Talk:Cake/Archive 1

This page is no longer a joke
Can someone please tell me why this page is here? We know next to nothing about cake, all we know is that it's a planned item. Should we be going through every idea on getsatisfaction that's been marked as "planned" and make pages for those as well? If the page for Beta wasn't allowed until Beta was released, then this page shouldn't be allowed until cake is an actual item in the game. The same with the Lanterns page (although Lanterns were discussed a lot around the time of the Halloween update, so maybe Lanterns should be mentioned as a note on the Halloween Update page). The cake image is ridiculous, when lanterns were in the pipeline people posted ideas about what the lantern might look like and how it might be crafted, and they were quickly removed from the Lantern page as speculation. So tell me, why is the flashing image on this page allowed to stay? --DannyF1966 12:55, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I think that the flashing image is rather annoying. I think it's a pretty useless page in the current state, since it's completely devoid of any sources.


 * Here's the link to Notch's statement about adding cake to the game:
 * http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/7118994444124160


 * Kizzycocoa's statement that nothing is certain just means that we won't know if it will ever be added until we actual see it. Notch has promised tons of stuff that has never been delivered (polar bears, mountable horses, achievements, dyes for cloth, siege weapons, roads, ragdoll physics, etc.)  Since cake is fairly easy, and people are making a big deal about it, I would be surprised if it's not in the first patch of 2011.

 * Exactly my point, nothing is certain about cake at all. Beta was a certainty, and we knew a good few facts about it before it came out - enough to make a page bigger than this one, but the Beta page was suppressed until release. Why the double standards? And also, doesn't this page now break rule #19? --DannyF1966 21:56, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Notch did say he'd add it if he that award thing. But the animated GIF has no real reason to be there.

I think we should keep this page i mean this is one of the most confirmed things. But i agree the animation should be removed.

THE CAKE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED
OMG CAKE: http://notch.tumblr.com/post/2687176736/information-dump-incoming

Notch said the update will be Thursday

Block?
lol there is no way that cake is a block. This should be in the "items" category. -Izacque 22:29, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

It's seems to be an Item and a Block too.We can put in Items and Blocks category at the same time. - The Dark Killer 13 January 2011
 * It's not an item any more than a block of Cobblestone is. It seems to be an entity in the same way Furnaces, Workbenches, Jukeboxes and Dispensers are. SteveZombie 10:58, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Milk?
How can you take the milk outta the bucket????? Will you need to use 3 buckets to make 1 cake? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by UMA1337 (Talk 18:21, 11 January 2011. Please sign your posts with   !
 * Notch said (in a tweet somewhere) that you will get back 3 empty buckets when you "craft" the cake. --Gnu32 18:36, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The milk is replaced by empty buckets after crafting. --Melzardust 18:25, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Wait
~Toastman500 Why is it that the cake is under blocks, but when you click on it at the bottom of the page it directs you to items? Also sorry if I messed up I'm new here. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Toastman500 (Talk 13:46, 12 January 2011. Please sign your posts with   !
 * There is a bit of confusion as to whether cake will be a block or an item. Yesterday someone changed everything about Cake to Item, but then I noticed someone reverted the block template edit to have Cake in "Blocks". Anyone know the official word on whether cake will be an item or block? I'd say item but that's speculation. --Gnu32 14:04, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It would appear that the cake item will be edible and can be placed as a cake block. Obviously we don't know if destroying a cake block makes it drop a cake item, lol. -Izacque 16:51, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It's both. When it's released we'll decide if they need separate pages [Cake (Block), Cake (Item)], until then, leave it where it is. It'll probably end up in both templates. – ultradude25  ( T at 16:55, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Crafting Slots
I'm searching the crafting slots for this,but nothing for now,do you found something? I tried with sugar and sugar canes. --- User:The Dark Killer

Just noticed
If you sneak on cake, you fall off it. And it's edible to 6 parts, the collision model is exact. Can you add? Tehninjah 19:32, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Placing Cakes
Can someone please say how to place it? Right-click? Left-click? Eating it = Right-click?


 * When you are holding a cake, you will place it with right click, when you are injured, you will eat a place cake with right click.

Also - Cakes cannot be placed on top of other cakes. They can be placed on top of a stone slab, but will appear to be floating in the air. Breaking the block under a cake will completely destroy the cake, even if it has not been eaten at all.

Trapping a Cake
I am curious what happens to a block of sand or gravel placed above a cake. Does it fall down onto the cake? If not, does it still stay there if you eat the cake? If not, then you could use that falling sand to reveal a lava flow...


 * Sand placed directly on top of the cake will stay up, sand placed with at least one empty block between the sand and the cake will turn into it's item form. --Urian 09:27, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Can we add a link or referance this challenge on this page? --Tnarg 18:02, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Item?
hi there, im new here so im getting this straight: the cake is not an item, so why is it the item section? it would be better to remove it from the items and leave it only on the blocks
 * It is an item and a block. – ultradude25 ( T at 23:11, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Callum
Who is callum? Why is the cake especially good for his birthday? Surely it's especially good for notches birthday? This was added by Gombnom but that page no longer exists.... Pureferret 10:32, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
