Papyrus it shall be
Bamboo or Papyrus? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo vs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus We have to decide what it is... --Nunuru 16:52, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- Lets call it papyrussy bamboo,It looks bamboo enough but the paper is made outta it so yeah a hybrid between papyrus and bamboo(BTW papyrus would be more correct as the appearance doesnt matter,uses does)--Vibhor 17:00, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- It's obviously papyrus, it's just that it's hard to make the plant actually look like papyrus in such a low resolution. Bamboo does not make practical paper. --Coldonthecob 17:11, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- They are Reeds. It grows near water for one and can be made into paper. Onemanhorde 17:14, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- Which type of reed would they be?Or you could just link the wiki page since from what I saw the wiki didnt had the words reed and paper along eachother--Vibhor 17:21, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [[1]]: * Paper reed or papyrus (Cyperus papyrus), the source of the Ancient Egyptian writing material, also used for making boats
- So you're agreeing it's papyrus then?
- It papyrus. How is this even possible to question? Onemanhorde 17:57, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Let's just call it aspergagus until Notch gives it a name. --Coldonthecob 17:42, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- Ehhhhhh.... NO. Papyrus seems more fitting to me. Not only does it (kinda) look like it, but it fits the purpose of making paper. --Coolpilot 17:55, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

So yeah, bamboo
Honestly, if you people can give me a logical, understandable reason why this isn't bamboo, I'd be surprised. It grows hella tall, its got rings, and it doesn't look like papyrus. Notch is a good enough pixel artist that if he wanted to make papyrus, he'd make something more along the lines of the wheat, and I doubt it would end up growing 3 squares up either, which is more of a bamboo thing than a papyrus thing. Plus the damn stuff grows like wildfire if you get it at a good spot
I'm voting it should stay on Bamboo for the simple reason that you'd be blind to mistake those graphics for anything else Mecheon 06:00, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
- Nuff of this stupedity,I mean come on.Bamboo doesnt require water near it to grow and bamboo doesnt even grows near water usually,Bamboo doesnt make paper and papyrus can also grow 3-5 meters so it doesnt matter how it looks.Its just like redstone.I vote for papyrussy bamboo
- I vote you use your bloody date sign thing. And yeah, bamboo does need water. Its a plant, they kinda need water, y'know? And I reiterate my point about Notch knowing what he's doing. If he wanted papyrus, he would have made papyrus. But he clearly made bamboo because that's what it looks like and grows upwards like. The only "stupidity" is that you've apparently gone blind and cannot recognise common plants based on one simply function it accomplishes Mecheon 08:31, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
- He was likely referring to the fact that bamboo does not grow next to lake/river beds, but much farther away.— Dædαlus Contribs 08:43, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
