Incorrect Trivia
The Elytra were added in snapshot 15w41a on October 7th, 2015, and in full release in 1.9 “Combat Update” on February 29th, 2016. Magma Blocks were added in snapshot 16w20a on May 18th, 2016, and in full release in 1.10 “Frostburn Update” on June 8th, 2016. Wouldn’t this make the trivia about the elytra being the most recent Minecraft addition represented in Steve’s moveset incorrect? DeadHeat16 (talk) 19:39, May 14, 2021 (EDT)
- The elytra did come out before the magma blocks. However the trivia point is about the mechanic of flying with fireworks, which was added in 1.11.1 (snapshot 16w50a) which was released on December 20th, 2016. --CanvasK (talk) 20:00, May 14, 2021 (EDT)
- Oh, must have missed that. In that case yeah it’s fine then. Whoops. DeadHeat16 (talk) 20:23, May 14, 2021 (EDT)
Triple jump glitch
So that I don't risk an edit war, I'll talk about my edit here. Currently the glitch is described as giving Steve a third jump. However, it has been shown and even mentioned later in the section that he gets all of his jumps back, not a +1 to jump. I find it misleading and confusing that it is described as giving a third jump but then said to restore all jumps. I think it would be best to, at the very least, reword the first sentence to say he regains his jumps instead of gaining a jump.
Another reason my edit was undone was because I changed the name. Apparently the community calls it by "triple jump glitch". If that is the case, so be it, I won't fight it.
Lastly I think it is still worth mentioning Additional Midair Jump spirits as it further emphasizes that it fully restores jumps (up to 5 with Adventure Skills). --CanvasK (talk) 09:44, May 16, 2021 (EDT)
