Talk: Technical blocks

Page Removement

I think this page should be deleted and 2 more pages should be created. Block 34 should be renamed Arm and put next to Sticky Piston. I don't know what Block 36 should be renamed to, but it should be put next to Arm. I'm not demanding, but I think this would be better. Piber20 13:25, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

I wanted to make them separated, but there is just so little to say about them individually, so I combined them.--Yurisho 14:18, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Reinforced Wood?

I tried using this machine and depending on which piston you put in, a glitch block comes out. Add please? Tehninjah 10:46, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Problem is I don't know what is that, I guess it's block 34, but I cant be sure.--Yurisho 10:37, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Might be a piston extension with no bit set for direction, so it thinks it's all directions? Tehninjah 10:46, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

that's what I think as well.--Yurisho 10:49, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Here is a way to see if it's block 34 that I though of:

in the run command prompt write %appdata%
from there follow this path: /.minecraft/bin
open the minecraft.jar file useing zip-7, winzip, winrar or what ever program like this you have.
locate the terrain.png file and open it using a photo editor with alpha capabilities(Paint.NET, photoshop, but not MC paint).
backup the terrain.png file.
make the textures at row:11-12, col:7 transparent(the piston pushing part).
save and run the game.
activate you'r machine.
if you see 3 piston extension arms one inside the other where the glitch block should be - it's block 34.
at any case upload the photo of the result.--Yurisho 10:49, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Nope, just an invisible, blank block. Tehninjah 11:01, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

did you have OpenGL turned off?--Yurisho 11:46, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, and it being on or off makes no difference. Or fast/fancy. Tehninjah 11:50, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Then as long as the piston extension arm's texture is not derived from the texture you made transparent, then the glitched block is not block 34, and thus has no place in this page.--Yurisho 11:56, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
