I want post an image
Hi, I'm new in the wiki, I've only registered to post an image, that shows a sugar cane that naturally spawned in the top of leaves. I don't know how to do this. If you or someone could explain to me or even post that for I would thank you. And, sorry for my English I'm Brazilian.

Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox
Hiya! just messaging all other admins about my project, the Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox. This sandbox initiative is going to try to gauge what the community wants page-wise, and where they want the wiki to go. the plan is to use that, and see if the wiki can go that way, if our rules need improving, or if it is not viable to go in certain directions with the wiki. So, there will be many pages that break our current rules, that will be located at "Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox/PAGENAMES". I'm just messaging to request, unless it is blatant spam, please don't delete these pages. There is a system to delete these pages if they are too low quality, or not active enough, and a system to tell users what has been deleted, and why. as well as informing them if a page will never be reconsidered. This section of the wiki is to see if we can push the rules, and if we should we push the rules. I welcome other admins to help take part in this project, to see how the wiki can viably adapt to the community. Have a good day! :) --Kizzycocoa 22:26, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

i have so many questions

 * how can i become an admin?
 * how does a powered rail work? cause they dont really work for me,
 * can i make moss stone?
 * i made a new suvival map and i spawned in the mose creepyst place! the trees were giant mushrooms, the grass was gray [WHAT WAS THAT DARK MAGIC?!?!?!?] what was that about? it was a village seed that didnt work. answers?
 * all the villages ive been to had no golems, why?


 * what does a snow golem do? ive only seen them in the wiki and in comparison, snow golems are to small.
 * why does dye only work on sheep? [notch, comon, i was really looking forward to purple chickens]
 * can i only ask for parts in mutliplayer? [my sis says yes, my brother says no] {?!?!?!?}
 * have you ever seen a spider jockey?
 * everytime i go under ground, i here erie, creepy sounds, what does that mean?

confused soul, --Cheetahfur 19:45, 11 April 2012 (UTC)


 * You weren't kidding, Cheetahfur. =) One at a time:
 * Unlike on some other wikis, there is no set process for requesting or gaining adminship on this wiki; the best thing to do is simply to start editing, make high-quality edits, and show that you're willing to work in an area (and actually be good at working in that area) where the admin tools would be a net benefit. In my case, I've done a certain amount of technical work here (on templates, though not nearly as much as I've done on other wikis), and after my initial request for adminship fell flat (I asked on User talk:Quatroking, though I'm going to tell you now that asking for adminship here won't get you very far), I simply started editing. After quite a while, Curse wanted some additional admins for the English wiki, and Wynthyst (who acts a bit as a community liaison between the wiki and Curse) asked me if I'd be interested. Basically, demonstrate that you're a trustworthy, capable editor who would benefit from the tools, don't make a nuisance of yourself, and be patient, and you may get to be an admin eventually. ;)
 * I don't really know; I've never played much with them myself. They should work for you if you have a Redstone Torch next to them and allow a minecart (whether you're in it or not) to get the expected boost. Other than that, the only thing I could tell you is to read the Powered Rail article.
 * You can't currently; you have to find it in generated dungeons.
 * That would be a mushroom biome. The giant mushrooms are Giant Mushrooms, and the grass is Mycelium. There should also be red-and-white cows with mushrooms on their backs, called Mooshrooms, there.
 * What version of Minecraft are you running? If you haven't upgraded to the latest version, golems may not spawn because they may not be in the version you're running.
 * Basically, it's like a guard; it throws snowballs at hostile mobs. The snowballs don't do much damage, but they do distract the mobs if you're being chased.
 * Because that's all it is programmed to work on. Personally, I'd like to be able to use it on glass, myself. =)
 * I'm not sure what you're asking here; what are the parts you're referring to?
 * Yes, though it's been quite some time. I've seen some very recent videos with spider jockeys, though.
 * Certain of those sounds are simply random ambience, I think, but some of them indicate a cave that you haven't explored yet.
 * I think that's everything; let me know if there's anything else you need or if I need to further explain anything. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:43, 11 April 2012 (UTC)


