Wrong server version
The last version is not 1.2.2 anymore, it recently changed to 1.2.3_01 — Preceding unsigned comment added by @DeletedUser40751384 (talk • contribs) 15:07, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The server version seems to be wrong, it has changed to 0.2.5 lately — Preceding unsigned comment added by IFFA2821@legacy41472399 (talk • contribs) 13:34, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Link to known bugs
We should include a link on the main page to the known bugs page so people can report issues easier. That would also let notch know of issues found so they could be worked on. —Preceding undated comment added 06:42, 10 November 2010

Getting Started link
Suggest link near top of main page to page.
 * (Someone might want to pretty-up getting-started, too; but it's "close enough" for now -- better than nothing!) 18:53, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll see how things look when adding some crafting guide images to the Tutorial. 04:17, 20 October 2010 (CDT)
 * On second thought, that may be too much duplication between the Tutorial page and the Crafting page. 04:23, 20 October 2010 (CDT)
 * I agree. Maybe right above "Page Index" on the front page. Noting includes a couple other tutorials about getting started in Alpha, but new users could benefit from one clear direction. -- 18:52, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Redesign Main Page for the coming year (2011)
Since the site is getting heavily populated just for crafting recipes, I think we need to make the main page more vivid and organized. Like, we need to make the Categories below into one row not into two and try to fit the description under it. Also, I was thinking of starting to organize each page in the Wiki into a category, but that's just me thinking... -- 08:10, 6 September 2010 (CDT)
 * this is already in the works.-- 08:17, 6 September 2010 (CDT)
 * The Categories are in one row... -- 07:51, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Depends on screen size/resolution. I see them in one row at home, but two rows when I look at the site at work. 13:23, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Programs and Editors
The link on the main page seems to overlap content with the  section on map formats. I've merged all of the useful information from Map Editing into Development Resources. I'd like to see the main page link Map Editing changed and renamed to. I'd suggest doing it after I've fleshed the page out and added pictures, but the change would be an improvement already. 22:28, 8 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Bump. Started adding pictures. Redirected the main page link.

Main Page Logo size
It either needs to be re-sized with wiki code, or replaced with a version that is about 600 pixels wide. The current one breaks the width of the page and doesn't fit well with the text box below it. :)

Here is the re-sized version I was going to upload:

 * Just wanted to add, that I am aware of it working when the browser window is stretched out, but this width is not a typical site width for content, so for a majority of users this is not going to work as is, and those users will be presented with a messy site at first. - 11:23, 28 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed, at XGA (1024x768) the logo is simply too big. I don't normally use that resolution (I resized my browser to go to it), but it's a common-enough resolution that I recommend the wiki adopt it as kind of a 'minimum practical resolution,' something I've found useful at other wikis in terms of layouts. Basically that means that any page should be readable & unbroken at that resolution. SVGA is long gone, but XGA still has a sizable population in general (10-15% at the last numbers I've seen quoted). -- 12:29, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Link to Patch History
It seems like there really ought to be a link to on the Main Page. There's plenty of space for more links in the blue box at the bottom, and it would make it much easier to find. I didn't know, so I spent several minutes searching variations of 'game updates' and 'change log' until it finally came up. For a game that previously received weekly updates, this seems like an important enough page to receive a link on the Main Page.


 * I agree. 07:36, 24 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree as well. 04:26, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Support! :D -- 04:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Sign your posts! I +1 this


 * I think the Patch History page should be linked to the main page, it's usually very useful to most people to see how the game has  progressed and if there has been an update as of late.  -- 21:14, 3 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree.  I'm tired of having to type "Patch history" into the search bar  every time I want to check it.  Linking it would make my life, and  probably a lot of other people's lives, much easier.   -- 20:34, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Items link
There should be a link to, possibly beside the "Blocks" link.
