Talk:Anvil/Archive 1

Cartoon cliche without source
"It has been speculated to be able to fall and cause damage to mobs."

"Dinnerbone said it might be implemented this way." or "Some random guy on the internet thought it would be cool."? --☺ Sven ? ! 17:43, 10 October 2012 (UTC)


 * dinnerbonetweet:255957162763894784 - not by any means confirmation of a falling-anvil trap, but something might come of this. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 23:18, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

LOL
an ANVIL??? wow what else are they going to come up with, Boulders? Trigger hurt 18:55, 10 October 2012 (UTC) I bet the recipe will be something like:
 * Well i was wrong, but i was close :D Trigger hurt 17:22, 11 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Wow there are alot of edits going on on this page Trigger hurt 18:55, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Will this be a bug?
"If it lands on a transparent block (like torches, rails, etc.), it will destroy it instead of dropping itself as an item like sand and gravel do"

Do you guys think it would be a bug and be fixed in the next snapshot? 60.186.194.75 15:18, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Just find it won't be a bug because the last "it" (not "itself") refers to the transparent block. 60.186.194.75 17:13, 11 October 2012 (UTC)


 * You know i think what is a bug is when it lands on a pressure plate, spider, or boat that it drops itself as an item, it should destroy all weak blocks depending on what it hit, say glass. If i could i would test this. Trigger hurt 17:39, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Name
I feel the renaming of Anvil to Anvil Block and the changing of Anvil to a disambiguation page is completely pointless since there are only two things referred to as Anvil. It takes the same amount of clicks to get to the page on the file format, and only increases the amount of clicks needed to get to the page on the block. We don't need the regular name for everything to be disambiguation. Not even Wikipedia does that. TorchicBlaziken 00:12, 12 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Could we maybe make this page the "Anvil" page and the other will be "Anvil (file format)"? Seems like the best option without having the clunky word "block" in there... --Keithicus420 02:29, 12 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, that was a unnecessary change. We don't need a disambiguation page because there are only two articles and a clear primary topic (being the anvil block). Also, if we did need a disambiguation page, the block page would be called "Anvil (block)" not "Anvil Block". -- Hower64 03:30, 12 October 2012 (UTC)


 * In general, wiki policy is to name articles the same as the in-game item. I'm in favor of moving this page back to 'Anvil' and restoring the disambiguation link that User:Minecraft5025 removed. "Anvil file format" (no parens) is fine, as it matches the other file format page names. -- Orthotope 03:37, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Faggoty
Can someone edit out all the wannabe funny faggotry in this article? Thanks. --94.223.85.126 07:31, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. You can also do this yourself ! --80.134.0.144 07:35, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

improving tools
Can you add a faction of improve or repair by adding an ignot,for example diamond sword plus diamond will create sharpned or less breaking diamond sword, you can add also a forge.
 * Of course we can. We just need a game we can code these things in. --☺ Sven ? ! 14:06, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

How many uses?
This is a little ambiguous. How many uses does the Anvil block have? I realize it has three states, which would suggest three uses, but it's not very clearly stated. Could someone just clarify on this? 74.94.131.53 15:07, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The one I tested had 12 uses before breaking. --☺ Sven ? ! 18:28, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Levels?
What exactly are "levels"? Are they XP levels or something else? It doesn't seem very clear.

--whizzer0 10:27, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Since you can't spend height levels experience seems to be the only logical solution. --☺ Sven ? ! 11:14, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

So is this replacing the old repair system?
I certainly hope not... I'm going to be really annoyed if it costs an average of almost 7 iron ingots (55/12) to simply repair iron pickaxes. BTW, that last "purpose" paragraph is kind of odd: "On its last use, taking the item will cause the GUI to close and anvil to disappear, dropping the item on the ground." So it drops the item instead of letting you take it? --Mental Mouse 14:34, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The old repairing still works. The last use means as soon as you click on the output tool the GUI closes, the anvil disappears and the repaired tool drops to the ground. --☺ Sven ? ! 15:00, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Renaming bug???
I was playing around with the latest snapshot (12w41b) and it seemed like in the multiplayer version (i havent tested in SMP) the anvil couldnt rename items... i think this may have somthing to do with the fact that they tryed to fix the renaming crash when u delete all the characters in the anvil in multiplayer. Could anyone help???
