Talk:Jungle pyramid

Loot
What is the loot you can get from jungle temples? It&#39;s ahme, AJC! 17:46, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I've seen Emeralds, Bones, Rotten Flesh, and Iron Ingots so far. There's probably more though. Shine 17:52, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably the same as a Pyramid --Dyon 17:53, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The one I found had all of the above plus Diamond and Gold Ingots. YetAnotherGuy 18:06, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

The word "Temple"- Eh kills mobs and doesn't afraid of anyone.
THIS is a temple, it actually appears to be built around a realistic one, and has similar features and other assorted things compared to one (I thought of Indian temples when I saw the pic. Maybe Shiva or Muhgal?). Maybe Mojang should rename "Jungle temple" to just "Temple", and make "Desert temple" back to "Pyramid" or maybe "Ziggurat"? I don't know...this is the real temple, but I also see the names as (can't think of the right word here) repetitive? Unimaginative? Has Mojang even called this a "Jungle temple" yet, or has there not been much on it? (Knowing my luck, they'll name this "Pyramid"). I know, I must seem like an arrogant ass for talking about this still, but it just seems very...err, unimaginative (that word, it appears once more!) to call them BOTH "temple". Either way, the structure looks amazing so far, but definitely needs some added skin (Symbols, anyone?).--Gardevoirr 21:33, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Here's the thing... with the 'Temples' we now have a type of structure 'suffix' if you will, like Golem is now a mob 'suffix'. It's better to have the temples, as it shoes that there are sentient beings(Villagers, I know, but maybe they didn't build the temples) that made temples to protect their sacred items or to show that the Testies aren't Aetheist Squidward freaks.It&#39;s ahme, AJC! 18:06, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The Desert temple doesn't even appear to be a temple though, and I see no correlation between Testificates and Temples. If there were a shrine in them, denoting a flying Thunderbird mob (Hey Jeb, just gave you an idea for a boss. Go make le Thunderbird!), then they would be Religious/Worship temples. The "Jungle temple" at the moment has the structure of a temple, and i'm comfortable calling it that, but the Pyramid does not. We could use the suffix "temples" (Or how about Shrines? idk, temples seems fine for a suffix), but rename both structures so they have a creative and more-accurate aspect, while keeping the group. If we're steering towards a religious/worship aspect like you mentioned for the Testificates, but change the Pyramid's main structure a little to denote this. Maybe add statue blocks? (Thunderbird! Creeperpillar (Caterpillar that goes boom)! Squidman!) That would definitely class it up. Same for the jungle temple (It's fucking ugly, no offense. Needs a re-skin and more detail like the Pyramid). I still think "Ziggurat" would work perfectly for the Desert temple/Pyramid. How about "sanctuary" for the Jungle temple? They could be grouped under "Temples", and have awesome Thunder birds cats...Thunder...THUNDER...THUNDERCATS. Sorry, really hyper I guess.

Tl;dr:

>Rename Desert temple "Ziggurat" -Add statues of sand/desert related gods or mobs in general >Rename Jungle temple "Sanctuary" -Add statues of vine/jungle related gods or mobs in general >Group temples under "Temples" >Re-skin Sanctuary, so it doesn't look like something I made out of moss stone when I'm chronic as fuck

Sound good?

 * Wow. Really, that's fantastic. You should work for Mojang as 'Director of Ideas and Communication to the Public'. Statues would work brilliantly, and the Jungle Temple/ Sanctuary should have Stone Brick instead of Cobblestone and Moss Stone. Statues.... hmm... maybe of the Enderdragon? That would be cool. And Heiroglyphic Stone Brick as well, but with a different design from Chisled Sandstone. Myabe of Endermen and Testies?

And Testies should inhabit these Temples, and the Green Robe people could be monks, so the Purple Robed Priests should be like head monks in Temples and Preists in Villages. This isn't a forum, but these are good ideas.It&#39;s ahme, AJC! 19:54, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Sorry if I make my postings like a forum, used to it. Was that sarcasm though? I know I seem like an arse whenever I type a single word, but it's certainly hard to tell! Well, anyways, thanks for the compliments ;D Stone brick? I don't believe that could work very well, it would blend into the environment too easily, maybe if it was shaded a little darker, with the hieroglyphs etc. I think that the moss stones works, but vines and an insignia like the one on the Pyramid/Desert Temple/Ziggurat should be added, along with statues, so it isn't a disgusting-looking structure. I will get the newest snapshot later on and see the building for myself, I hope it isn't as damned ugly as it appears. Hopefully it's a huggable ugly though, not choppy and unimaginative like the structures in the XBA version.--Gardevoirr 20:45, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Merge?
I think we should merge desert and jungle temples into one article called "Temples" or something... Electrk 00:42, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Possibly. But then we would have more problems...we could group them instead, but I think just having them next to each other in the environment template should be fine. --Gardevoirr 03:19, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Traps?
The pic above in the page isn't very helpful. So, can anyone tell me how to steal the loot, without triggering or tampering with the Temple's traps or (*ahem) its original design? (you know, Indiana Jones style) Also, please don't say jump over them, or take the arrows. Only answer if you have played the Snapshot. Thanks!
 * Use shears to disarm traps. You cannot jump over them (first one is 2 block high) As for secret room use levers it following succession: Right, Left, Left, Right. — MiiNiPaaT 20:54, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Shoot. I didn't want to mess with them. oh well. If it means diamonds i don't really care. And thanks for the lever code.
