Talk:Cake

In Bedrock Edition barring Windows 10 Edition, the 3 buckets used for crafting the cake is put back into the player's when cake is crafted, and not left in the interface unless their inventory is full. Should that be noted to be different from Java edition? XirohpueLynx (talk) 08:19, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

This sounds like it would go on Talk:Crafting, since the feature should also apply to Honey Blocks. --Simanelix ^(T|C) 02:08, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

I understand that the in-game name for the block is "Cake with Candle", but you can not obtain Cake with Candle in item form, so you'll never actually see its name. And I just don't like how "Candle" is missing its indefinite article ("a"). It just bugs me so greatly. I'm proposing to change semantics across the page and only leave "Cake with Candle" in the Data and History sections. And we could have a clarification, in the intro, like this:

A cake with a candle is a light-producing variant created when a candle is placed on an uneaten cake. The cake with a candle is called Cake with Candle in the game's code.

Maybe that's a bit long-winded for the intro, but it could also be put in the § Cakes with candles section. Yeah, now that I think of it, that's a better idea. So it would look like this:

Using a candle on an uneaten cake creates a cake with a candle of that color (including uncolored). Eating any of the cake causes the candle to drop.

Using flint and steel, fire charge, or any flaming projectile on an unlit cake with a candle lights its candle. Lit cakes with candles emit a light level of 3. Interacting with the lit candle (but not the cake) extinguishes it.

The cake with a candle is called Cake with Candle in the game's code.

Anyways, I prefer including the article, but I'm unsure whether that's a good idea considering that we're supposed to use in-game names on this wiki. You know, I'm really asking if Cake with Candle should be an exception to the rule just because it's item form is unobtainable and it's just a variant of the cake. Is this a dumb question to ask? Am I just wasting time asking it? I hope not. --Simanelix ^(T|C) 02:27, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

This is just pointless clarification. It's called "Cake with Candle" in-game, following the same naming scheme as "Boat with Chest" and "Minecart with Furnace" etc, so we should stick with the in-game names without trying to "correct" them and add pedantic notes.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 03:06, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

Ah. Boat with Chest bothers me too. But yeah, I guess we can drop the article if the game does. --Simanelix ^(T|C) 03:12, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
