  • Are you just copying the minecraft wiki for some reason? I don't see the point of creating or uploading vanilla pages/blocks --TheGuy 07:44, 18 December 2011 (MST)
    • I agree, I don't really see the point either. Thekyz 12:50, 18 December 2011 (MST)
    • While I don't see much point in uploading vMC items that doesn't have anything to do with BtW having functioning crafting grid template would be great. --Ferrus.Manus 13:43, 18 December 2011 (MST)
    • I had to stop and sleep before I edit out the vanilla blocks not used by BTW. --PatrickSJ 16:06, 18 December 2011 (MST)
      • It looks good --TheGuy 16:09, 18 December 2011 (MST)
        • Are you getting the parser function errors? Trying to get it fixed. Some extensions were missing. I'll take a look in a bit. --PatrickSJ 16:13, 18 December 2011 (MST)
        • The grid is working. The images for BTW blocks/items and the vanilla blocks/items used need to be added to Template:Grid/Available_images so that the grid can display them. I need to stop for now, but I'll back to it later. --PatrickSJ 16:29, 18 December 2011 (MST)

Wiki Template Updates

In order to make the templates more flexible the following changes are being considered/done.

  • Add vanilla block images to Template:Grid/Available_images
  • Add vanilla item images to Template:Grid/Available_images>
  • Add BTW block images to Template:Grid/Available_images
  • Add BTW item images to Template:Grid/Available_images
  • Create Template:Grid/Anvil. Should be simple. Just replace output arrow to have Anvil icon included.
  • Create Template:Grid/Cauldron. Perhaps best to keep this to a 3x3 image and replace the output arrow with a flame icon. I know of no cauldron recipe that uses more than 9 ingredients despite it having 27 slots.
    • Possible images. Thoughts? Also, we could jsut swap the arrow for just the fire image. PatrickSJ 07:06, 21 December 2011 (MST)
    • Regular Fire Grid Example Layout Cauldron.png Grid Example Layout Crucible.png
    • Stoked Alternative Grid Example Layout Anvil.png Grid Example Layout Cauldron Stoked copy.png
    • Why not this one ? Grid Example Layout Cauldron Stoked idea.png Thekyz 07:27, 21 December 2011 (MST)
      • How about this? Grid Example Layout Cauldronstoke.png --TheGuy 07:33, 21 December 2011 (MST)
        • I like this one ^^ Thekyz 07:44, 21 December 2011 (MST)
      • Or possibly keep it 32x32 Stokedunstokedexample.png --TheGuy 07:47, 21 December 2011 (MST)
        • People may think it's unfired don't you ? Thekyz 07:48, 21 December 2011 (MST)
          • Not personally. Common sense tells you that a cauldron or crucible would require heat. I guess there could be people that think it doesn't. I just think making it 32x64 seems clunky. --TheGuy 07:51, 21 December 2011 (MST)
            • Fair enough. Thekyz 09:10, 21 December 2011 (MST)
  • Possibly create Template:Grid/Hopper, Template:Grid/Block Dispenser, Template:Grid/Saw. Technically these blocks can craft new blocks, but they don't use a crafting grid. The community needs to think about whether it is worth it and how to visually represent the various crafting options using these blocks.
  • Possibly create Template:Blocks & Template:Items to display a grid of BTW blocks/items. This is similar to listing on the main page, but more compact and can be transcluded on all item/block pages.
