Template talk:Environment

Can someone explain the point of  instead of just  ? – ultradude25 ( T at 04:22, 14 December 2010 (CST)
 * Using the value with the three braces is actually a parameter; when you invoke the template, you can specify a different width if you wanted. --JonTheMon 08:42, 14 December 2010 (CST)

I am glad I forgot about this now, because the layout here is PERFECT =D

I'll help by uploading small icons, to bring it into line with the block/item templates. I'll start at around 4:30, as I'm at college atm.--Kizzycocoa 05:32, 14 December 2010 (CST)
 * Excellent! I'm glad I didn't step on any toes.
 * The suggestion by DannyF at Community_portal, to "Maybe rename "Time and Light" to "Nature" and put Trees in there", appeals to me, but I'm not 100% certain. Either go for it, or suggest alternatives.
 * Thanks again :) Ephemeris 17:17, 14 December 2010 (CST)

The Far Lands
I motion that the Far Lands page be put under Category:Environment and added to the Environment template, specifically the Space row. Jaeil 03:35, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Icons
Can we get images for Rain, Snow, and Thunderstorm? --{ Fishrock123 } ( Talk ) 16:19, 22 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I put together a potential thunderstorm icon. Let me know your thoughts [[File:lightning.jpg]] Qcdynamics 19:50, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks a bit too shiny. That but "minecrafty" would be great Tinaun 19:53, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

where to put Constellations?
two of us added Constellations to the template, I putted it in space and the other putted it in time, for now I'll delete he's version but will let you discuss the subject --Yurisho 18:35, 29 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Wiki-fighting is fun :P Seriously - considering Clouds is in the Time thing as well, I think it's more suited in that row. --Gemberkoekje 18:37, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, how is it part of the game space any more then Clouds? --Gemberkoekje 18:39, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * lets just skip this all and move them to "sky", k? --Kizzycocoa 18:40, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * there is no "sky" category...--Yurisho 18:45, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Wait! we can rename "Time and Light" as "sky" and put light in a new list:"Game mechanics"! --Yurisho 18:48, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I think he meant merging the constellation with the sky page or something... which is also fine to me --Gemberkoekje 18:46, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * the sky page redirect to the "air" block so no. --Yurisho 18:48, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I meant, make a new category called sky, and remove any unused categories after that.--Kizzycocoa 19:26, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, then consider it done! well, don't consider because it is actually already done...but...you get the point...--Yurisho 19:30, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it is more a part of the game SPACE and less of a time measuring device..thou so I also think of the sun and moon but they where putted in time...all in all,I think that the names of the categories needs to be changes so that constellations can be at the same place as the sun, moon and clouds as "Time and Light" does not describe clouds... how about "Time, Light and Orientation".--Yurisho 18:44, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

The new template structure.
If we keep the new template structure(which I would realy like to, because I made it) we will need to discuss several points it makes which I don't think I can answer myself:

A.Are trees a "natural structure" and thus fit that category more then "matter"? note that the blocks that form the trees are allready included in the "matter" category under "blocks".

B.should we keep Gemberkoekje's edit of the "Planned Features" and "Removed Features" groups?

C.what other "natural structures" exixt in the game? what is the definition of a "natural structure"? I suggest the following:
 * Every group of blocks that is formed in minecraft in a specific way doe to (a) code line/s on purpose is a natural structure.
 * thus making hills, cliffs, lakes, floating "Islands" and mineral veins "natural structures" --Yourisho 22:43, May 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, we should keep my edits, cause they are my edits XD - but the other templates have a similar structure, so having planned features and removed features next to current features is confusing at best. I would like trees, hills, cliffs etc. to feature on their own page, but I don't know how much is known of them.--Gemberkoekje 19:48, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Good point with the other templates...and I think you can make a page for most of them if you REALLY want to and try hard enough...but that is not a good enough excuse to make one...but you don't have to give them a page, you can use the # to link to them, you know like in "map#Lake"... --Yurisho 23:08, May 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree to B. and to put trees into the natural structure group. For other natural structures, I agree to the definition but I don't think that simple things like hills, cliffs, etc. should be added, only structures that have their own page. – Scaler (t) 20:39, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should take all the "Map features" paragraph off the Map page and put them all in a page of there own, give them a name, and link that page in the template? --Yurisho 20:47, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I did just that, now let's see people's reaction...--Yurisho 21:03, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

snow icon problem...IT'S WHITE!
yea...the snow icon is quite invisible...do someone have an idea on how can we fix that? maybe putting a background?
 * I was thinking about using a gray background, but this will wait until I finish making a better template(it's still quite incomplete --Yurisho 16:57, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Making the snow particles black, like on Cobweb. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 17:31, 2 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Why not just put a sky behind them? For example:
 * Black snow would look awful :P --Warlock 17:33, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of sky-color background, and I'll do it, again, when I finish with upgrading the template. --Yurisho 17:40, 2 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Done – Scaler (t) 18:08, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow you couldn't just wait did you? you did that thou I said I'll get to it myself...fine, as long as the job is done it's O.K by me --Yurisho 18:10, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, there was small "bugs" I wanted to fix (transparency on the edge of the cloud icon, white pixels missing on the pickaxe). Thought it would be better to fix all this simultaneously. – Scaler (t) 18:19, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, I didn't noticed all of this, it is good you edited then.--Yurisho 18:55, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