 * THANKS
 * i heard that you could say, lets say: send dinodude 12 nether blocks. and you could get them. that what im trying to find out. and yes there was red cows! [weird]. i later found out that if you are tunneling underground, and you suddenly hear like, very odd and creepy and short music, [not the happy kind, but not the very bad kind,] it means you are *this close to a monster spawner!! i found a village seed thay was soposto lead me to a village [survival] but instead, it didnt, so im like ok whatever. so i deleted the word and made another of the same seed, and the same world spawned! the same cave, the same formations of trees, everything!! that happened like 7 times. ??
 * i saw a picture that showed me how to make a saddle and moss-stone and i tried it out and it didnt work. [whose the false?] wiki said i couldnt, and the user who made the pic said i could. ??? and tip: if you find a village, and you go between 2 village houses and you see a hole and you fall into it, DONT TRY TO GET OUT! its an un finished hole to a monster spawner! and i ment something like this: you walk out of your [survival] home, and get hit by nothing, so your like whatever and you go on your way till you get hit again by a[turns around]SKELETON RIDING A SPIDER!!! and your like HEY MAN THATS NOT COOL something like that. what are those little brown things scattered in the desert? how fast does a sapling grow? how many hits does it take to kill a cow with your hands? can i make cheese? i made a bucket and found a stream and clicked on it with the bucket, but nothing happened.??-how do i pick up water? are wolfs the only pets i can have? in survival mode, how is the nether helpful?:D [creepyland] where can i find ghasts? how are silverfish bad?[silverfish spawner,] go to creative, put it on hard, put silverfish everywere, turn it on peaceful, they disapear. ??? :? hope thats not too much,
 * Cheetahfur 22:47, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * oh and are cauldrons ONLY for water? and look at the pic on my page, the blocks in the invintory, what kind of blocks are those!?!?!?!
 * teehee, Cheetahfur 22:57, 13 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Aah, now I know what you're talking about. That's a server command, meaning in vanilla Minecraft, it can only be used in multiplayer. Furthermore, that particular command is restricted to server ops. If you want that functionality in singleplayer, you have a few options: Creative Mode allows you to build with an infinite supply of blocks, and also features fly mode (toggled by double-tapping the spacebar); Single Player Commands is a mod that allows you to use server commands in single player mode; and TooManyItems is a mod that allows you to use any block in the game, even those that aren't normally obtainable, and also features an inventory saver (note that I can't help you install mods or anything, though, since I've never done much with any of them).
 * The music can certainly play when you're near a monster spawner, but it usually just means you're near an unexplored cave of some sort.
 * Seeds usually don't generate the same world from one version of Minecraft to the next; you probably just found a seed for a different version of Minecraft from what you're running. On the other hand, the same seed on the same version of Minecraft will generate the same world every time it's used, hence your experience with getting the same world seven different times. ;)
 * There are undoubtedly mods that add crafting recipes for saddles and moss stone, but in vanilla Minecraft these items aren't craftable. Again, though, I can't help you out if you want to try mods.
 * The little brown things in deserts are Dead Bushes.
 * The amount of time required for saplings to grow is random and can range from a few minutes to hours; some information on how sapling growth works is on Tree.
 * Cows require 20 hits from your fist to kill (they have 10 hearts of health, and each hit with your fist deals half a heart of damage).
 * No, currently cheese isn't in the vanilla game. In all likelihood, there's a mod that adds it, though.
 * You have to right-click with a bucket on a water source block to pick up water (this also works for lava).
 * In addition to wolves, you can tame ocelots after which they will be loyal to you. Snow Golems and Iron Golems could also be considered pets, though they don't protect you specifically, and Iron Golems will attack you if you attack them first.
 * It depends on how you play, ultimately: if you're a builder, the Nether is the only source of blocks such as Netherrack, Soul Sand, Nether Brick, and Glowstone; if you're an adventurer, accessing the Nether is required for brewing (since a Brewing Stand requires a Blaze Rod to craft, and potions usually require Nether Wart for brewing); and if you're out to "complete" the game, the Nether is a very helpful step in getting to the End.
 * Ghasts are found in the Nether.
 * Silverfish can enter several different types of blocks, after which it's very difficult to tell the normal blocks from the Silverfish blocks. In addition, if you hit a silverfish, it can "call" other silverfish that are in nearby blocks to attack you.
 * All hostile mobs disappear in Creative mode.
 * Yes, cauldrons are now only useful for holding water. They were originally meant to form the basis of the potion system.
 * I'm not sure; the person that took that picture was using a texture pack. You would have to ask them what texture pack they were using, and what block that is, unless someone else happens to recognize it and can help you out.
 * I'm not trying to be rude, but in the future, if you have a question about a specific aspect of the game (e.g. a specific type of block or mob), could you read its article on here before asking me? Many of your questions are answered on the relevant article. If you can't find an answer, though, by all means go ahead and ask me anyways.

