Template:Infobox block/doc

This template provides a uniform design for block pages.

<onlyinclude>{{ {{{1|Block}}}
|title=
|image=
|image2=
|image3=
|invimage=
|invimage2=
|invimage3=
|invimage4=
|type=
|gravity=
|dirt=
|transparent=
|light=
|tntres=
|tool=
|stackable=
|data=
|fluidspeed=
|movespeed=
|firstvir=
}}</onlyinclude>

Please note the unusual markup at the beginning and end; copy it verbatim if you are creating a new block page. Also note that if the item has multiple data values, use |multipledata= instead of |data=. See below:

Parameter	Function	Default value
title	Only needed to change the title from the page name	{{BASEPAGENAME}}
image	Image of the block (should be approx. 150x150px)	{{BASEPAGENAME}}.png if it exists, otherwise No block image.png (linking to the page where to opload the missing image)
image2	Second image for two-state blocks (also approx. 150x150px)	None
image3	Third image for three-state blocks (also approx. 150x150px)	None
invimage	Image for object in inventory. Can use None to force no invimage. Uses styling and images from Template:Grid/Available images	Grid {{BASEPAGENAME}}.png if it exists, otherwise None
invimage2	Second image for two-state objects in inventory. Uses styling and images from Template:Grid/Available images	None
invimage3	Third image for three-state objects in inventory. Uses styling and images from Template:Grid/Available images	None
invimage4	Fourth image for four-state objects in inventory. Uses styling and images from Template:Grid/Available images	None
type	Type (solid block, solid, block, or fluid)	?
gravity	Affected by gravity?	?
dirt	Requires sunlight/dirt?	None
transparent	Can you see through some part of this block? Not as obvious as it seems, see Opacity.	?
light	Emits Light? If "Yes," add the light value like this: "Yes, 9"	?
tntres	Block's resistance to explosions. The value comes from the code; there aren't any units for it.	?
tool	Tool to use	?
stackable	Stackable	N/A
data	Single decimal data value	None
multipledata	Multiple decimal data values, use {{dv}}	None
fluidspeed	Speed of fluid movement	None
movespeed	Speed of walking through	None
firstver	First version that it was seen in (eg. Alpha 1.0.17, classic 0.0.23a).	None

Transcluding block pages

The unusual header <onlyinclude>{{ {{{1|Block}}} and footer are there so that block pages can be transcluded (used like templates) into other pages. Specifically, this allows the use of {{Safe get}} to get specific data fields out of the infobox header in the block page. Here's some examples:

Code	Result
{{Safe get|Cobblestone|tntres}}	Template:Safe get
{{Safe get|Cobblestone|tool}}	Template:Safe get
[[File:{{Safe get|Cobblestone|image}}]]	[[File:Template:Safe get]]
{{Safe get|Cobblestone|non-existing field}}	Template:Safe get
{{Safe get|Main Page|tntres}}	Template:Safe get

Although transcluding non-template pages is somewhat unusual, doing it this way allows all the data properties for a block to be defined in the infobox header, next to each other, and right where most people will think to look for them. At the same time, it allows us to make tables of values for things like Blast Resistance and Hardness that auto-update whenever the main values are changed.

See {{Blast Resistance Table}} for a simple example of how to use this functionality to automatically build tables.
