This annoys me a lot so I finally made a thread. The following changes I suggest does fit on a sign. Anything that says Pine > Spruce Darkoak Sapling > Dark Oak Sapling Long Grass > Grass Snow Cap > Snow Layer (It just seems more right) Pork > Raw Pork Cooked Beef > Steak Mushroom Soup > Mushroom Stew Gold Apple:1 > Notch Apple Smooth Sandston > Smooth Sandstone Creeper Sandsto > Etched Sandstone (Chiseled doesn't fit, etched is a good synonym) Nether Brick Stairs > Nether Stairs Nethbrick Slab > Nether Slab Circle Stone > Chiseled Stone (Or Etched Stone if you want to keep the word etch) Skull Item > Skeleton Skull Rails > Rail (To fit the theme with the other rails) Trap Door > Wooden Trapdoor (I haven't /iteminfo'd Iron Trapdoor yet) Hard Clay > Hardened Clay Daylight Detector > Daylight Sensor Tnt > TNT Iron Bucket > Bucket Milk Bucket > Milk (Or was this to ease confusion?) Snow Ball > Snowball Slime Ball > Slimeball Clay Brick > Brick (We already have Brick Block to differentiate) Stonebrick Slab > Stone Brick Slab Blue Dye > Lapis Lazuli Black Dye > Ink Sac I probably missed a few.
I like most of them, except for these: Long Grass > Grass Gold Apple:1 > Notch Apple Creeper Sandsto > Etched Sandstone (Chiseled doesn't fit, etched is a good synonym) Circle Stone > Chiseled Stone Daylight Detector > Daylight Sensor Milk Bucket > Milk Snow Ball > Snowball Slime Ball > Slimeball +0.5
I agree with PenguinDJ on most of these.. I'm pretty sure "Grass" is already a block Not everyone refers to Gold Apple:1 as a Notch Apple, and could confuse some people. Sounds like a different block, don't see why it's so bad. Circle Stone is exactly what it is (it makes circles in default). It is a detector, so no idea as to why it needs to be change. The milk is in a bucket, I prefer the first. No objections, but seems trivial IMO. I've never heard of a Slimeball, and that may confuse others to think it is something it is not. EDIT: I learned there was an achievement menu.
You are right on that. The shop system named Grass Block as Grass. I will add that to the list. Basically: Grass > Grass Block Long Grass > Grass The :1 is what annoys me. I named it Notch Apple because Minecraft calls it that in the Achievement menu. I just chose something that actually fits on the line. Well, squares. Besides, there is: Moss Stone, Cracked Stone, it only makes sense that there is Chiseled Stone. The name of the block IS Chiseled Stone Bricks. The name of the block is Daylight Sensor. I'll give you that. I was basing it off of Minecraft's name. It is the name Minecraft gave it It is the name Minecraft gave it
Mushroom Stew... It seems so much more logical... *Looks at profile pic, doesnt know if it is mushroom or not....*
I will look into it but the reality is that any change to those names has the great potential of breaking current shop signs. So, it may not be worth updating if it is going to make player shops break.
We can (and in some cases where it makes sense have) add a secondary name so that two names map to same id but that leads to confusion down the road when, for example, some players have pine and some spruce for sale. So, we will look into making the list 'prettier' but are going to avoid any impacts on player shops.
