Talk:Plant

Since the page says "Plants are Minecraft's representation of plant life," then grass blocks, tall grass, and trees should be added to this page. Those are representations of real plant life. If the purpose of this page is to present all the forms through which Minecraft displays plant life, then I'd happily edit the page.

tl;dr: The purpose of this page is vague. Plants are missing from its lists. Camo Shoe Club 03:08, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Rename
Hey guys, what about renaming the "plant" category to "vegetation" or something like that? I mean, mycelium, mushrooms and huge mushrooms aren't technically plants, but they don't deserve a category on their own either. --92.225.51.201 01:36, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Except that they're not vegetation, either, they're fungus ("flora" doesn't cover them either, because it is, you guessed it, plants). There's no point in trying to find an umbrella term that accurately covers everything here, though; it's needless complication when "plant" is good enough for our purposes. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:05, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Move
Shouldn't this page be located at Plants (disambiguation) ?  Meeples10 t ~ c 23:39, 18 November 2013 (UTC)


 * No, because there is no other primary topic for the Plants page. See wp:DABNAME. -- Orthotopetalk 02:52, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Move
In 1.13, coral and sea pickles are added and I think that it should move to "Plants and fauna" to cover information about coral and sea pickles. -- Hayden Bob Mutthew  Talk  06:37, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I think a name like "Living Blocks" could be better, since currently the page contains not only plants, but also fungi. 85.76.72.200 05:10, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * "Fauna" would be misleading since technically that would include mobs, and "living blocks" would similarly include shulkers (and just doesn't sound nearly as good as "plants" IMO). If I was going to advocate for a name change (and note that I'm not, just to be clear), it would probably be for something like "sessile", though that suffers the same problem as "living blocks" in that it could include shulkers.
 * The term "plants" has been strictly inaccurate for as long as it's been used on-wiki - mushrooms were added in Classic 0.0.20a, in 2009, and this page was only created in 2011 (it was created as a redirect in late 2010 but wasn't expanded into a separate page until January 2011) - and while there has been the occasional call to rename in the past, by and large there's no indication that this inaccuracy has ever resulted in any actual confusion or problems. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:09, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I personally am not sure how useful the page even is. As for as I know, "plants" is not an official term for these blocks, they really don't have that much in common, and like pointed out, many of the "plants" are not plants in real life.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 13:28, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
