I need help regarding the demo
Hi, I'm interested in getting Minecraft so I downloaded the demo.

I play the demo and then it says it's loading but then the loading screen turns white and the whole window disappeared, I wondered at first if that's suppose to happen so I waited...for 20 minutes, nothing happened.

I've searched for an hour on google for topics about problems like this but I could only find people with lag problems, while I can't even get past the loading screen. I saw a youtube video that helps with a loading screen problem but my problem is different, the one in the video's is the actual game so menu looked different and their window didn't disappear when they loaded it.

Please help me with this problem, it's driving me nuts, I've tried updating drivers, graphic cards etc but none of that has changed anything.

(If I need to get a new one then please suggest it) Radeon165 9/7/11 5:30PM (Australia)

Updates
This is a little crazy, but, can some be on here and look at every page, or split it up between your admins, because there is a lot of old info on a lot of pages that have a purpose, but have old info. The Thunderstorm page, and a bunch of pages. And if something is confirmed to be an expansion of a block or item, please make a 'Future' Section, like I did with Pumpkins.

EGA 2011
Minecraft is nominated at the EGA 2011 in the categories "Best European Game," "Best Indie Game," "Best Online Game", "Best Game Design" and "Best Browser Game." Should we place a link on the mainpage? -- Oliver Scholz  de.Wiki Admin 02:35, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Commented out the illegal link because editing comments is a big no-no. Verhalthur (talk)(contribs) 16:17, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Foreign Language Versions
I understand that the foreign language pages are valuable. I actually like the idea, but there's a serious flaw with the current organization system in place for these pages: They clog up the auto-generated pages. Especially the "wanted pages" article.

I know many other Wikis (including Wikipedia and most of the sites on Wikia) use a prepending system to handle this. (en.minecraftwiki, es.minecraftwiki, he.minecraftwiki, etc) This would reduce the stress load on the collector functions and allow persons wishing to contribute to "broken pages" an easier time in finding them. Thanks much, BobChao 02:24, 3 September 2011 (UTC)


 * The prepending system is also used on Minecraft Wiki (see Spanish, French, German, Hungarian, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese versions), but only when translations are sufficiently advanced. There are many people who demand the establishment of a translation project, but that translation is not often done after… – Scaler (t) 08:35, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
