Page necessity
Is this page really necessary? This is an item (not a block) and all the info covered in here is already in the crafting page.

If this page should exist I suggest adding gold and iron bar too and adding links to relevant pages. Perhaps even make a page with all of the items in there.

 * I believe you are right, later today I am going to merge it to crafting if nobody do it and use bars are redirect as well. Thank you for the suggestion. --FuzzyWuff 13:29, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Couldn't we merge the pages for each form of Diamond together? Diamond Ore, Gems and Blocks could all be in a single article as could Iron Ore, Bars and Blocks. The current system causes much confusion with linking from other articles, as I've seen. SteveZombie 19:12, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. Yoshidude56 01:05, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

If you feel like spending time on correcting all the pages, feel free to, it's a good idea. Second to that I'm not sure about all entities having a template like that, it's just silly. Heck, if it were up to me I'd just make one big item page, no loads of pages to browse through. Alphasoldier 11:38, 5 April 2010 (UTC)


 * give me a good night of sleep and I will make a grid with all the entities in one single page. It's actually how i did about the different game mode previously, so it should work with mini icons as well on the grid. Thank for the idea alphasoldier, I come up with this within 24 hours i wrote this line is someone doesn't ninja me. --FuzzyWuff 15:23, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Once you've made the item page I'll be sure to check if all pages are referred correctly, might take long but I'm up to it. --Alphasoldier 21:55, 5 April 2010 (UTC) also, check what i wrote and not, because i haven't covered all articles yet. --FuzzyWuff 11:13, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Seem like you have a lot of work to do now Alpha :P

I think that the Gold Bar/Blocks should be in one page, Iron Bar/Block in it's own page, ECT. Would be efficient, and less confusing. Croben What you Want? 23:38, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Actually, Put the Ore, Mineral/smelted mineral, and block as a single page, and give the page the name of the material (I.e. 'Iron' for the iron stuff) Croben What you Want? 23:57, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Not available in Classic
"This (along with items in general) is only available in Indev, Infdev, Alpha and Beta mode." Isn't it much better to just say "This (along with items in general) is not available in Classic."? --SpyroCraft007 was here 00:05, 17 April

I personally think the ores should be a completely different page and the ingots/stuff you can make with it/ what you get when you destroy the ore should be a separate page, just sayin. I get confused when I wanna see the ores, It just brings ME right the the items that you get FROM the ore. So then I go again and it does the same, so I typed in the opposite I typed in "stuff you get from ores" and it finally brought me to the ores page. This is just a little bug I sometimes get and things to make minecraft wiki better ;D

Where's the trivia?
seriously, gold and diamond need a trivia section

diamonds found on layer 17-18
just now on the xbox 360 edition i found diamonds on layer 17-18(found the layer using the map)so is this how diamonds could generate in 1.7 or is a feature only on 360 edition due to the bottom of bedrock being on layer 5 or is it just a small bug?94.10.237.250 19:48, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Diamond vein numbers?
I always thought that they spawned in veins of 1-8, not 1-10. Did it get changed, or was I always wrong? InfN555 00:40, 20 October 2012 (UTC)


 * The world generator creates veins of up to 8 diamond ore. It's possible for two veins to generate very close together, so they may appear to be larger. -- Orthotope 07:42, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