Reaching Admins to discuss incorrect bans
I was incorrectly auto-banned by the abuse filter yesterday, and all the messages kept encouraging me to contact admins about it.

When I tried to add a topic to an admin's talk page, the wiki helpfully reminded me of how banned I was and that I should contact an admin about that.

It seems like banned people should have the permission to talk to admins, since only incorrectly banned people would ever risk posting things on an admin's talk page. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Redson (Talk&#124;Contribs) 13:54, 18 April 2012‎. Please sign your posts with


 * Right, if you're banned, you should obviously ignore my advice to leave messages on my or others' talk page on-wiki since you can't (and I agree, banned editors being unable to edit admins' talk pages is something that has bugged me for a very long time, but there's not much I can do about it). I wasn't thinking about the fact you'd been banned when I wrote that; if it happens again, you should go ahead and email an admin for help. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:44, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * The top of the Admin Noticeboard has a note about how to contact an admin by email. I'm not familiar with the messages given to banned users, but perhaps something similar could be added to them; not everyone will think to go to the noticeboard. -- Orthotope 20:06, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Hello Sebastianpin, I don't have any control over that, and am not the one to ask. We do have a translation project, and there appears to be a subproject for Romanian, but it doesn't look like much has been done. If you'd like, you can contribute to the subproject; after all the main articles have been translated, Curse will decide whether there seems to be enough interest for a new language wiki version. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:52, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Incrementing numbers?
I want to use padright in the navbox template so that you don't have to have the code for a group 20 times. Now from your repeat template this is simple enough to work out initially, and you could probably stick a switch in to work out how many times you want to repeat it, however I need to have a way to increment the number so you get group1 list1, group2 list2, etc.

Or would this idea be completely flawed due to it including the user input of each group as part of the padding? – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 15:33, 27 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think it would work very well, though I'm not sure exactly what problems you might face trying to do so; I've never tried using repeat techniques on parameter names, so I'm not sure just how you would work with them. There are also potential problems with the repeat limit; #padleft seems to have a hard limit on the length of the output string of no more than 500 characters (anything more is dropped), and the older #replace-based version has a similar limit of 1000 characters (the original #expr-based version has two limits, as I recall, the first is 14 replaces (due to how many decimal places MediaWiki tracks or something), and the second is a limit on the length of the input string, to 30 characters, IIRC).
 * Wikipedia's version doesn't *look* like it'd have any such similar limits, but I don't really understand how it works (I've got the gist of it, I think, but I'm lost on the details) and haven't tried playing with it any. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:34, 27 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Well I worked out the incrementing number, that was actually really easy.  
 * If you transclude the template normally, it won't actually increment, you actually have to define the first parameter (even though it isn't actually used in the template).
 * For example      would give you 1 2 3 4.


 * However, I didn't have any luck getting it to work with the navbox. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 11:57, 28 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Aah, now see, I never would have thought to use #var & co.; I still haven't done nearly enough with them to really understand how they work and what might be possible with them.
 * In the long-term, we'll have a solution for this after we finally get Lua as a replacement for the current template system. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:29, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Looking at the page you linked, Ultradude, they only say they've tested it in IE6&7, so it's possible that somewhere between there and IE9 is some changed behavior breaking it. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:22, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

I tried changing the Enchanting page but you guys just changed it back.
I have found that under the Fire Protection, you can only get it by itself, but the boots can have Feather Fall. Well I have enchanted a helmet with Fire Protection IV and Aqua Infinity I. I changed it so it says that but now it is changed back to only the boots. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.190.127.33 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:52, 29 May 2012.

