Talk:Tool/Archive 1

What was the purpose of changing out the image of a table for an actual table on the page? It only seems to make it easier to edit and is generally less friendly on the eyes compared to the simple, more compact, and color-coded image. -KinoftheFlames 04:50, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

I noticed in the table there is no entry for some newer blocks, but the one most obviously missing is redstone. A suggestion that I thought of is that the tool efficiency may want to be split by the type of tool used to provide more information since a diamond shovel might as well be hands when cutting a tree or mining. --NeoNMD 13:20, 4 September 2010 (CDT)

Durability?
Where is the durability equation at? I though I had seen that in here somewhere before.

Something like 2^n+1 where n changes with material? I remember wood gets 33 uses, I just measured stone at 65 uses, and I recall diamond being 1025 uses (though I'm not about to test that ;D) --Ibutton77 09:28, 2 October 2010 (UTC)


 * It's in Crafting. --ultradude25 10:00, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

TNT
What blcoks does TNT yeild? Just thought that relevent.
 * I'm not sure, but I know that TNT has a chance of preventing block drops. I blew up some coal ore and I didn't get very much coal.

Recipes section
Should this just be a link to the tools section on the crafting page? Doesn't make sense to have the same information presented twice on two different pages, especially as new recipes are added in future updates. It could lead to one page being more up to date than the other.
 * What? That doesn't even make sense. How can one page possibly get out of sync from the other? --ultradude25 23:18, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * There's a crafting section on the tools page, and it's repeated on the crafting page. If a new tool is introduced into the game, both pages need to be updated, leading to unnecessary work and potential for error to creep in. They can get out of sync because each page is edited separately. DannyF1966 00:04, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The only way that would be possible is if you actually put the table on the page, which is why we don't do that... --ultradude25 01:17, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
