Talk:Tutorials/The second day

SuperArticle?
If you wanted, I could create a superarticle for the first few days.

Or, we could work on an article with a "Choose your own adventure" style. There would be different paths to take.

It's your article, I'm giving you the choice.

That's a really good idea, the choose your own adventure style. I was the creator of this article, but it doesn't make it mine, though. We need a collaborative agreement for this.

Perhaps we could make different paths like:

- very defensive

- very offensive

- mining camps

- underwater

- floating

etc.

Anyway the idea of a choose your own adventure is a great idea. Thanks for bringing it up.Hope we can get more people to agree. R0cketor - Talk 21:51, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * We could make a project, recruit people to help. You up for it? -7 22:01, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. Well actually if we make the pages now it's not like we're going to get blocked for it. at the worst case scenario they'll be delete and we'll be told not to do it. You can create the page, then set up discussion and we'll talk about which things we'll do. R0cketor - Talk 22:24, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Skeletons+Doorways
Confirm/Deny the following? Skeletons can see through doorways, and as such will try to shoot you through the window. Their aim is phenomenal, but they do miss occasionally (1 in 5). However, they aim for the door crosspiece. Since arrows can go through the window panes, about 1 in 5 skeleton shots will hit you through a door. Darkid 22:07, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

It definitely has happened to me multiple times. However their accuracy is horrible via a door. Also they can only shoot through an inward facing door. Example the door is closer to the inside than to the outside when it is closed. To stop this you just place it while you are outside. I tested this out and with one skeleton, it hits me at point blank range (behind the door) every one in five shots. BUT, i have found out something. Sneaking (or squatting, whatever it is) will decrease the chance of hitting you. Since they aim for the crosspiece they are shooting upward at a big force and normally only hits 1 in 10 times (to me) R0cketor - Talk 21:57, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Needs to address a few more issues
This is a very good article, but I think it needs to address a few more details. Because it touched on mining I believe it is important to mention how a wooden pickaxe can't mine iron ore and 'up' while a stone pickaxe can't mine redstone ore and 'up' (I consider this a reasonable sequence: coal, iron, redstone, lapis, gold, diamond, emerald). I don't think it's unreasonable to keep the possibility in mind that a new player might come into contact with redstone (or other ores) on the second day.

I also believe we should mention armor (not sure!) but at the very least we do need to address the shield because this can be a serious life saver (example: can fully block a creeper explosion).

Finally, after re-reading part one I seriously think we need to put much more attention to a chest. Right now chapter one mentions that a chest "isn't really necessary" but I seriously disagree with that. A chest will help a new player keep their items (or some of them) in the event that they get killed and can't find their death point within 5 minutes.

These are some of my first impressions and things I plan to be working on in the upcoming weeks. - ShelLuser (talk) 06:17, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
