Protecting the page
I have noticed a lot of speculation that comes from non-users. Should we protect this page?--SamGamgee55 (talk) 17:11, 25 January 2017 (UTC)SamGamgee55

Is the new block the same as the new falling block?
They could be. They are very similar in appearance and texture. Could we at least make a note of this possibility on the page? -PancakeMan77 (talk) 16:13, 4 February 2017 (UTC)


 * It looks the same to me, indeed worth noting. -FVbico (talk) 17:20, 4 February 2017 (UTC + 1:00)


 * I would support noting that they could be the same block. However, was not able to confirm that they are the same. The BlobsPaper.png 17:18, 4 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Likely it's just not her business to confirm or deny teased features; I would take her response as supporting neither side of this speculation. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 18:19, 4 February 2017 (UTC)


 * That is exactly it. I can't confirm or deny teased features until the devs & PR give me the OK. A feature can change a LOT between the first tease and the snapshot/beta release of it, and sometimes slip releases, so I wait until I have confirmation so I don't unintentionally give out misleading info. --HelenAngel (talk) 20:47, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

 * I doubt they are the exact same block. They are likely two different blocks internally, like wool is to carpet, or like powered redstone lamps are to unpowered redstone lamps. Also, there is speculation that the block in the water is not the same block as the ones Jeb showed off previously. Some people think that the blocks are cement, wet cement and concrete; it's speculated that cement is the block that's crafted and is affected by gravity, wet cement is created by putting cement in water (the block in the gif Jeb posted), and concrete (the block Jeb showed in the first screenshot) might be made by putting wet cement in a furnace. There is some evidence to back this up, as the color of the pink block in the gif Jeb posted is not the same color as the pink block Jeb showed off earlier, and Shoghicp/Kappische's tweets hint that the blocks are concrete/cement related.

 * I noticed this too, but it could also be explained as more color tweaking. I think it's good the way we have it now. -PancakeMan77 (talk) 18:04, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

What does mean in windows?--66.50.4.27 21:05, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * There is no equivalent for PCs / Windows. Most of the time it's used as a modifier key with the mouse on a Mac as a workaround for simulating a right-click action on a multiple-button mouse that you would find on a PC. DSquirrelGM &#120035;&#120031;&#120018; 21:14, 10 February 2017 (UTC)


 * There is no key on Windows, it's just the Mac equivalent of . -Nixinova (talk|edits) 04:26, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Belongs in the 'unconfirmed features' section then, since Jeb specifically said it hasn't been implemented yet, and didn't confirm that it would be in the future. -- Orthotopetalk 23:36, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
