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

MCW:Admin noticeboard#1.12 The BlobsPaper 19:16, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
Agreed. Redrooey Totem of Undying Black & White Rabbit 17:12, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

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, HelenAngel was not able to confirm that they are the same. The BlobsPaper 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 have added the note. The BlobsPaper 19:00, 4 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. Jocopa3 (talk) 20:40, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
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)

Help

What does ⌘ Cmd 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. DSquirrelGM𝓣𝓟𝓒 21:14, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
There is no ⌘ Cmd key on Windows, it's just the Mac equivalent of Ctrl. -Nixinova (talk|edits) 04:26, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Slippery

Terracotta-Blocks will be able to be moved by pistons while they are unaffected by slimeblocks.

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)
 Done I added the note. The BlobsPaper 01:16, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Trivia

This update already will have the longest delay between the first and second snapshots on record. 67.249.83.44 01:58, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

That is not really a good trivia. Also, please use "Add topic" to start discussions. The BlobsPaper 04:07, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

1.639 seconds?

Doesn't make any sense to me, that number. What I think makes sense would be 16 minutes and 39 seconds, which would be 999 seconds. Can somebody double-check that? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Iwer Sonsch (talkcontribs) at 9:41, 12 April 2017 (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

You're reading it wrong. 1,639. -BDJP (t|c) 10:13, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
Nope, I'm typing it wrong. One thousand and 639 seconds don't make any sense to me. Iwer Sonsch (talk) 10:20, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
The section was incorrect anyways as no such change was made, removed it. Skylinerw (talk) 10:21, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Small armor item behavior change

I found a change in the 1.12 snapshots that isn't yet listed on the page: you can now equip an armor item by pressing 'use' while holding it, as long as you're not already wearing something in that slot. Should this be added? Sab39 (talk) 14:41, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

That was added in 13w04a, see the last item in the Changes section of that page : ) – Sealbudsman talk/contr 15:03, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
Bah. I even tested in the current version before posting this, but I guess I must have done it wrong somehow - maybe I didn't realise I was already wearing something in the slot or something. Feel silly now. Sorry for wasting your time! Sab39 (talk) 15:47, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
Haha, not a waste at all but thanks. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 17:35, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Unconfirmed features

Is this section still needed? The 1.12 pre-releases are out, and those features have not been added yet. Maybe move them into 1.13?  Nixinova T  C  

Let's wait until 1.12 is actually released. If they are still not added, we should move then to the Mentioned Features page as had been done before. -PancakeMan77 (talk) 20:46, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
I just wanted to reaffirm my position on this. Yes, it is very unlikely they will be added. However, Dinnerbone said the current pre-release is nearly the same, not exactly. Yes, I do think it is unlikely, but we do not speculate. Unless we get a statement that says nothing will be changed or added from pre-7, we should keep them. Then we can go ahead and remove them once the update is officially released. -PancakeMan77 (talk) 21:40, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

1.12-pre4 and pre5 not appearing in the infobox

For some reason 1.12-pre4 not appearing in the infobox. Can someone please edit the template? — Nixinova (talkeditspages) 04:23, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Hm, when I click edit it shows up. Why is this? — Nixinova (talkeditspages) 04:31, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
Same is happening for 1.12-pre5 and 1.12/Development versions. — Nixinova (talkeditspages) 08:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
You need to edit the page and save without change. Media Wiki will update the page for evenyone and it appears   HorseHead MarkusRost (talk) 08:50, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Snapshot specific info in the final page.

There seems to be an edit war about to start between me and another user. To prevent this, I decided to create a topic in the talk page. I noticed there were many snapshot-specific notes left on this page. For example: Saying the recipe book had optimizations. Why include that? That was a note from a snapshot. It is was not in previous releases so it could not be optimized. Now, if there were optimizations in 1.12.1 or whatever the next version is, include it. Not in the case however. Outlining some specific points:

  • For advancement icons allowing data and such, why include only that? Either include all or none of the specific code bits.
  • Mentioning "Toast" notifications. This is a gray area. It has been used by developers, but I think the areas where it is used need to be edited to include it better. Maybe a section under general?
  • Mentioning that beds have the correct color on a map. In 1.11.2, there was no incorrect color. It is expected that in the final release, the correct colors are displayed. No need to mention it.

I think that's it for now. We need to clean up this page and remove unnecessary snapshot information -PancakeMan77 (talk) 20:57, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

 Makes sense I would support removing the mentioned information. The BlobsPaper 01:19, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 I agree There is no need for Optimisations to be included there – NixinovaGrid Book and Quill Grid Diamond Pickaxe Grid Map • 04:02, 23 May 2017 (UTC) I CAN USE BRITISH ENGLISH WHEN I WANT

Crafting

Please, add info about the new "automatic" crafting thing which shows recipes. I find it quite confusing; it doesn't show everything, the search is strange (when you eventually find it), and the categories are confusing.

With 1.12 due out on Friday, I'm suprised that this wiki doesn't seem to have any info about this quite radical change, which affects the appearance and actions for all players when they look in their inventory. 86.20.193.222 05:41, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Recipe bookNixinovaGrid Book and Quill Grid Diamond Pickaxe Grid Map • 05:48, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
There is a section on this page that talks about it, and there is the Recipe Book page as Nixinova said -PancakeMan77 (talk) 20:44, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Fix Upcoming

1.12 is now out, we need to fix all the {{upcoming}} tags. Use Category:Computer edition upcoming & Category:Computer edition upcoming tag. – NixinovaGrid Book and Quill Grid Diamond Pickaxe Grid Map • 04:28, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
