Hello PMC, today I'd like to talk to you about a little pointless thing I've noticed on PMC. Do you know what the "Blocks" page is? Well, its a little page on PMC, right in between "Mods" and "Members". This page simply lists all the blocks in Minecraft (which still hasn't been updated to 1.3, I might add). It lists the name, their item id, and a small picture of them.

Now, this page used to be very helpful to me, and many others. However, since the introduction of "creative" mode it has been nearly useless. Without needing to know item id's to spawn items, that feature of it really doesn't help anymore. And with creative mode, you can see every item and its name right there in minecraft, so that isn't exactly great anymore.

So, why does the page still exist. I know I haven't used it in ages. Many PMC members on chat agreed with me it was useless. In fact, DancingWalrus, frequent PMC-vistor and chat moderator, admitted in chat he wasn't even aware it existed!

If the page were to be removed, it could either make the menu more roomy, and each button larger, or it could be replaced by a new page.

One page I think would be a great replacement would be an Art Page. Are you aware in the past week I recorded 8 blogs on the popular reel being art? And this would be great for those PMC-ers that get yelled at because some people say "This is PMC, not an art show myeh". Personally, I think an art page would be wonderful.

If you agree feel free to say so in the comments, or you could say an idea for a page you feel PMC truly needs.

Even with creative, the menu won't display all blocks and items. Like Block #9. Non-moving water. It even doesn't show up in TooManyItems!

I just hope you can still go to planetminecraft.com/blocks to view them.

i thought a groups page would be cool. The only way to get your group on the groups page is to register your group. Then you get special stuff like emblems for your group and a special link to a page all about your group. the page would then help you to do any group related stuff and if your group is big enough you get special access to real prizes for contests that you hold and stuff like that. Groups are a big thing in PMC and i think it should be done. Also to register a group the group has to fallow a certain set of guidelines so every group does not get registered.

It is gone, they replaced it with a proper "Chat" section since it was getting so much traffic.

BTW, No Problem
