"Blocks" title

Can we get the title [[Blocks]] (a redirect, or recently a disambig) changed to [[Block]]s (original page)? – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 00:18, 25 April 2017 (UTC) Also same idea with {{Items}} please. – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 00:20, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

All of Gamepedia has been greatly malfunctioning in the last few days. The proper people have been notified and will hopefully fix it soon.-- Madminecrafter12^{T • C} 18:50, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Ugh, the same thing is happening to me now on the iron ingot page and it's so annoying. I hope they fix it soon.-- Madminecrafter12^{T • C} 18:53, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

It's fixed now!-- Madminecrafter12^{T • C} 13:28, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

To spin off on a tangent, I think {{BlockLink}} (and the other *Link templates) really needs a multiple-sprite output option of some sort; frankly, the current method of nesting calls to them is just a hack that happens to work. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 18:58, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Inconsistent names

There's inconsistent names "Punch-sensitive TNT" and "Punch-to-detonate TNT". Could any admins fix it to make it consistent? HaydenKenMutthew Talk 14:21, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

HaydenBobMutthew - the actual content of this template is stored at Template:Blocks/content, which is editable my non-admins. So if you want to change the names for consistency, feel free to edit that page.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 14:22, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Well, it looks like MinecraftPhotos4U has already done that now. :)-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 14:24, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Madminecrafter12 No, it's seems to be me. HaydenKenMutthew Talk 14:27, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Dead Coral Fans

Could someone add the Dead Coral Fans after the Fans in the parenthesis and label them as "Dead Fan". Since they are the dead variant of Fans, they deserve to be with the rest of the Corals. 101blazertrail (talk) 17:54, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

I've tweaked quite a few things involving the organization of coral in my last edit to Template:Blocks/content, including satisfying your request, I think. Hopefully it looks cleaner and makes more sense now.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 22:43, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, it does. 101blazertrail (talk) 19:52, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

New template layout

I've made a new version of the template based on other ones that have many elements. It can use a |1= parameter to define which category is opened while the others are collapsed, making it visually cleaner. It's on my sandbox. What do you think of it? Supeika (talk) 22:23, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

I think it's way better than the current one. xrup (Talk) 1:11, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

 Strong support The current template is a mess - it's unintuitive and hard to read. It's basically useless for navigation, which should be its main purpose.--Capopanzo (talk) 21:51, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

 Comment Worth mentioning the template originally used loadbox to reduce page load times as this template is quite huge (including a lot of sprite usages). I am not sure the exact impact, but before removing loadbox it should be considered if this will impact page load times. It is possibly less of an issue since sprites were switched to a module, but still worth checking into. KnightMiner ^(t/c) 05:16, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

I had to remove Loadbox because the parameters didn't work using loadbox. I tried to continue using it, but it had broken usages, that's why I removed it. Supeika (talk) 19:19, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

I was not asking why you did it. I was suggesting making sure it does not cause a problem to do so. KnightMiner ^(t/c) 01:39, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Better link to the "Empty Barrel" block

Underneath the "Unimplemented" section lies the Emtpy Barrel block. Clicking it leads to the gallery for the barrel, implying there should be an image for it there. But...there isn't. However this would probably work a lot better. (incidentally this would also work better for the fish barrel) – Unsigned comment added by 69.132.70.77 (talk) at 23:48 24 Jun 2021 (UTC).

You can edit freely the template, and I support the idea, or we could also add the images to the Barrel article too. Both ideas would work. Supeika (talk) 23:52, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Guests can't edit the template pages, which is why I added this to the talk page. 69.132.70.77 01:08, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

I updated the links on the template. Supeika (talk) 01:37, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Gilded Blackstone and Reinforced Deepslate Are Not Natural

For some reason gilded blackstone and reinforced deepslate are in the 'natural' category even though they're man-made. Gilded blackstone is not an ore, it is gilded by piglins (source:https://twitter.com/kingbdogz/status/1250467303134826497). Reinforced deepslate is most likely reinforced by whoever was part of the old civilisation; it is clearly part of a constructed portal. They should both be put into the 'building' category. Batbrain1998 (talk) 14:24, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

 Comment: I think it was done for make searchability more accessible, and to not mislead the player, since most (if not all) building blocks can be crafted from other blocks and items, but gilded blackstone and reinforced deepslate can only be found on the world. Though this is just my opinion, someone else can think differently. Supeika (talk) 14:48, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

