Boat padding
According to this thread (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=37062) cloth can be used as padding for boats. SMA11784 15:04, 22 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Ill check it out.Toadbert


 * I dont think it works.Toadbert


 * It most certainly does! Try building a "shore" of cloth, then ramming it. Sterfried

Multiple wool colours
Discussion should commence on what to do about multiple wool colors since there seems to be editors that continously attempt to create multiple wool pages for the now re-included wool spectrum. As of now I'm keeping an eye across the site for links to multiple colors and redirecting them here. Unless I'm in the minority I'll continue to do this. St. Fenix 05:35, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * You're right to do so. The only difference between the blocks themselves is colour; in terms of flammability, ease of mining etc, they are very much one and the same. Dyes themselves are a different story due to differing methods of acquirement, but one wool block is the same as another. Everything else should redirect here. SteveZombie 20:21, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That's right, there's no need for a whole page for each color. Niklink 21:52, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Remove the tutorial video
The guy who made and put the video on the page might have felt that it was necessary to explain how to dye, but that's what we have the Wool Dyes and the Crafting page for, right? I think we should remove it, but I want to know the general opinion on this. Niklink 21:50, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * agreed, I'll throw my vote in for a remove. I see no sense in teaching someone how to craft on "every" page. -St. Fenix (User•Talk) 22:27, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Wool Damage Counts Inaccurate
The table under the trivia section appears to be incorrect. It seems that the colors need to be moved over one cell to the right to be correct. Can someone confirm this? IKaleb 02:48, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

This is true i tried to get the "blank purple wool" and when i went into my inventory in MC it was black wool the one in the block before. I did most of the colors and it seems to be true the whole way through. although i CAN see why there would be confusion with the numbers since While Wool DOES show as 0 damage when you look at it in an inventory editor.

 * Purple was missing, is it better now ? – Scaler (t) 13:16, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah i just noticed that too, I wasn't looking carefully enough before to notice ToraOkami303 8:29 1/26/2011 Eastern Time

GIF animation
We should have one showing the different colors (as seen in classic and beta) as the symbol for it. Arcticwolf15 04:37, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Removed Brown Wool
I think this is because someone tried to add brown, but then they were all like "Hey we don't take kindly to brown things round here" and removed it. Kookas 19:04, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Animation
I think we should use an animation for the wool dying recipes, instead of a giant list. JesusChrist666 00:47, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed, I'll work on that now. Alphap 02:18, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * That'll look much too messy, plus they use different ingredients so the ingredient list would be massive anyway. – ultradude25 ( T at 02:48, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Well okay, but I don't see how it will look messy - the list of tables as it is now is longer than the list of ingredients that we'd use otherwise. I think it also wouldn't hurt to just replace it with "Wool + Any dye", and/or just have a prose list of the dyes after the table. Alphap 07:12, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * A long list of ingredients will stretch the cell vertically, which will look rather awful. The other idea is completely inconsistent with every other crafting recipe on the wiki. – ultradude25 ( T at 08:40, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

ok i didnt know where to write this but i think this should be put on the page as a glitch or somthing... i died a sheep blue and then died it green then when i hit it i did not get any blue idk or any mixing of colors not that im sure that those two can. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Redblud9 (Talk 14:27, 25 March 2011.

 * Wait, are you saying that you DYED a sheep blue, then green, and then you punched it and didn't get any blue wool? Dyeing a sheep REPLACES the current wool color, instead of mixing it. It's not a bug.--SpyroCraft007 was here 01:42, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Pink Sheep
This article currently states "There are also pink sheep, although they are quite rare.[citation needed]". Is citation required for the existence of pink sheep, or their rarity? If it's the former, I've spotted one in the wild and have the screenshots, are they of any use to this article? Zoe 10:22, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * No, I think it has to be an actual video since screenshots can show suspicion that it's a sheep dyed in pink. Shock394 18:25, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Here's some code from EntitySheep:

public static int func_21070_a(Random random) {       int i = random.nextInt(100); if(i < 5){return 15;} if(i < 10){return 7;} if(i < 15){return 8;} if(i < 18){return 12;} return random.nextInt(500) != 0 ? 0 : 6;   }
 * There's a list of RGB values, right after this snippet, in which 15, 7, 8 and 12 all refer to black, dark gray, gray and brown. That 6 at the end is pink. Specifically this means there is a 5% chance of black, dark gray and gray, a 3% chance of brown and a 1% chance of pink. - Alphap T ~ C 22:33, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Hostile Mobs Spwning on Wool
Can i get some confirmation on Hostile Mobs Spawning on wool? Using TooManyItems, i made a house with carpet flooring(Light Gray Wool). Placed a Bed in it and slept. Regardless of how much light i have in there (torches, glowstone, jackolanturns) They always spawn next to my bed and wake me up. So does these Hostile Mob spawn on Wool Regardless of light level?--Teoh 23:24, 19 May 2011 (UTC) Is your bed next to a wall? Timberdoodle 01:18, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * No the bed was not next to a wall. it was a 8x8 room which make up i think a 6x6 wool flooring. the bed is in the middle. i used an Xray texturepack to check for anything under my room but there was nothing there. If it would be any help, it was a snow biome. This (bug?)has stopped happening recently. However im still curious as to what happened.--Teoh 20:13, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Break and replace bed. Hostile mobs only spawn on opaque block. Wool is an opaque block. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 20:37, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Wool Block Recipe Layout
The recipe for wool blocks changed in 1.6.6. I noticed that other 2x2 recipes on other pages tended to put the ingredients on the bottom left. Is that the preferred style? This page has the string items on the top left.--Zeta0134 13:08, 31 May 2011 (UTC)


 * whoever puts the recipe down on the page pretty much decides, which makes it kind of inconsistent in times yeah.Toadbert


 * Try to at least keep it the same as on crafting, personally I prefer going from the bottom-centre, then to the left; so something that takes 2 horizontal slots would be on the bottom-left and bottom-centre squares. – ultradude25 ( T at 10:44, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
