Talk:Tutorials/Beginner's guide

Proper Posting
Shouldn't this be filed under Tutorials, not as a page? MrMatthew 22:20, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Frankly, isn't all of the info here expressed at Tutorials/Pallascat%27s_Guide anyway? This just seems redundant to me. MrMatthew 22:33, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

This article looks dull and boring. If nobody add any photos, i'll do it myself TheYeIIowDucK 16:45, 4 November 2010 (CDT)

Shelter Rules Too Complex
Why are we spending so much time talking about how to make spider-proof skeleton-warding holes we can see sunlight with, and only mentioning doors at the very end? You might go all day without finding coal, but all day without finding a *tree*? You carve a hole, you stand outside the hole, you place the door. Discussions about spiders and bow-wielding skeletons could be left for later... Jesdynf 19:44, 26 December 2010 (CST)
 * I'm surprised it hadn't been changed by now. Over a year(give or take a few months)and I had to do it myself. Either way, it's done.--Joejr50 20:10, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Amount of wood
It says ten to twenty logs before crafting your first item? That's a terrible tip for beginners, You should be collecting about 4 or 5 logs and then immediately making a workbench and a wood pickaxe, get some stone, and upgrade to stone tools. At the very least, that way you can have a stone axe, so if you for some reason feel the need to get 20 logs on the first day it won't take you half the day. --Elamdri 06:51, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * How about we just change the wording around abit? How about "once you've collected enough wood that your comfortable with..." or add a 'Pro Tip' since this a guide? The 'Pro Tip' could read something like "most people will fell one tree and immediately make one work bench, then one wooden axe and wooden pickaxe..."?? Suggestions anyone?

 * I think it'd be better to get beginners into the habit of being efficient from the get go using Elamdri's suggestion. Tips are handy when a large handful of people deviate from a mechanic or convention that can be just as useful, but in this case this is the beginning and the better way to go would just be getting 5 logs and immediately making a pickaxe and THEN deviate from there. --Gnu32 10:28, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Safety
"This can be done by building (...) a high wall" - It ain't true. I remember when I bulit wall and towers to be safe and then I was astonished when I saw a spider at "my" side of wall. Spiders can climb walls, so it ain't so easy :< Kurakdude 15:24, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Lava vs. Magma
I wish Mojang/Markus would consider updating the Lava block and giving it the name magma instead. That's just me nitpicking of course, but I feel like editing these wiki pages every time I see a "lava" reference. It just bugs me! More so than Creepers! :x --IrinaWylder 20:16, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

For blocks below ground, anyhow... Blocks above ground could be properly called lava :P Also, I apologise for any error in my formatting, etc.. I've never edited a wiki site before. Tree Punching 17:12, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
