Talk:Biome/Archive 4

Should we add a description and picture for each of the biomes and maybe a heading for each? F1racer101 19:08, 29 October 2010 (CDT)
 * Yes, we should. Oa10712 18:17, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

This page still references the Slip as "Hell".

Biomes
The Seecret Friday Update for 10-29-10 has added biomes and pumpkins.

No, the Halloween Update 2010 released those things... F1racer101 00:14, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

The Nether
The nether doesn't fit in on the list of biomes, or on this page for that matter. It is a biome, in the real world definition of the word, but in minecraft terms, it is a separate plane. I think it should be removed from the list. Kmach 23:52, 30 October 2010 (CDT)
 * I clarified this next to the bullet for The Nether, I don't know if it's enough though. --UncleRuckus 00:24, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Technically it is a biome as it can be found, albeit extraordinarily rarely, in the normal world, evidenced by the picture I uploaded. --SuperStalin 00:01, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I can confirm that it is found on the normal world. It also generates in SMP. -F1racer101 19:17, 6 November 2010 (CDT)

Wood/Forest/Seasonal Forest
What's the difference? I'm guessing a forest is a medium amount of trees with nothing else notable, while the seasonal forest is a snowy but otherwise identical forest, and the woods might be a very thick forest, different from the rain forest because there's not tons of water? Any input is appreciated, as there's really no way yet to assign names to biomes without guessing the contents from the name. --TheToast7 21:52, 2 November 2010 (CDT)

Trees per chunk
I think we should clarify that more and explain (at least give a link to) what chunk is so new people won't get confused. Groshi 12:35, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Different "types" of trees
I noticed that there are (rare) different ways the leaves can grow on a tree now. So far, I've seen:
 * Normal trees, with leaves going outward
 * Fully covered trees, with leaves going down to the ground
 * Trees shaped like mushrooms

Has anyone else seen weird trees? --PurpleKiwi 16:48, 4 November 2010 (CDT)
 * For sure, especially trees stretching all the way to the ground. Probably has something to do with different biomes. -F1racer101 01:50, 15 November 2010 (CST)

Pre-Emptive Splitting
Okay, guys, I know that at this point in time it is not neccessary, but seeing as Notch plans to make the biomes more distinct in the future, I think that we should split each Biome into its own page to prepare for this. We already have excellent pictures for each one courtesy of the Biome Science thread, the pics are already on the biome page. Again, we don't need to yet, but it wouldn't hurt to be prepared. --DStecks 19:09, 5 November 2010 (CDT)
 * for now, I think it should be left as-is, but I can perform another major split when the time calls for it ^^--Kizzycocoa 00:15, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, It's not time yet Groshi 06:44, 7 November 2010 (CST)

Woods Biome?
When I created the tables, I notice that there was no image for the Woods Biome. Can someone make a screenshot of it? And there was still this extra image which is nothing like what I imagine woods to look like. The colour of the grass does not match Savanna or the Plains either. --Scykei 07:34, 7 November 2010 (CST)

ATTACK PAGE
When logged out, I saw an attack page. Admins please see this. Minecraft wiki appears to have been attacked.. Also, my IP was blocked somehow. I had to use a proxy to add this info. I don't know why my IP seems to be shared with the person who added the attack page. Ruan942 13:05, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * it needed deleting/recreating. I fixed it. please report any other pages to me.--Kizzycocoa 07:27, 24 November 2010 (CST)
 * Uh, are you sure it needed that? Like, using a custom action like purge might have fixed the page w/o killing all the history (which I think you should restore, if you can). --JonTheMon 14:56, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * it did. the actual history timeline was courrupted slighlty. it's like a second edit was made after a revert, bot only for users. I saw no other choice.
 * Can you go to the undelete/delete page and restore older revisions? --JonTheMon 15:05, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll leave it for now. let the attack reports die down/be dealt with. I have no idea what could happen if I undelete it. the error could happen again.--Kizzycocoa 15:07, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Afaik, you can choose not to undelete the attack/remove attack revisions, just everything before. --JonTheMon 15:09, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
