The Minecraft Wiki is an online encyclopedia maintained by the community, for everything from the Minecraft universe. The wiki includes the games Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Earth, but also Mojang Studios and other studios that were participating in making Minecraft.

The wiki was founded on July 16, 2009, but since November 15, 2010, it is hosted on the Gamepedia platform. As probably most wikis, The Minecraft Wiki is also running on wiki software called MediaWiki, the same as Wikipedia is using. With over 4300 pages, 1.6 million edits, and over 300 active users, Minecraft Wiki is one of the most popular wikis on the entire Gamepedia platform.

Currently, there are 18 Minecraft wikis in different languages. The biggest ones are English, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian. The English Minecraft Wiki and some others also contain 2 smaller wikis, which are the Minecraft Dungeons Wiki and Minecraft Earth Wiki. They can be found in their own namespace.

The Minecraft Wiki is sometimes also edited by Mojang directly. Some pages like add-ons, with their documentation, were even made by them. And even if these were created by Mojang, they're still editable by everyone, unless they are protected due to vandalism. Also, the Minecraft Wiki was used as a place to report bugs before Minecraft Bug Tracker, MoJIRA, was created.
