Talk:Mob variant

Why is this page marked for deletion?

I think it can become a useful content page, we just need to expand it and fix the spelling mistakes GoldJackal (talk) 08:09, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

I made a more comprehensive verstion of this article on my sandbox. You can view it here. --Mjmannella (talk) 18:48, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Looks like a clear improvement to me, you can just copy the contents of your sandbox onto the real page if you want Mudscape talk 19:12, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Went ahead and did that. Though i just realised that I forgot a table for axolotls. Adding those would be grand. Mjmannella (talk) 13:27, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

I think the page was marked for deletion because it was already deleted once for notability reasons. There is an argument that a full page isn't needed, maybe just a section on mob since all mob variants share the same entity ID, they just have a different value for a particular data tag. I suppose it could be a stand-alone article depending on how it's developed. I think it needs to be more than a table of images. Maybe list the different data tags that determine variants, info about biome dependency, differences in behavior of different variants. I could also see this page being turned into an index page with mostly just entity links and a short description saying whether each mob's variants are purely cosmetic or have behavioral differences.

Where was the previous deletion discussion? I presume it was before the cow/chicken/pig variants. I agree the page can be further improved, but its useful as is, and making mob even longer seems like a bad idea to me. Mudscape talk 19:39, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

I changed the {{delete}} template to the {{delete when}} template to avoid any possible edit conflicts that may happen. The page can be completely fixed without being deleted. Also I would at least like to have the template going across instead of down. 245e (talk) 19:51, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Adjustment to Climate-Based Variants

I think it would be more effective having the order of climate-based variants be cold/temperate/warm. Not only does this follow alphabetical order, but it also creates a visual gradient between hot and cold. Mjmannella (talk) 20:13, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