 Comment: In looking at the table, I also noticed that raw gold and copper, as well as amethyst blocks are in the building category, and those definitely seem like they should be in the natural category since they are mined. I think we should probably move those regardless. I did notice, though, that items in the building table are blocks that generally need to be crafted, as Supeika also just mentioned. In that view, I think that might be the reason reinforced deepslate and gilded blackstone are where they are - there is no way to craft them. I'm the one that put reinforced deepslate there, and that was my reasoning at the time. Curious if anyone else knows the rules around this. - AD OffKilter (talk) 14:56, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

 Comment: I just realized that blocks of raw copper, gold, and iron, as well as blocks of amethyst are all craftable. So I think everything is where it should be. - AD OffKilter (talk) 01:59, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Fletching table in the wrong section

I see that the fletching table is in the same section, Utilisable, as the smithing table, which I can understand, but it is in the wrong one nevertheless.

Creative inventory classifications

Now (well, it's now been the better part of a year) that the creative inventory has had a massive overhaul, getting rid of the "Miscellaneous" wastebasket and having it actually make intuitive sense, is it time we actually start replacing some if not all of the categories we had to come up for convenience over the years with the ones in the game, including this template? I feel like it would be more intuitive since you'd just have to remember the in-game knowledge instead of knowing two separate pieces of knowledge, and how stripped wood is in the concocted "Biota" category instead of "Building" for instance, it'd be convenient and help consolidate muscle memory.

If need be, we can keep some of our own unofficial categories, just having the in-game categories as a baseline. I feel like at least blocks and item templates should have "Category:" in their pages for instance.

Before anyone asks: "Aren't some blocks in multiple categories", my answer is: "Yes, and how's that an issue?", you can do what you did in the Creative Inventory page and add an asterisk.

Also, I'm suggesting we use the Java Creative Inventory as a baseline, since it's more comprehensive, but if need be, we can also have a Bedrock category template, but I don't see it as necessary, since it'd just be duplicate information.

Pescavelho (talk) 13:54, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

I have redesigned Template:Blocks in a way that "feels like Creative", while not fully favoring Java over Bedrock. I reconfigured the "Building", "Natural", and "Biota" tabs to somewhat mimic the new Building, Colored, and Natural Blocks tab. Building Blocks tab would be renamed to "Structural", since it also includes all blocks that can be crafted into stairs, slabs, or walls/fences, plus related naturally generated stone blocks and crafted mineral blocks. "Ornamental" is a hybrid of the new colored blocks tab and the old decoration blocks tab. It is akin to Template:Items where "tools/weapons/armor" and "utilities" are used as tabs instead of "tools" and "combat". The tab contains most of the dyed blocks and additional partial/decorative blocks from the building blocks tab (to fit the scope of articles of the wiki). It is also to use a more "neutral" approach that does not favor Java over Bedrock (blocks only appear in 1 tab, as they still do on Bedrock and to avoid bloating the navbox size). Finally the "Natural" tab is simply the original "Biota" tab, with remaining natural blocks that did not fit into either the structural or ornamental tabs, moved into the tab.

Backwards compatibility is still kept. All old aliases for template arguments still work, and the utilities tab is mostly unchanged. So it is still able to go back to the old revision (aside from keeping the "decoration" alias for "building".

The redesigned navbox can be found here.

Navbox data collection has started, but a full split will not take place until several months of data are collected to allow future steps to be made with measured data. This is more of a minor interim improvement that avoids making major, drastic changes until we have the necessary data collected for more major, drastic changes.

Infested blocks

The infested blocks are in the natural blocks category, some infested blocks are not blocks that you will find without structures, ex: Infested Stone Bricks. Does anyone think it should be put in a different category? 245e (talk) 15:25, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Sculk is not necessarily a living organism but it is listed in Biota

I think sculk should be moved, either into its own section (named "Sculk"), a new section (named "Mysterious substances"), the "natural blocks" section, or the "utility" section, right below "redstone". My reason for this is that the developers have never called sculk a living organism, and considering how it grows in ancient cities, it might be a highly engineered substance that it animated by redstone or whatever similar energy makes redstone work. --Simanelix ^(T|C) 00:09, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
