"X Candle Cake" should be "Cake with X Candle"

Minecraft 20w45a added new cake blocks that are created by placing a candle on top of a cake. However, the naming is weird as the cake is not made of colored candles, it just has it on top.

Since the name of the blocks is not seen in creative inventory anyway, I don't think the length is an issue either.

So, I suggest naming

  • `block.minecraft.candle_cake` from "Candle Cake" to "Cake with a Candle"

  • `block.minecraft.color_candle_cake` "Color Candle Cake" to "Cake with Color Candle"

I can confirm. Interestingly, the IDs of minecarts with blocks in them are similar to candle_cake, like minecraft:spawner_minecart. However, the names of these minecarts are Minecart with <block>. So this may be working as intended.

I very much disagree with this report. It's suggesting to make block names inconsistent amoungst eachother. It's Wall Torch, not Torch on a Wall, it is 1 object. Same applies here, it is 1 object that's being referred to, a candle cake, not a cake and a candle.

Can confirm in 20w51a.

Doesn't appear to be fixed as of 21w19a

I think it's fixed, but not for every player due to MC-165967

Keep in mind that other translations (e.g. English UK) still need to update their translation strings.