benedict03 blocked
Hoping this is the right place. My son was blocked today for behaviour he thought was OK. It looks like he ignored some warnings. I have told him he needs to pay attention to whatever the moderators say. He was blocked for griefing. He was actually breaking a brick in a house to test if it was "protected" and was reported before he put it back. He was not destroying the house. This is something he has been taught by a friend as a way to find out whether property is available or not. He and his sister have lost houses themselves they have not protected in time by others doing the same thing so thought it was how things were done. I have tried to find rules around this but can't see any. I would be happy to let him know what he should and shouldn't do but he certainly wasn't intending to be destructive. Just trying to see if the property was open or not. Are you able to reinstate him and also clarify what is allowed? It seems his friend Horsefink75 was also banned doing the same thing today. He builds beautiful houses and I know was certainly not intending to be inappropriate. Many thanks!

I was accused of making the Page Table and Chair! I have solid evidence that it is real! Just look in the first ever indev jar and look at terrain.png! Arrran Weeviling said it's fake! The message states:

 * Hello Tables, I have seen what you're talking about. However, we don't have any actual information on what these textures were actually supposed to be for, so an article would be complete overkill. Instead, this should be given a section on Unimplemented features. One final note, I don't think the second texture is for a table; I think it's far more likely that it was supposed to be the front of the chair seat and legs. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:18, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

twitter: prefix
Looks like this is mangling Jeb's username; twitter:jeb_ links to the account named 'jeb' (no underscore). Is it possible to escape the trailing underscore somehow so it doesn't get removed? -- Orthotope 16:24, 11 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately not; the closest we can come is affixing a slash after the underscore: twitter:jeb_/ (which results in an ugly URL but does work). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:10, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Grid finished (finally)
So I actually finished rewriting the grid template. I managed to work out how to add animations and everything seems to be working.

There's only a few problems that I've found that I don't know how to solve.
 * 1) Having a space after a name will count that as part of the filename (File:Grid Dirt .png), which obviously won't show the intended image. This didn't happen on the old template, but I can't see how it dealt with the problem.
 * 2) I couldn't find a way to catch missing images (and display File:Grid Unknown.png instead) without hitting a limit on Crafting. #ifexist is limited to 100, and crafting used 909 (I think I might have had the #ifexist running twice, but even without that it would still be way over the limit). I tried a transcluding trick, but it hit a similar limit, and caused every image to show up on the page's template list. Is there a way to find how many of a resource we've used? If then, we could catch missing images until we get close to the limit, then allow them to display the wiki's normal missing image text (if they are missing).
 * 3) I had to move the display code to a separate template to make the animations work, since having the grid template call the animation template, which then called the grid template again for each frame caused the wiki to complain about a template loop. It would only ever loop once, so if we could trick the wiki into letting one loop through then we would only need to run the animation parser when there actually is an animation, thus allowing us to have 1 less template when there's no animations. (And it would allow Grid to be the display template, which I think makes more sense, instead of it being an animation parser that calls a display template.)

