Talk:Tutorials/Shelters

Where's the content?
I was trying to reorganize/reformat/clean this when I realized there is very little content on this page that isn't elsewhere, and in better detail in that other place. Does this do anything for the wiki that the list of general tutorials and farming tutorials doesn't?

This page needs a major overhaul, but before I jump into that, I wanted to know if there is a purpose for this page at all?Qcdynamics 01:00, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, there isn't much on this page that isn't on other pages, but this gives it all to you in one big summery. I use this page all the time to find new ways to expand and make my house look and feel better and cooler. Without this page, you'd have to jump around quite a bit in order to get everything you need. JayTheBlue 22:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Rebuilding Wall Error
The description of the self rebuilding wall says it needs pistons. This isn't correct, as the concept of the self rebuilding wall has been around far longer than pistons have! As an example, see this video:

Missing Mob-drops
It says that a mob grinder doesn't give string or spider eyes. This isn't always true, as cactus can be placed to kill any spiders that would clog the grinder and their drops can still be funneled down. 96.241.54.113 22:20, 28 February 2012 (UTC) (Rhou17)

Potentially Misleading Info for Beginner Players
This is nitpicking I know, but it could potentially mislead new players. Please correct me if I'm misinformed.

Here's the quote from the article: Sleeping in a bed resets your spawn point to the last bed you slept in. Put beds in all bases to easily transfer primary bases. As an added bonus, sleeping in a bed at night causes time to pass quickly, reducing hostile mob spawning and greatly improving productivity. A bedroom often shares purpose with another room.

As far as I was aware, sleeping in a bed didn't pass any time, but simply reset the time of day to dawn. No time has passed, so productivity doesn't really increase at all, does it? Smelting, the crowing of crops, and anything else that requires time isn't sped up by sleeping in a bed. Didn't want to change the phrasing without clearing it up first, as I could be wrong. --86.40.22.149 19:40, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

#land mines
How about you use a lot of note blocks that decrease pitch before exploding the TNT? Cause it goes like OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo..............KABLAMMO

Don't Remove It!
Don't delete it, just tweak it a little and maybe change the name. This page is very useful in creative if you want an awesome house. SwagZillah 00:52, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't see why we can't keep it. Its a pretty useful page, if you think about it. MaryTheTiger 23:02, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I second. I like this page, I find it to be useful. Perhaps an exception could be made for it?

 * The page is kinda informatic, isn't it? Deletion of it might send some users into outrage. I like the idea of an exception. MaryTheTiger 19:51, 23 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I third this. This page is one I go to when I need inspriation. 98.159.27.28 15:13, 24 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree with all of you - an exception would be almost necessary - this is one of the first pages that come up in google for a search of 'fun things to do in minecraft' or 'things to build in minecraft' and is extremely useful for players who wish to find something to do. Do not delete.


 * I completly agree I'm going to remove the tag --98.240.150.148 01:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
