Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

Enchanting/Levels Changes
In 1.13 and 1.14, maximum enchantment values have been removed.

Code snippet from net.minecraft.server.EnchantmentManager using BuildTools:

for (int j = enchantment.getMaxLevel; j > enchantment.getStartLevel - 1; --j) { if (i >= enchantment.a(j)) { list.add(new WeightedRandomEnchant(enchantment, j)); break; }   }

where enchantment.a(int) is the calculation for minimum value and pre 1.14 enchantment.b(int) was for maximum value. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Crashtheparty (talk • contribs) at 02:54, 8 May 2019‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * Hi ; your edit got caught in an abuse filter that is meant to disallow vandalism edits by preventing removal of sections, but often hits false positives. Your edit was a false positive and I'm sorry you weren't able to make it. Based on the details you've given, I'm pretty sure what you're saying is correct, but I can't verify it for myself unfortunately. Wonder if you'd be able to take a look and see if all the information in Special:AbuseLog/4597216 is accurate and adheres to the wiki standards? You seem to know quite a bit about technical Minecraft stuff. Cheers, --Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:05, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Notification spamming
For some reason, starting a day or two ago, I started getting email notifications that someone has edited a page. The pages are ones I've edited before, so they are on my watchlist.

The thing is, I don't have that email notification turned on in my preferences. I turned them all off last night (unchecked the boxes but left the overall on/off switch to "on") and this morning I got more notifications.

This isn't happening for any page, just a handful per day, so I have no idea how a page gets chosen for an email notification to me.

Did something get updated in the last couple of days? ~ Amatulic (talk) 13:57, 3 August 2019 (UTC)


 * The notification system was updated three (I think?) days ago, as there were numerous problems with the previous system we were using, so this is probably a bug from the switch. I noticed the same thing myself; I only have email notifications set for edits to my user talk page and user group rights changes but I'm getting email notifications for some edits to pages on my watchlist but not others. I've reported it in the Gamepedia Discord server, so hopefully staff will be able to have a look.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 14:44, 3 August 2019 (UTC)


 * A staff member has now created a ticket for this problem - .--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 14:46, 3 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'm going to flip the global switch to turn off all email notifications and see if that works. ~ Amatulic (talk) 17:17, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Nope... Setting "Do not send me any email notifications" doesn't work either. ~ Amatulic (talk) 00:12, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
 * This is really annoying. Into the spam folder they go for now.   Nixinova    T    C   00:50, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
 * One notices only when the spam arrives, but not when it isn't arriving. I only just now realized that I haven't seen these email notifications for a few weeks, so the bug must have gotten fixed. ~ Amatulic (talk) 19:57, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

It's pillager outpost, not illager outpost
Hello, on the page https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Pillager I saw the mistake, there was "including villages and illager outposts", when i wanted to fix "illager outposts" to "pillager outposts" it said: "Error: Your action has been disallowed by an automated edit filter. A brief description of the matched rule(s) for your action is: You have changed the word "illager" to "villager" or "pillager". The word "illager" is likely to be correct; it refers to hostile villager-like mobs that spawn in mansions and raids (as mentioned in this minecraft.net article). If you believe your edit was constructive, please post a message on the admin noticeboard or notify an admin directly.", so can you fix that, if i can't? thx –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Farman52 (talk • contribs) at 19:06, 24 August 2019 (UTC).

Mods/OptiFine
Some content on the page could be seen as advertising; for example, "It is highly recommended by the experts to install the OptiFine for Minecraft". Yesterday, I used cleanup to request rewriting the page. However, soft redirecting to the Feed the Beast Wiki might be a better solution. Should I go ahead and do this?

