This template creates an infobox that is designed for blocks in Vintage Story. It has the subcategories {{Item/Fuel}} and {{Item/Smeltable}}.

|OutputName=Container name to be displayed (or its translation)

n.b. the translate tags "disappear" when put on a page that is properly marked for translation.

The translator will not see any code. He will only see 3 sentences to translate:
