Render
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/File:Chest.png shouldnt the v1.8 chest be smaller on top? i thought that it was more like (for instence 8x9x9 while it was before 10x10x10)

--CoolKill3r 06:39, 26 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope, that's all correct. Although the latch is actually 1 pixel too high, I'll fix that now. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 12:56, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Italian translation page
I am attempting to save an italian translation of the page for pressure plates but I keep getting blocked from saving it due to videos and external links in the original page. Is there a way to save this page? I am figuring out the sums and differences Every time.


 * It doesn't tell me what is blocking it. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 04:13, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Signature Question
Are we allowed to use a template for our signature? Cool12309(T 17:20, 27 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Since I assume he'll check back here, and Ultra can respond too, I'll say that what I'd do is branch off my userpage with one called Signature. Then you just put in the signature part of your preferences, and that's templating your signature. I'd bring over my signature from BioShock Wiki, but it can be considered a bit long. MegaScience 17:30, 27 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, you're allowed to use a template as long as it's subst (for performance reasons). But because of this, it means you still need to keep the code in the signature to a reasonable level, since it'll still be in the page like a normal signature. My signature (not including date and time) is just a few char over how big any signature should be, so as long as it's no bigger than mine, then you should be fine. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 22:39, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Music Discs help
Beta 1.9 Pre-release 2 just put all but one of the unused music files into use. As such, "Gold Disc" and "Green Disc" aren't appropriate names since we have others colored like it. I tried to edit the Music Discs page, but image files are still named by color, and we'll have some time before the other discs get uploaded. The real problem is how to name all of them, and especially how to shorten the page if we want to list them all. Any ideas? MegaScience 16:02, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded 150px versions of all the music disc images named in the format "Music Disc- .png". I haven't reuploaded the Green and Gold ones though. --Wizjany 16:06, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I think we should do the same than on the Wool Dyes page, with an animation of al the discs in the infobox. – Scaler (t) 16:58, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * It is rather standard. See Stairs, Leaves, Slabs, Tall Grass, and probably more.  Verhalthur (talk)(contribs) 17:02, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, do an animation and keep them all in one infobox. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 23:13, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Idea Of Mine
reference to mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/638645-18-game-mode-switcher/ Instructions: Download the program from the link above. Save your world and close Minecraft. Run the program and click the "Browse" button Pick the world your want to change and select it's "level.dat" file Pick which game mode you want and click "Save" Play Minecraft! I was thinking that this mod should be put in the spot light for most of the wiki editors and contributors. It allows you to switch from creative/survival. I use it in many bug test, giving my self items in creative and then allowing myself to switch to survival to test things. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Throex (Talk 03:45, 30 September 2011.

 * Spotlight? What? Why? There's nothing special about that mod... you can already use NBTEdit to do that, and you don't need to exit minecraft either, just close the map first.
 * And if you just want items, then use the TMI mod. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 23:13, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought about all this after I posted it, but for people that can't mod and update them on their own and wait for updates to mods can use that in the mean time. But I can understand all that was said...didn't really mean the spotlight. lol Just a way to help out contributors. --Throex 23:20, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Potion Images
I was wondering where you found all the potion images and names? Also how did you got a white/clear background as when I tried it came in with a black background instead :(. I like to help keep things up to date but pictures seem to be my downfall.... Rafiki2085 03:19, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * By playing around with the data values, I found them. For transparent images, you just delete the background. Should work in any image editor, even paint. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 03:21, 30 September 2011 (UTC)


 * So is each potion its own Data Values or does it use the subscript? If its the subscript how did you get all the different subscripts edited in to find the pictures?  I want to finish editing the Data Values page with all the potion information but didn't know how to find it as I figured the rest of the potions are subscripts and I have never been able to figure those out. Rafiki2085 03:25, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Nah, they're just standard damage values like blocks use. The ones I used in order (on the potions page) are: 13, 35, 105, 131, 144, 261, 294, 380, 649, 671.
 * You can use a program like NBTEdit to change the damage values of items in your inventory. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 03:39, 30 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the information I have a lot of work ahead of me if there are that many values to record. Excel here I come.... :) Rafiki2085 04:17, 30 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I highly recommend the LolEditor as it has a refresh button that allows you to continuously change your inventory while you are ingame, without closing the program. It is what I use to find out information for newly released features.  Verhalthur (talk)(contribs) 18:52, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Question
When do you use File:Grid (name).png and when do you use File:Crafting square (name).png? Cool12309(T 17:01, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
 * And can you do an isometric render of File:BrownMushroomStalk.png? Cool12309(T 17:10, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Crafting square is deprecated. If it wasn't for the other languages, I would've deleted them all already. If you need the background as well use grid. It's a standalone version for use anywhere.
 * Like the infoboxes, it currently has the bug where the background gets thrown out by 1 px up or down sometimes, but that'll be fixed once I've finished re-writing the grid system, although that might take a while, so I might try to make a quick fix for the standalone soon.


 * There's already a render for that, unless you want it in its default damage ID. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 17:14, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Well someone said the brown stalk is the same as red except the top, which is also the side texture. If that's true, can you make it? If it's not true, can you move File:RedMushroomStalk.png to File:MushroomStalk.png? Cool12309(T 17:27, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * The stalks are identical. Although there's no point in moving the image. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 17:33, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * The point in moving images keeps the wiki style, and things such as Renewable Resources won't require the image= after it (for most cases) Cool12309(T 17:36, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * But it causes issues with other languages. Moving an image isn't simply, press move and you're done. You have to find where the image is used on the other two languages that share our database and fix it there. Redirects might work (and that's a big might), but I'm not going to try it until I have time to fix everything if it doesn't work. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 17:39, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Cheers
Thanks for removing that troll comment from my skin image. 18:19, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Snow
Can you make a render of the snow cover without the grass? You can remame this file File:Snow.png to File:Snowy Grass.png and upload the snow w/o the grass as a new version of Snow.png --Ua 14:03, 3 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Well since it's a block modifier, I'd think it'd be better to have it show how it modifies the grass block. Or should we have both on the page perhaps? – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 14:39, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