"History" tab not showing old NBT data
When viewing the NBT data of a Villager (at the bottom of the Villager wiki page) it's based around the current Minecraft version. However when selection an older revision via the "History" tab, the NBT data is unaffected. This is a problem because I'm unable to view what NBT data was like at earlier dates. This doesn't seem to affect every wiki page, but Villagers is a good example. --Opryzelp (talk) 02:05, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Multiple "Trivia" sections
On the page "Day-Night Cycle", there are multiple trivia sections. The first section has multiple entries and is obviously the main one, while the second section includes just one entry. As a "new user" I am unable to make this change. Sweepingjeans (talk) 19:03, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Autopatrol/Patroller suggestion
I suggest Hatsuki kiri to get autopatrol or patroller, because he make constructive edits and is active at fighting vandalism. Before he can get patroller rights, he should begin with leaving a reason when he undo edits, so everyone know why it was unconstructive. - Magiczocker (talk) 14:23, 6 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Granted autopatrol; agree there. For patroller, I would prefer to see a slightly better understanding of the English language to avoid the patrolling of edits that have major grammatical or spelling errors. However, that's just my opinion; I have no issues with another admin granting patroller if they think it would be appropriate, as long as Hatsuki indicates that they even want the role and have read through MCW:Patrollers. Thanks, --Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 14:30, 6 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your suggestions and trusting my edits. I will write edit summary before saving changes more often, and keep fighting vandalism then. But there's still a long way to go before I can become a patroller, because I haven't been able to express my idea in English smoothly yet. So I will improve my English skills and try to become a patroller on zh wiki first so that I can gain more experience. -- <font face="Minecraft" color=#FBAC22>Hatsuki kiri ( $User talk:Hatsuki kiri/Special:Contribs/Hatsuki kiri$) 15:27, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

I suggest ImakerB to get autopatrol, because he make constructive edits and is active since 2016. - Magiczocker (talk) 10:44, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

I suggest Tengoblinekcz to get autopatrol, because he make constructive edits and is one of the directors. - Magiczocker (talk) 14:11, 28 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Done.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:43, 28 September 2019 (UTC)


 * What is with ImakerB that I suggested above? - Magiczocker (talk) 15:48, 28 September 2019 (UTC)


 * ImakerB is definitely a constructive user, but I'm a bit hesitant about granting autopatrol because they often make edits with major grammatical errors, some of which are hard to comprehend. I don't object to another admin granting it, however, if they believe the productiveness and frequency of their edits outweighs the severity of their grammatical errors.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 17:00, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree. As long as ImakerB sticks to maintenance edits (which seems to be most of his activity) he makes quality contributions. But when he write prose, I often have to clean up afterward. I don't really mind doing this because what he adds is good material... provided the English is comprehensible enough to rephrase correctly. The grammatical constructs he uses make me suspect his native language is Russian or something similar. If his edits are autopatrolled, they would no longer be flagged as needing patrolling, and the English errors do need patrolling. ~ Amatulic (talk) 20:04, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Is it necessary to add a new rule for abuse filter?
I noticed some unconstructive edits recently, all of which used the word "yeet", such as revision 1422379, revision 1425784 and revision 1417114. Though I don't really know what they want to express by using that word. -- <font face="Minecraft" color=#FBAC22>Hatsuki kiri ( $User talk:Hatsuki kiri/Special:Contribs/Hatsuki kiri$) 22:33, 6 September 2019 (UTC)


 * I added the word to the "disallow certain words" filter, though I'm not sure if it will cause any false positives. – Sonicwave talk  22:49, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protection request for page Java Edition 1.15

 * I'd say do both. Imo it's pretty obvious that a range block would be useful, but a month or two of semi-protection also seems reasonable, given that the page's two week protection (applied by myself) expired only a few days ago and there has been disruptive editing from both this range and several other IP addresses since.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:12, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Odd page on Category Policies
The page User:MarcelTheHippie/sandbox (created by, that is "MarcelTheHippie" renamed) is categorized as a Wiki Policy since November 2017‎. Users (sub)pages should not be found at Category:Policies as it may cause confusion. And the page is a duplicate of Wiki rules.

Can anyone else remove this category tag? Thank you. —Sapadorcastelo (talk) 15:06, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

About Crafting usage
There might be something wrong with this template. It is expected that the pages of items with this template should be added to Category:Empty crafting usage if they are not used in any crafting reicipes, but the page of bow, which can be used to craft dispenser, is unexpectedly included in this category. After discussion with (see here), Module:Crafting seemingly needs to be debugged, which is fully protected however. So we may need an administrator to help with solving this problem.

