Talk:Zombie/ZombieBase

I suggest keeping tags removed since 1.10
I do not wanna start edit war so I write this in talk page. Goandgoo's argument from last edit description is not true - tags (isVillager and VillagerProfession) does NOT in history table. Old tags are important for people who creates or updates map from old versions. Currently checking that tags is only possible by entering strange page named "Zombie/ED1" and checking history (that's best way what I know). But people may want check that information directly on page "Chunk format" or "Zombie" and now it's not possible.

So please restore that tags on this page. They are described as removed (they WAS in the game so should be mentioned) so nobody can misunderstand. I think there's no arguments for removing that tags from wiki.

If you don't agree I suggest create a poll - I don't know what doing this so if somebody will make poll please automatically give one vote for yes (keeping tags). –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Wrimpl (talk • contribs) at 21:39, 07 July 2016 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * The "IsVillager/VillagerProfession" tags are actually still relevant in the current version so they shouldn't be deleted from the page. They are deprecated rather than removed; the game will first try looking for a tag called "ZombieType", but if it's not present then it falls back to "IsVillager/VillagerProfession". The "UUID" tag was the exact same way, where if "UUIDLeast/UUIDMost" weren't specified, it would fall back to "UUID". After some time, "UUID" was completely removed, so the same is likely to happen to these zombie tags. "IsVillager/VillagerProfession" are not written to NBT (as they are essentially converted to "ZombieType"), only read from NBT. Skylinerw (talk) 22:41, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I forget about that. You can also still use the /summon command with old tags. They are obsolete, but still useful. Wrimpl (talk) 00:20, 8 July 2016 (UTC)


 * My feeling is that deprecated tags (ones that are still read by the game, but not written) should be listed and marked as deprecated. Tags that are no longer supported at all in the latest version should be moved to the history section. -- Orthotopetalk 06:05, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
