    All items should have at least one shortname that is 7 characters or less in length. The following blocks do not meet this criteria. The format is

    item name: item id (suggested shortname)

    green glass:95.13 (GeGlass)
    blue glass:95.11 (BuGlass)
    brown glass:95.12 (BrGlass)
    black glass:95.15 (BaGlass)
    gray glass:95.7 (GaGlass)
    lt gray glass:95.8 (LGGlass)
    stained glass panes:160.0 - 160.15 (RPane, OPane, YPane, LPane, GrePane, CPane, LBPane, BluPane, PuPane, MPane, PiPane, BroPane, BlaPane, GraPane, LGPane, WPane)
    lt gray clay: 159.8 (LGClay)
    lt gray wool: 35.8 (LGWool)
    green carpet: 171.13 (GeFloor)
    blue carpet: 171.11 (BuFloor)
    brown carpet: 171.12 (BrFloor)
    black carpet: 171.15 (BaFloor)
    gray carpet: 171.7 (GaFloor)
    lt gray carpet: 171.8 (LGFloor)
    Mossy Cobble Wall: 139.1 (MCWall) *remove mcwall from cobble wall and add it to this one instead.
    Dark Prismarine: 168.2 (DPris)
    Prismarine Brick: 168.1 (PBrick)
    Prismarine: 168 (Pris)
    Sea Lantern: 169 (Lantern)
    Spruce Slab: 126.1 (SpSlab, SpStep)
    Bookshelf: 47 (BShelf)
    Cauldron: 380 (Cauld)
    Circlestone: 98.3 (Circle)
    Cracked Bricks: 98.2 (Cracked)
    Stonebrick Stair: 109 (SBStair)
    Chiseled Sandstone: 24.1 (CSStone)
    Smooth Sandstone: 24.2 (SSStone)
    Red Sandstone: 179 (RSStone)
    Red Sandstone Slab: 182 (RSSlab)
    Chiseled Red Sandstone: 179.1 (CRStone)
    Smooth Red Sandstone: 179.2 (SRStone)
    Coarse Dirt: 3.1 (CDirt)

    **These two items need to have their shortnames swapped**
    Giant Brown Mushroom: 99 (switch shortnames with 100)
    Giant Red Mushroom: 100 (switch shortnames with 99)


    Seven character shortname is the magic size because it allows you to:

    #1 use 2 digits for your quantity sold (1-99 possible)
    #2 use 4 digits for your total inventory (1-9999 possible)
    #3 convey in a word/abbreviation, exactly what the block is. As opposed to being forced to use the item ID which is confusing for customers

    For example, if the shortname is 8 characters, then i have to chop off a digit for either #1 or #2.

    I think /itemdb is a plugin of essentials since most essentials functions use it, but non-essentials (Like WorldEdit) don't accept those shortnames. So I suspect it would need a change of essentials, I have not been able to find a config file in essentials yet to change the list...

    I need to revoke my previous comment.
    Code:
    plugins\Essentials\items.csv
    Apparently this table allows the customization of item names.

    this is one of those suggestions that only improves the server and has no downside, so there's no real need for a debate, let's just do it

    However, I would urge whoever does this change officially to make sure the new short names aren't repeated so there aren't any problems (because I know there have been problems in the past because of this). Out of the ones you posted I found that "MCWall" already exists for regular cobble wall, so it would need to be changed to something different.

    Anyways, I'd like to see these too:
    Creeper Mob Head: 397;4 (CrHead)
    Skeleton Mob Head: 397;0 (SkHead)
    Zombie Mob Head: 397;2 (ZoHead)