Suggestion about patroller permissions
I suggest that more permissions, such as blocking users, protecting and deleting pages, should be applied to patrollers in order that repetitive vandalism can be stopped more efficiently. -- <font face="Minecraft" color=#FBAC22>Hatsuki kiri 〔$User talk:Hatsuki kiri/Special:Contribs/Hatsuki kiri$〕 11:09, 14 October 2019 (UTC)


 * That's out of the scope of patrollers though; patrollers are just for verifying edits; what you are suggesting is giving them administrative actions. FVbico (talk) 11:43, 14 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes. Though I think it is also reasonable for patrollers to prevent vandalism in a more efficient way. In many cases, giving warnings is not very helpful. -- <font face="Minecraft" color=#FBAC22>Hatsuki kiri 〔$User talk:Hatsuki kiri/Special:Contribs/Hatsuki kiri$〕 12:32, 14 October 2019 (UTC)


 * The problem I see with this is we have a huge backlog of patrolling requests. Blocking, protecting, and deleting are very sensitive rights, so if we were to give all these abilities to all patrollers, the trust level of the user group would have to significantly increase. Therefore, we would in principal have fewer patrollers and the backlog would grow even more. The (current) role of patrollers is to mark edits as patrolled, with an additional ability to rollback edits, and giving them more sensitive permissions that are usually only given to admins, will change this role and as I explained, likely cause the backlog to increase long-term.


 * Creating a whole new right, like a few wikis have, such as a moderator that can block users and "moderate" pages might be an option, but imo if someone can be trusted to block, protect, and delete, they can be trusted with the full administrator right.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 12:45, 14 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I see. It seems that changing user rights needs much more consideration than I thought. -- <font face="Minecraft" color=#FBAC22>Hatsuki kiri 〔$User talk:Hatsuki kiri/Special:Contribs/Hatsuki kiri$〕 13:12, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

The page Java Edition Infdev 20100617-1 [ https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Java_Edition_Infdev_20100617-1 ] is a mislabeling. The version is actually 20100617-2. A 20100617-1 never existed.

It's mentioned in some patch notes, but not there is no page or documentation for it anywhere here on this wiki as far as I know. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.60.99.181 (talk) at 09:02, 3 January 2020‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Launcher beta versions not updated fast enough
I've seen some admin or something say Minecraft versions usually update on the main page within one day, however I don't see this with the beta versions of the launcher. I understand that this could be because you first manually have to change version and then within a day the page updates. If this is the case, automatically updating the versions would be good. Anyway, today the latest beta version is Launcher 2.1.1083x. 185.253.97.145 16:54, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

youtu.be url blocked by spam filter
Trying to put shortened youtube.com link youtu.be as reference will prevent edit. 194.34.132.139 18:05, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * This restriction is pulled from Wikimedia's spam blacklist, where it is needed to avoid bypassing blacklists on Wikimedia wikis. As such, the youtu.be shortcut will remain in that list, as has been stated repeatedly. Removing the dependency on that blacklist is not a good idea as many entries there are not wanted. However, it should be possible to add youtu.be to the local whitelist, but I'm not sure it's an appropriate course of action. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 18:39, 16 January 2020 (UTC)


 * There is no reason not to use a full youtube link. Especially on articles full links are preferred, and on talk pages it more work to get a short link anyways. – KnightMiner  · (t) 01:24, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * We also have templates for inserting YouTube links and embedding YouTube videos. We shouldn't be using bare URLs. ~ Amatulic (talk) 02:02, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

tile.air.name redirect needed
I have found the SUPER ULTRA MEGA FUNNY joke item called "tile.air.name", which is introduced as a joke in minecraft snapshot 13w38b at Java_Edition_removed_features. I purpose to create this redirect to Air. 184.22.108.112 08:30, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Twitch movement did not transfer account
I found out that Gamepedia now uses Twitch, which when I tried to log in on my old account, it does not allow me to do that and instead logs me into this new account that is linked to Twitch, which is linked on the forums. What should I do to merge these two accounts into one, or even get rid of this to use the other one that I used before? I cannot even change the username, which makes this even more frustrating. --Tyzaack33801 (talk) 07:54, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * You should probably submit a Zendesk ticket. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 10:36, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for quick response. I sent them a request. I noticed that their suggestion for fix was outdated, as the previous "My Account" has been replaced with "Twitch". Do as you please with this topic, but I will note about the change whenever they respond, if this topic is kept. --Tyzaack33801 (talk) 21:46, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Just noting we generally keep topics on the admin noticeboard just for reference even if they would be more appropriate in another forum (which this topic is actually appropriate for the admin noticeboard imo) unless they're completely unrelated to the wiki (such as fan-made suggestions for the game), so I don't think anybody's going to remove this topic.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 18:35, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Just recently they fixed the issue. Took them some time, but I'm happy with the result. Thanks for your help. --McTwist (talk) 23:29, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

