Talk:Tutorials/Measuring distance

Really a tutorial?
I don't think this is a tutorial. It doesn't show how to do something. And it has no practical use. I think we should remove it. Agreed?
 * Its explained how to measure distance so it is a tutorial. Is has practical use. And please end your post with for tidles ( ~ ) Chrunchstick 08:19, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

I think a better use of this would be explaining the different measuring methods used, like how to measure the light of a torch that uses Manhattan distance vs something with a radius instead. 216.114.226.156 16:43, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * This page provides some basic definitions for terms that are used casually elsewhere in the wiki. In fact, this is what you get if you just put "Distance" into the search bar.  So, not good to remove.  On the other hand, it isn't very tutorial-like... I could see moving it to topic space, perhaps just as "Distance". --Mental Mouse 17:16, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Metric
You sure this is proper system? This means the player is two cubic metres (That's pretty big, if you ask me) --R ocĸetor talk  21:44, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, the player is .6 of a block wide and 1.8 high (for collision), so the volume is at most .6 · .6 · 1.8 = 0.648 m3. —KPReid 16:52, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Meters is what Notch used to describe the maximum size of a Minecraft world. Rolen47 15:10, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
