Minecraft Wiki talk:Java Edition unintuitive ID list

Suggested
(dont know if theyre already mentioned) – Nixinova   06:46, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Shulker color IDs - currently 0–16, should be named.
 * block tags - "anvil" should be "anvils", "wool" should be "wools"; "impermeable"→"glass" (maybe)


 * The color NBT for shulkers (and wolves, sheep, cats, and banner patterns) aren’t IDs currently; but the same could be said about translation keys. I may add them later, but for now I’m not adding them.
 * As for the block tags:
 * * Anvil -> anvils is already listed
 * * Wools is not correct English ("I have a bunch of wool")
 * * Impermeable may currently only contain glass, but the block tag’s usage is for not making liquid drip particles, and as such can contain any other kind of block at any moment, such as sea lanterns (There’s actually a bug report of that missing in the block tag).

 * Tags should be singular. Even though they represent a collection of items, they are used in recipe matching, where plurals do not make sense. liach (talk) 23:23, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Suggestion
Hello. Description for #immune_to_withers says that "It's specifically the ender dragon, also plural". Wither is the Ender Dragon? This needs to be changed. I suggest "Plural". Thank you. User-26266344 (talk) 04:35, 3 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up. I copy paste and alter new entries, so sometimes the description manages to slip through. I have corrected the description now. FVbico (talk) 05:03, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Template for entries?
Maybe we can add a template for this page, so that you can just do (for example), opinions? FVbico (talk) 09:21, 17 April 2019 (UTC)


 * That seems more verbose than just using plain table formatting. – Nixinova Nixinova sig1.png Nixinova sig2.png 09:27, 17 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Fair point. FVbico (talk) 09:31, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Straw bale
Just sounds weird. Maybe have something like "Wheat Block"? "Hay bale" is a commonly used term, though, so maybe remove this entry altogether. – Nixinova   09:27, 17 April 2019 (UTC)


 * That's the actual thing though. It's not hay, so the current name is actually plain wrong. Wheat block could work, but this is quite clearly meant to be a staw bale due to the ropes on the block, if those didn't exist, I'd indeed suggest "Wheat Block". FVbico (talk) 09:31, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Block States
The rationale for all three items in "Block States" is "Consistency with slabs." But slabs are half-blocks; each of these other objects spans two blocks, so "top" and "bottom" don't make as much sense for them as analogues, particularly for beds. Actually if we want one set of terms for all, "lower" and "upper" would be better, as those terms would make sense for everything here: beds, doors, two-block-high plants, and even slabs. &#8212; Memetics talk &#124; edits 08:07, 24 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I need to double check something before I can properly reply to this, but I can tell you that I talked about these with a dev back when I was still a mojira mod. FVbico (talk) 08:27, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
