Some ids are unintuitive

Some ids are unintuitive, they either don’t follow the usual pattern, or they are just plain up confusing.

The list is too big for the ticket, so it's located in this wiki page: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Official_pages/Java_Edition_unintuitive_ID_list note to devs: it'd be helpful if you leave comments (either here or on the wiki talk page) about the ones that will remain, and (optionally) a reason.
The list includes:

  • Block Tags

  • Item Tags

  • Blocks

  • Items

  • Recipes

  • Advancements

  • Entities

  • Effects

  • Enchantments

  • Biomes

  • Dimensions

  • Statistics

  • Structure Files

  • Sound Events

  • Textures

  • Translation keys

And as additional ones: Display names, and certain more accurate namings.

dragon_headender_dragon_head too?

There’s only 1 dragon though; and it follows the item display name, so it’s not really unintuitive.

Assuming you meant 18w05a, I've added that affected version.

Would it be appropriate to add `commandblock_minecart` to this list? I would have thought it would be `command_block_minecart` since all other instances are `command_block`.

Can the link in this ticket be fixed as to not be a redirect?

This is a feature request.

No, it reports inconsistencies. That has always been a valid reason for a bug report. And this report even already had activity by Dinnerbone and was discussed elsewhere with Grum (as indicated by the former assignee). It even had a priority set. Please reopen.

I agree with Fabian, this is an inconsistency, not a feature request.

I agree this is not a feature request
