Name change
Why are you changing hay block to hay bale? Hay block is the official in-game name. — Hower64 06:03, 1 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh really? Then why does MOJANG refer to it as "Hay Bales" right here on their official website? Where did people on here get the idea that it's called a "Hay Block" in the first place? — ClockSpiral 07:00, 1 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Did you even read what Hower said? It's the name used in the game (which also happens to be made by MOJANG). Additionally, that blog post was made before 13w16b, which added the in-game name for the hay block. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 07:10, 1 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, just type a signature with 4 tildes instead of typing it manually. And yes, it is called the Hay Block in-game. --  Numbermaniac  - T  - C 08:34, 1 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Names of items, blocks, etc. on this wiki are taken directly from ingame. If there is no ingame name, such as the hay block in 13w16a (no tooltip), as well as before it appeared ingame (the Mojam game easter egg), Mojang blogs, tweets, and other social media are a fallback.  20:22, 1 May 2013 (UTC)


 * .... I see....
 * Still, shouldn't that be mentioned as it is being officially called "Hay Bales" by the company, but the game still refers to it as "Hay Blocks"? It seems like a point of notice that isn't being noted upon.... — ClockSpiral 5:15, 4 May 2013 (UTC)


 * It was being referred to, before they picked the name seen in the game.
 * If Mojang continue to refer to it as a hay bale while the in-game name remains the same, then it can be mentioned as also known as. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 05:40, 4 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I just checked the Minecraft Bug Tracker, and they're still addressing the now labeled "Hay Blocks" as "Hay Bales" up to May 3rd. It might be called "block" for easier pre-implementation in the hard code.
 * Still not really sure what the deal is with the naming inconsistency.... ClockSpiral 21:25, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
