Durability tables: 'k'
What does that 'k' stand for in the Weapons and Tools table? --Eyvind 08:42, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It's talking about the formula listed higher up the page:

The maximum durability of weapons and tools is given by the formula D =  2k+1 ,  where D is the durability of the tool and k is a constant related  to the material the tool is crafted from.
 * Though of course, that isn't at all clear if you're only reading the "tables" section of the article. - Bomb Bloke (Talk/Contribs) 04:01, 26 December 2010 (CST)

Mixing Armor Materials
I was compiling information for what I thought would be a bug report to Notch when I realized how the armor/durability thing actually works. I have done quite a bit of testing on this now and am 100% positive that this is exactly how it works in Beta 1.1_02. I have some screenshots that would help illustrate the point, but I don't know how to upload image files to the wiki -- I just registered today because I thought this was too important to keep to myself.

I was also wondering if it would make sense to move this to the main Armor page. It seems a little too useful to be hidden away on the Item Durability page.
