Google
Did anyone notice that this is the top page for 'wooden planks' on google? --98.150.8.74 23:46, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Change list of uses into a grid.
Can someone who knows how to, split the Uses part into 2 or 3 columns so the page isn't so long. 2.218.15.135 05:51, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Animated crafting tables with wood planks
Almost all the pages that use wood planks as an ingredient (tons of them) have animated pages. I think think animations should be kept to a minimum as they are very visually irritating. Since wooden planks do not change names, ID and are visually identifiable with each other I think we should remove the animations and just keep the original plank in the table. Otherwise we have bouncing graphics on dozens of pages. --Moxxy 15:16, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I was going to suggest the animation to Ultradude, but he already did it. I don't think it's unnecessary. It can help let people know that they aren't limited to only 1 type of block to use in crafting or building. Sometimes images are more helpful than words, especially considering the lower spectrum in the age range of Minecraft players. - Asterick6 21:52, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I have bee involved in this discussion on other pages as well, and was the one who changed many of them to be the alternating way. I have opened a topic here to try to come to an agreement as it relates to all pages. Cultist O 22:08, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Old maps
if i update to 1.2.4 the just placed wooden planks in the old worlds will change their colour if are made of birch or pine wood? Anuros 22:58, 23 March 2012 (UTC)


 * It didn't keep track of which kind of wood was used to make planks before, so any existing planks will not change. -- Orthotope 04:58, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

New Wood Colours 1.2.4
everything made out of wood that can be placed as a building material; slabs, pressure plates, fences, doors, stairs, trapdoors etc must have the relevant colours based on the wood used for crafting in a future update. why would you bother having ONLY coloured planks when you can't even build anything properly liveable with only blocks?!

Slabs
It says under slabs that they burn in 12w17a, i think it should be worded so that you know that it is a different block ID and all slabs made before will still act like stone. ZeCraftyMiner 14:52, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Recipe Table: more columns?
Currently it's two columns, but that still leaves it kinda long, especially with all the "singleton" recipes at the end. Think it's worth splitting those recipes into a new wikitable, so we can do them in two columns with their ingredients? Maybe increase the original table, with all-planks and planks+sticks, to 3 columns while we're at it? Or would that be too wide, too busy, or otherwise bad? --Mental Mouse 00:52, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
