Minecraft Wiki:Templates/Advanced Templates

This page is about more complicated templates.

Msgbox
A very common template, here it is fully explained.

Block, Entity and Item Templates
''Do not add parameters you do not need. All parameters have a default state (None or ?). Almost all parameters can be left blank (by not adding anything) without any error occurring.''

Block
&lt;onlyinclude&gt;&lt;/onlyinclude&gt;, Note: You do not need to fill in any parameter, but this is the minimum requirement: &lt;onlyinclude&gt;&lt;/onlyinclude&gt;,

Entity (Including Mobs)
From Falling sand to Creepers, most entities can move. Most are mobs.

BlockGrid
Block grid allows you to make pictures like this:

Simple example

It uses the terms from BlockSprite to define single-character-abbrevations for blocks. Do it like this:

In short, you pick a character you like, and put =something behind it.

'''Do not make them too big! There is a maximum of blocks / page.'''

Schematic
The Schematic template is similar to BlockGrid, but adapted for Redstone circuits and similar diagrams. See the documentation page for full details, but it can stack several images in one grid space, add short labels, and show components from the top or side. Large diagrams can cause problems with page loading; use of LoadBox or LoadPage can be used to work around this.
