Talk:Block/Archive 1

The lava block image is 'dated. Additionally the Sponge block is shown from a different perspective than the rest and the glass block is at an odd rotation. --PCG
 * I already asked Zombuster to make new ones but I guess he became lazy. Guess he and I are pretty the same in those things :P--Quatroking - Row! Row! Fight the power! 00:19, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If you're really itchin for an icon, if you want I can rip them from the block menu. -- Shoy 00:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If you manage to make it the exact same size as the others, go for it.
 * I can't without making them look ugly stretched. >: -- Shoy 23:59, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Adminium: Misc block or construction? SteGriff 11:57, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

The image showing all the different blocks needs to be changed. I don't believe all the cloth blocks are available anymore.

I don't see the point in spamming all those links to block types in the paragraphs when there's a big table of block types below that link to the same things. Can this be changed? I think an Ores page could be considered as well. -- Aexis 20:18, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Do we really need
all these individual little pages for each block? None of them really reach over a short paragraph and an infobox in length; it'd be more practical to combine them into a larger page with sections for each block. Haipa Doragon 14:05, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Block Page Redo
We should re-do this page.

First off, we should have an image for every block (decorations can stay as one image) in that purple square (including Diamond Ore/Block, Furnace, Crafting Table, and Chest).

We should reorganize the blocks into 5 categories.

Survival (All blocks seen in Survival) Creative (Blocks only available in Creative) Indev (Blocks only available in Indev) Misc (keep this as is) Fluids (keep this as is)

Then the image on the right should be remade to include the updated Gold block. -KazooieBanjo 23:28, 5 April 2010 (UTC)


 * i am working on that really, just give it time. --FuzzyWuff 11:06, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

I just finished redirecting almost all of the pages, the only ones I didn't were the coal/iron/gold/diamond blocks and ore. We will most likely need to give them a rocksteady name, which means changing names from Iron to Iron Ore and the blocks to Iron Blocks and try to avoid using Iron/Gold/Diamond as a name in general. Actually, putting blocks and ore on the same article sounds better, we should probably try that instead. Second this page needs all block types to be synchronized, which means everything needs the same picture and the same layout. And of course need to add the missing blocks so far. And when is the items page coming? --Alphasoldier 12:14, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

So once i do this move as well, i will call you again to clean the old crafting pages like mushroom and stuff who will need cleaning.
 * actually, blocks are blocks, the items you carry are craftable items, so they will go in the same way as block in the craftable page, we are going to put together the crafting page with the furnace (i am not sure why crafting and furnace are two separate page actually) and all the component you can craft.

to give you an idea, i am following this table of rule http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Blocks,_items_and_data_values Blocks goes to blocks, and items goes to crafting, but i need your advice, do we call items items, or we keep the name as crafting ? because one or the other, it's going to be merged together. --FuzzyWuff 12:26, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

--If you are going to put each item in a list like the same way you did with blocks I'd call it items, if you're going to keep the same crafting layout I'd go with crafting. --Alphasoldier 12:38, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Just made a big update to the pages, added all the ores and blocks and also glass, the things that still need to be added are the decorations, (mushrooms, flowers and sapling) and crafting table and furnace, but not sure if they should be added. I also immediately redirected all the links and every page to their section. --Alphasoldier 00:07, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Should the Workbench be here too? Crafting should be kept separate, but linked to from the Workbench or Furnace section of this article (and probably referred to in the other, since we only link to another article once on a page). For that matter I suggest we also have a 'See also: Crafting' type thing for the Cloth, Torch, Trunk, Wood, Chest, Glass, TNT, Stone, Coal, Iron, Gold and Diamond Blocks as well. Your call though. You're the one that's been doing all the good work. :P SteveZombie 12:47, 12 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Did just about what you said, I think it works out nicely, still need to add the decorations, no clue how to work on that. Secondly I'm wondering about changing/reuploading every picture in the Block info, I like the small version a lot but I have no clue how those were screened. If I would figure out how, I'd try make them myself. Then also a lot of blocks need their info updated seeing some blocks don't have information about indev. Finally feel free to suggest any changes or additions like templates, anything to make things more organized. --Alphasoldier 18:01, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Template for each block
We should have an organized template for each block.

Suggestion

Summary. (a small explanation of the block) Unique Properties. (Anything special about the block, if nothing is then do not use this section) How to get it. (list the recipe required to get it or the means of obtaining it, if creative only do not use this section) What it can be used for (list all recipes involving using it, if no recipes exist say "Building things")-KazooieBanjo 22:16, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
