Template talk:Block/Archive 1

I need help. how do I make it so, if no tool is specified, there is nothing that appears there? when editing a block and not adding a tool, it goes crazy and adds the full-size image of the block used above it as it's tool.--Kizzycocoa 10:43, 31 August 2010 (PDT)

Um, the last edit completely broke the tool section of the template.....--Kizzycocoa 08:44, 4 September 2010 (CDT)
 * nvm. working now.--Kizzycocoa 08:45, 4 September 2010 (CDT)

requirements
just gonna tell you a few more requirements, if you can add them in :3 "direct sunlight" (flowers) "next to water" (papyrus) "near water" (seed/crops) so, if you can add them, please do! =3 if not, nevermind ^^--Kizzycocoa 14:28, 5 September 2010 (CDT)

Add: Destroy Information
I've had a lot of people asking lately how to destroy things, and, when destroyed, whether you get the block back or not.

A good example of this is Pressure Plates and Stepping Stones. If destroyed by anything other than a pickaxe, you get nothing back...


 * Break the blocks under pressure plates to get them back.Toadbert

Two images?
Can we update this block so that it can show two images? I'm thinking for the step/double step, furnace/burning furnace pages.. could also be used for Redstone ore/glowing redstone ore, redstone torch on/off, redstone wire on/off and so on. There's already the facility to show two data values (as on the furnace page), would make sense to be able to have two images. DannyF1966 10:36, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Done! I also added a 36px image that I intend to be used as an image for when the block in in your inventory. The parameters are  and , respectively. Farvei 21:22, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Also added a section for stackability of the item, parameter is . Farvei 21:30, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool :-) Updated the Step page to use the new template. DannyF1966 22:27, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

New tool choices and text
Just to let everyone know, now when putting in a parameter for, the image (if there is one) will also be a link to the respective part of the Tools page, and will also give the name of the tool when you hover over the image. Also, I added a new option for, which is  , so if you put in  , the template will say All tools. It's for objects that don't get bonuses from any tool, like leaves and cloth.

Burn Time
Many things can be used as fuel in a furnace, and I think that an objects burn time should be represented in the template infobox. If this can be done,yay; if not, so be it. Thanks for your help. Mattokun 15:24, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Minimum Tool
Can we add an optional "minimum tool required" bit to the template? 'Minimum tool' meaning minimum tool required to successfully extract the block. User:ConMan8

Tool
Currently in the source, it states that for the tool space, I could put both "All tools" and "none". From my understanding, there is no blocks that has more than one preferred tools, let alone all tools. I think the "all tools" should be removed as "none" makes more sense. --Scykei 08:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Change the icons to my set of Generics?
I think that using diamond icons is a little too specific and may make people think you need an diamond tool to break it. Also, I think these would fit alot better. I made a set of Generic tool icons, here they are

Axe

Pickaxe

Spade

Hoe

Sword
 * I like it. Go ahead. Zaratustra 01:43, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Done transitioning the icons. Green Cream Soda 23:10, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Hm. Shouldn't we resort to using the proper tools when needed, though? Like, we could have an Iron Pickaxe with a + sign next to it on the Redstone Ore page. Just saying~ NeonJ 18:10, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Could somebody add a section for miscellaneous notes?
It would be useful to have a small section in the template for notes (e.g., adding this to cake: "Heals for when used. Has 6 uses.") Chris3145 01:13, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Like that? Zaratustra 01:43, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * But, why? The infobox is for generic information. Notes and usage is more appropriate in the article itself. --JonTheMon 03:30, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
