Try to use infoboxes wherever possible. See [[:Category:Infoboxes]] for a list of all infoboxes. Also, try to use [[:Category:ControlsTemplates]] when describing the actual controls of the game, for example: '{{Using}} a chisel...' not 'Using (right mouse button) a chisel...'. | Try to use infoboxes wherever possible.

==== Icons and images ==== | |||
To generate images run the command <code>.blockitempngexport 400</code> which outputs images 400px by 400px. | |||
When uploading icons for blocks, entities, and items, leave the name of the image as is, except remove any direction related words from the filename. This helps maintain a consistent naming pattern for all blocks, entities, and items. | |||
For example, <code>shelf-normal-east.png</code> should be changed to <code>shelf.png</code>, but <code>rockpolished-andesite.png</code> should '''NOT''' be changed to <code>polished-andesite.png</code>. | |||