New Category: Tables
A category page should be made called "Tables" or similar containing crafting tables, urnaces, brewing stands, enchanting tables, looms, smokers, cartography tables etc. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.118.82.173 (talk) at 18:23, 5 March 2020 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * I'm not necessarily opposed, but I would like to note that we already have Category:Utility blocks which serves a similar purpose but is slightly broader. I presume what would define pages that belong in this category are blocks that allow players to store or modify items (which is true for all the blocks you listed), but I'm not sure "Tables" would be the most accurate name for such a category. I would definitely be open to other opinions.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 18:30, 5 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Maybe it's not that a bad idea if the category has a good definition, but I don't think this category should be called "Tables", and I honestly can't pick a better name. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 19:22, 5 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I typically call them "Crafting blocks" or "Recipe blocks", as they are blocks that allow you to perform recipes. – KnightMiner  · (t) 01:25, 6 March 2020 (UTC)


 * If such a category were created "Recipe blocks" would be my personal preference of the choices provided.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 02:10, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Template:License Mojang
Hi, could someone please fix the License Mojang template? The page is locked and can only be edited by administrators. The template categorizes images, but not other files. I think that it could work if someone activated the prepared option. – Tengoblinekcz (talk) 10:26, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * It does categorize all files. If you view the source, you will see that it chooses the category based on the file extension. It categorizes imageas as Mojang images, and other files as Mojang files.
 * Also, please use "Add topic" in the future. The BlobsPaper.png 15:52, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The template does not categorize other files, the function is disabled with . You can see all uncategorized files with license here. – Tengoblinekcz (talk) 11:18, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Villager Vandalization

Dupe tutorial page vandalization

Ink Sac page vandalization

more redstone stuff
i had looked up on this wiki for pulse extender and it din't have a page for them, so i was thinking that you guys should add more redstone stuff.

Automatic filter blocks articles in other languages
I have created a page for the Swedish translation project, but when I tried to publish it, the automatic filter blocked it because it contained "an unwanted word". The translation isn't completely finished, so either the "unwanted word" comes from the original English version, or the filter simply blocks normal Swedish words. It would be nice if some changes to the filter could be made; perhaps it could recognize the language the page is written in and adapt the "unwanted word" list to that specific language?

 * As you probably guessed, your edit was caught in a filter that is designed to prevent vandalism but occasionally runs into false positives. Since your edit was obviously constructive, I've gone ahead and created the page for you. The thing about the filter is a lot of the words listed there are not only blocked if they stand on their own but also if they're contained within another word, which is often the source of false positives with this filter. Us admins, when we add new words to the filter, consider whether that word might be used inside of another English word and if so add it to a different category of the filter (where only standalone words are detected and blocked) or just not at all; however, it's difficult to check to see if that word could potentially be used in any foreign language. I'm guessing a Swedish word in any part of the article happened to contain a disallowed word in the filter which caused your edit to be blocked. Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to determine what exact word it was that triggered it except by reading every word of the article and comparing it manually (which I'm definitely too lazy to do right now :P). However, it might not be a bad idea in general to make the filter not act at all on translation pages, as I doubt they're likely to be vandalized frequently (since they're buried so deep into the wiki). Sorry for the trouble and thanks for letting us know about this.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:28, 23 March 2020 (UTC)--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:28, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Main Page Demo Link
The word "demo" on the main page links to the Java Edition demo, but shouldn't it link to the wiki article instead? Java is not the only edition with demo, and there's an article on this wiki, so there really is no reason to link to minecraft.net instead of the wiki page.－77.247.178.183 15:33, 27 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Do you mean the demo link in the second paragraph of "About Minecraft"? The context of that paragraph should be enough to suggest that the Java Edition demo is what's being referred to, but I agree that linking the wiki article would be better (though honestly that entire intro needs cleaning up). – Sonicwave talk  16:29, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Upcoming Version on Main Page

Vulgar Language on a Tutorial Page
