The following is the standardization for this wiki on the use of the "type" attribute for the following templates: Template:Mob Template:Item Template:Block

For templates not listed here, please check a different thread.

Explanatory Listing

For Items:

• Materials
  • Used for items that serve no other purpose but to go into other items/blocks
• Tools
  • Used for items that serve to break other blocks, such as pickaxes, shovels, axes, and hoes.
• Weapons
  • Used for offensive uses
• Shields
  • Used for defensive uses (If there are items that offer protection that are not shields nor armor pieces, this might need to change)
• Armor
  • Used for items that offer any protection via the "armor bar"
• Guns
  • Used for a small sub-set of items that are weapons but are specifically gun types (Such as Revolver and Hunter's Handgun)
• Ammunition
  • Ammo items used with "Guns" and "Bows"
• Potions
  • Items that are consumables with effects (this includes Elixir items)
• Consumables
  • Items that generally restore the hunger bar to some extent
• Containers
  • Items that are designed to hold other items/blocks, such as the Backpacks.
• Utility
  • Items that are not for show, such as the Emporer's Chalice, that are not a tool either.
• WIPs
  • Items that are incomplete and in most cases cannot be obtained via crafted or as loot and must be given to the player through non-legitimate means (NEI, /give)

For Blocks:

• Building Materials
  • Used for blocks that seemingly serve no other purpose but for building, they tend to offer a blast resistance of 30 or higher (like cobblestone)
• Decorative
  • Used for blocks that seemingly serve no other purpose but for decoration, usually having a very low blast resistance (generally less than 30, such as glass)
• Plants
  • Undefined
• Materials
  • Used for blocks that, while can be placed, are primarily used to go into other blocks/items
• Light Sources
  • Used for blocks that can give off light
• Containers
  • Blocks (such as Chests) thats only purpose is to hold other items
• Utility
  • Blocks similar to the Jasper Block.
• Technical
  • Blocks that are used for technical reasons only, such as the "Piston Head" block when it is extended but cannot be obtained legitimately
• WIPs
  • Blocks that are incomplete and in most cases cannot be obtained via crafted or as loot and must be given to the player through non-legitimate means (NEI, /give)

For Mobs:

• Hostile
  • Used for mobs that attempt to attack automatically.
• Neutral
  • Used for mobs that will retaliate after being attacked
• Passive
  • Used for mobs that will just run away after being attacked
• Bosses
  • Used for mobs that are considered boss mobs (They have a health bar at top of screen but are not a part of the Infernal Mobs mod.)
• Summoned
  • Mobs that can only be summoned, but are not minions of bosses. Similar to how the Liche is summoned from an item
• Minions
  • Mobs that solely rely on another mob spawning them, a poor example being the Mummys spawned by the Pharaoh.
• Utility
  • Mobs that seem to only serve a utility purpose, such as the Quest Ram.
• WIPs
  • Mobs that are incomplete and in most cases cannot be seen without the use of non-legitimate means (NEI, /give) via spawning them in or via spawn egg/item
