Talk:Carpet

A welcome addition
I'm hoping that they might later become placeable on walls -- after all, a tapestry is just a vertical carpet. That might be non-trivial, though, as unlike paintings, these are apparently honest blocks. --Mental Mouse 13:34, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, Carpet reminds me of Torches: they seem to look the best standing-up, but ultimately, are still-as -useful, if mounted on walls; of course, the reason neither can be mounted on ceilings - yeah, I know, we don’t have wall-to-wall Carpets, yet - is that Torches would burn-Up, visually consuming-themselves, quicker than ever (and realistically the smoke would not travel-correctly: it’s already a bit offset, seeing it come for-example through ceilings, not needing that “air circulation”), while the Carpet, well, would be an extra-surface to vacuum (yes, even the ceiling! for all those of you woh, er who think Carpets /vacuum cleaners are great, try vacuuming the walls - or the ceiling!!), without adding anything to that surface’s, basically non-use. Well, other than seeming handy for “rubber rooms” (handy until you realize that even if we got ceilings, they’d probably interfere-with walls, at least, if-not floors - at which point it’d be too-low, anyway if all in 1 Block). -Yilante 4 /21 /2013 108.228.150.192 04:07, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Today: Carpets. Tomorrow: Wallpaper & drapery? & we can finally make more table colors too.50.135.167.21 22:53, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Game balance
This is speculation on my part, but it's very improbable that the carpet recipe will make it into the full game with its current recipe. Two wool blocks for one carpet tile is extremely stingy. A more likely final recipe is two for four or more. So I would advise against worrying or complaining too much about game balance issues at this stage. 82.69.54.207 22:20, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

'Stub'?
They're only carpet tiles for goodness' sake. How much more /expansion/ - rather than just a bit of tidying - does this article really need? I'd advocate removing the 'stub' tag already. Simons Mith[82.69.54.207] 00:21, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Carpet does not prevent mobs from spawning
Despite its placement and similarity to pressure plates, in testing, carpet did not prevent mobs from spawning naturally. I believe they should, it would be a very welcome feature and motivation for using carpet, which would be significantly more efficient than using half-blocks for everything.

Edit: I added a screenshot as proof to the page's gallery.--Anubis1101 00:27, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Carpet on stairs
When carpet is placed on stairs does it follow the stair orientation or stay flat on top or not place? If it follows the stair orientation it could be good for staircases or coloured stair/sign chairs.
