Editing Template talk:Version history nav

== Name ==

I believe the name should be changed to Editions of [[Minecraft]], as the template has more than just the versions of the game, such as exclusive features to Editions, mentioned features, Easter eggs and more. <small>–Preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Wolffillms|Wolffillms]] ([[User talk:Wolffillms|talk]] • [[Special:Contribs/Wolffillms|contribs]]) at 18:41, 28 July 2015 (UTC).

:Why? We already have a template for the Pocket Edition and the Console Edition to describe that stuff, adding it here as well is redundant. Meanwhile, the version history articles were all in a large related section on {{t|minecraft}} (and was the previous function of this template), so it made sense to split them out here. <span class=nowrap>–'''[[User:KnightMiner|<span style=color:#408>KnightMiner</span>]]''' <sup>[[User talk:KnightMiner|t]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/KnightMiner|c]]</sub> 20:29, 28 July 2015 (UTC)</span>

== Adding Major updates section ==

I think we should have the major updates thing for named updates in the template like we did about 2 years ago, it looked pretty cool. Pocket Edition could have the Survival Update branch in it. --[[User:MarioProtIV|MarioProtIV]] ([[User talk:MarioProtIV|talk]]) 20:32, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

:It was [[Special:Diff/691382|moved]] from {{t|Minecraft}} to {{t|Computer versions}} and {{t|Pocket Edition versions}} by {{ping|Goandgoo}}. Adding it back would simply be redundant to those two version navboxes (where it belongs) and not fit the theme of this template (which is the version history hub articles). <span class=nowrap>–'''[[User:KnightMiner|<span style=color:#408>KnightMiner</span>]]''' <sup>[[User talk:KnightMiner|t]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/KnightMiner|c]]</sub> 22:30, 28 July 2015 (UTC)</span>

== Changing PE exclusive features sprite ==

This is just my opinion but here are a few suggestions for a new sprite for the PE exclusive features:

* {{BlockSprite|nether-reactor-core}} Nether Reactor Core (current)
* {{EnvSprite|huge-mushrooms}} Huge mushrooms - shows the exclusive height feature of the huge mushrooms
* {{EnvSprite|snowfall}} Snowfall - shows the exclusive feature of snowfall building up on the ground.
* {{EnvSprite|abandoned-mine-shaft}} Mineshafts - shows the exclusive feature of mineshaft generating on the surface of mesa biomes.
* {{EnvSprite|far-lands}} Far Lands

Thanks. --[[User:MarioProtIV|MarioProtIV]] ([[User talk:MarioProtIV|talk]]) 00:50, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

:Of these, the Nether Reactor Core is the only feature that is PE-exclusive in and of itself; the other suggestions all require familiarity with the feature in question in PE and in other editions to understand why that sprite is being used. <span class="nowrap">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f">ディノ</span><span style="color:#080">奴</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90">千？！</span>]]」<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 01:24, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

== Soon change sprite ==
The sprite for the console edition exclusive features page, [[File:Dragon Fireball.png|17px]] needs to be changed because 1.9 is adding Ender Acid Charges. A few ideas:
#{{AchievementSprite|zombie-doctor|scale=0.2}} Zombie Doctor Achievment Icon (Exclusive achievement. [Could be any other exclusive achievement icon.])
#{{ItemLink|Map|link=none}} (Beginning worlds with a map.)
#{{ItemLink|Cake|link=none}} (Stackable to 64.)
#{{ItemLink|Glowstone Dust|link=none}} (Blazes drop 0-2.)
#{{ItemLink|Horse Spawn Egg}} (Donkey/Mule Spawn Eggs.)
That's all I could think of, if none are acceptable, still please change it. -|Pika Party|- [[Special:Contributions/98.216.47.99|98.216.47.99]] 17:34, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

:Actually, 1.9 has no ender acid fire charges. It has ender acid as particles, and fire charges like ghasts use, but that purple texture does not exist in game. <span class=nowrap>–'''[[User:KnightMiner|<span style=color:#408>KnightMiner</span>]]''' <sup>[[User talk:KnightMiner|t]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/KnightMiner|c]]</sub> 21:39, 22 September 2015 (UTC)</span>

::Unless I'm misunderstanding as well (having not played Console Edition), that texture '''does''' appear in the latest 1.9 snapshot for PC: {{cmd|summon DragonFireball ~ ~1 ~ {direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0]}}} [[User:Skylinerw|Skylinerw]] ([[User talk:Skylinerw|talk]]) 17:02, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

:::I did not notice that... They must have changed it since the time I last checked, likely at the same time they made dragon fireballs not able to be deflected by a punch. <span class=nowrap>–'''[[User:KnightMiner|<span style=color:#408>KnightMiner</span>]]''' <sup>[[User talk:KnightMiner|t]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/KnightMiner|c]]</sub> 17:04, 26 September 2015 (UTC)</span>

:On the topic of which icon to use, most of the icons you linked are something that also exist in the computer edition, which would become confusing as an icon does not state an aspect. The remaining one is the achievement icon(s), which look terrible at 18 pixels.
:The best option I can think of would be someone uploading the donkey or mule spawn egg icon and using that (assuming it is different), or using the horse spawn egg if they are the same (but the texture should be pulled from a sprite sheet rather than using a grid image). <span class=nowrap>–'''[[User:KnightMiner|<span style=color:#408>KnightMiner</span>]]''' <sup>[[User talk:KnightMiner|t]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/KnightMiner|c]]</sub> 17:04, 26 September 2015 (UTC)</span>

:::Hmm... so I wasn't misunderstanding... well, I have no more ideas, so if you guys think of something please write it here. -|Pika Party|- [[Special:Contributions/98.216.47.99|98.216.47.99]] 17:32, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
