Talk:Experience Orb

Citations need serious work. Can we get a forum link for the decoding? Can we get direct links to the images for citations? Darkid 14:30, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Will do.--Yurisho 14:54, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * added forum ref, and instead of ref'ing the images I just wrote "(click to see)" at the description...I think that will do the job..--Yurisho 15:00, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Fake?
Isn't it just a corner of a golden apple??? :\ just try to cut the right side of it and match to the found "Experience orb". It fits perfectly! --Cith 10:21, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * There was a debate over that in the forums and the conclusion of every test was not conclusive. It doesn't match perfectly not in shape, not in shade, and not in color, but each of this non perfect matches can be possibly explained: shape because it is far from the player then not every pixel is drown, and color and shade may be because of the new light system, but we still don't know what the light system does to items, and no test where formed on different sprites in different distances.
 * In the end, there is no proof this is a golden apple, or that it is not, but it does worth mentioning.--Yurisho 14:14, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * However, it should be noted that notch did "confirm" (indirectly) the reddit thread/forum post deciphering the browser tabs in the 1.7 changelist image. One of these was ExperienceOrb.java. Darkid 15:40, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * W00t! link please.--Yurisho 15:50, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/379958-secret-information-about-17/page__st__220 Darkid 16:05, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * where do you see that notch confirmed it?--Yurisho 16:33, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Again, indirect. He merely stated that the information had been found. The thread was the 14th and he tweeted that someone got it on the 15th. Darkid 17:09, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Aaaa...the fact he said it was found is already written...--Yurisho 18:38, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * And is it just was a golden apple, why did Notch remove it and say it was an "error"? (And why the heck would you leave those precious apples lying around? :P ) -- TheKax 16:04, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

It's called Photoshop.
It was a fake 'item' superimposed onto the picture. How else do you think he would have posted another picture WITHOUT the orb? DURRRR --ThesaurusRex84 22:41, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
 * All I got from that is that you say the orb was added using photoshop...that's stupid, the first photo was with the orb, the second was without, if anything - he used photoshop to remove the orb.

Deleting?
This page has enough evidence to be considered O.K for the wiki, IMO--Yurisho 08:38, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 * We do not allow speculation on the wiki. Use the forum for this.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  17:38, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you admins should decide what you want to do with this page - Kizzycocoa already took down a delete request for this page...*sign*...--Yurisho 17:42, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Personally I think Theory is just a terrible word for the whole thing. It's not really a theory. It's unconfirmed, but it's based on official information provided by notch - including the name (which may not be a final name, but it's what he named his java classes).  Theory implies it's making a ton of crap up.  Nothing has been made up here really. --Warlock 17:53, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 * But it's still trying to derive fact from circumstantial evidence. It's just not good information to put in the wiki. That still makes it speculation. --Gnu32 18:30, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Torch
When notch claimed that it was bugged he was correct. The image is actually a torch which is not flaming. Please take time to do a simple color comparison to the torch stick and the dirt. Thank you. -Eschoffstall (June 21 2011, 4:58PM EST)