Other than that minor stuff, I think it's ready to deploy. As usual, I'd want someone (you :D) to look over it first to see if there's any glaring problems, or if they've got any better ways to do things. You'll need the all the u-grid css from User:Ultradude25/vector.css for everything to display, and if you want to see the animations you'll need the script at the bottom of User:Ultradude25/vector.js. –ultradude25 (T&#124;C) at 14:31, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I saw your work on User:Ultradude25/Projects/Grid/Cell. =)
 * I'll have a look, but first I'm probably going to have to add more whitespace in the code so I can read it more easily. If I can't figure out a proper solution, though, I know of a hack to get rid of the space.
 * Have you experimented with setting Grid Unknown.png as the background image for one of the divs and displaying the proper image (or an empty cell image) over top of it? For that matter, this could be refined so that Grid Unknown.png is only added as the background if a block or item is being displayed in the cell. From there, we can use CSS to hide the redlink that appears if an image isn't uploaded (at least, as long as the CSS is added in a stylesheet; inline CSS doesn't work very well with links).
 * Unfortunately not from within wikimarkup, though that sounds like a very useful feature. I don't think it'd be very feasible until we get Lua for template scripting, but that's going to be a few months down the road even for Wikimedia wikis, and it'd also require the scripts having access to a global page state (which will be needed anyways for variables in many situations).
 * The best thing would be to have only one template (Grid/Cell, or whatever we end up calling it), and let the Javascript handle all of the animation. There shouldn't be any need to recreate the entire cell for each frame of the animation. I think the best way would be to have one div for each frame, absolutely aligned to be stacked so that it defaults to showing the first block/item, and then using Javascript to manipulate the z-index if the cell needs to be animated, but I have no idea what sort of browser bugs there are there (I know IE 6 has issues with z-index, but I don't know if Curse is worried about supporting it any more).
 * I'll have a look in a minute, I think, but I can't promise very much after today; it's sounding like I might have a lot of stuff happening IRL, probably through the end of the month and then some. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:56, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * It's a shame there's no way to use regular expressions, or at least expose trim.
 * Hmm, I hadn't thought about doing it as a background. That should be really simple.
 * Looks like I'm going to have to learn lua... D:
 * The reason I did it this way is so you don't have to have the 9 lines of code that displays each image copied for each frame (that would be a right nuisance to update).
 * That's alright, these issues aren't show stoppers, so there's no rush to fix them. –ultradude25 (T&#124;C) at 21:17, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * That's coming with Lua (I don't know about regexes per se, but we'll definitely have a lot more power in manipulating strings). ;)
 * Numbering placeholder =D
 * From what I understand, Lua is actually supposed to be fairly simple and straightforward as a scripting language. I also don't think we'd be getting it for at least another year, even if it landed in MediaWiki 1.21 (which should be released in August or September, at the rate recent versions have been getting released).
 * Hmm... If I understand correctly, currently Cell just displays a single static cell, and to animate, the grid template (be it Crafting Table, Furnace, or Brewing Stand) just calls several Grid templates and wraps the bunch in a single span with an "animate" class, right? I can't get the animation to work myself, even though I've copied the necessary JS and it appears to be working properly according to Chrome's error console... I also don't understand what you're getting at by ending up with having to copy 9 lines of code per frame with my version; could you elaborate?
 * Lastly, it would help if I could get a rundown of exactly what each parameter is for in Grid; think you could whip up some documentation real quick? =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:38, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * You said to just let the javascript handle the animation, so at the bear minimum the template will need to output each image and number right? So unless you're planning on using loops (crafting isn't going to like that), you'd need the (was) 9 lines of code that does that copied for each frame that the animation could have.
 * The reason the animation doesn't work is you missed the CSS that hides the in-active cells.


 * Basic doc:
 * what image to use
 * the number to display
 * adds the output class to the grid which makes it 48x48px
 * adds an additional class (used to make the first frame of the animation start with the active class, so it displays for people with JS off)
 * sets the vertical-alignment
 * if set will add _ to the end of all image names and /Mods// in front of every link
 * if set will remove any links and set title=""
 * if set to none will remove all links, otherwise will replace the automatic link based on the image name
 * sets an image which is always displayed behind 's image (used for the brewing stand) –ultradude25 (T&#124;C) at 22:01, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Aah, now I see. Yes, the basic idea is to have Cell output every image and number. As you said, loops are out of the question for this, but we can fake them by putting the output/display code into a Cell/frame template or similar, and then we can just do something like  for each frame, with the default frame getting the "active" class.
 * Got the extra CSS, now the animations work. Thanks for pointing it out. =D
 * Cool, I'll have another look in a bit and see what other improvements/streamlining I might be able to do now that I know exactly what everything does. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:26, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * So that is basically how it already is then? Except it wouldn't output the frame and it wouldn't need to pass along as many variables. Sounds like a good idea anyway, especially having less variables to pass on.
 * One obviously stupid thing I noticed while writing the doc is I have, which add a class and , which adds a class... I've fixed that now and made a few tweaks to names.
 * I'm going to see if I can get that ? image idea to work now. –ultradude25 (T&#124;C) at 22:58, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
