This page lag's computers
Is there a way we can make the change-log area start closed like Template:blocks. It would make the page load munch faster.--007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 20:10, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, I just went and did it. PAGE LOADS FASTER NOW.--007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 18:51, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Launcher updates in their own section? Title says it all.

Updates
Is this page no longer updated? 86.31.231.29 08:21, 17 August 2013 (UTC)


 * There's nothing to update. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs – 08:26, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Minecraft 1.7 snapshot
Does any one know when the first 1.7 snapshot is coming out? if you don't know, please reply to my user page as soon as it comes out. Thanks! When is the next Version coming!? -SAUBER 19:05, 31 August 2013 (UTC)


 * https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/373397790745178112 is as much as anyone knows at this point. -- Orthotope talk 19:28, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Night vision
"Night Vision Potion effect blinks before running out." in 1.7 snapshot, wasn't that already in 1.6.2? Ikkentim 15:40, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Mesa Biome
Does anyone have a regular spawned Mesa biome like it should be (with hardened clay)? Nobody seems able to get it, just the corrupted generation we got in the first snapshot, basically the fix from Grum did not work (see MC-29446). Greetings --Galaxy_2Alex (Talk)

Secret Features
Please add under a secret feature title that if you attempt to click the flint and steel on a creeper, it explodes. Flaming arrows 59 18:03, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Nice, I thought that will be a PE-only feature. --Galaxy_2Alex (Talk)

I've also found that there is a packed ice block and the /summon command thanks to sethblings review video. Theflamingarrows1 22:38, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

13w36a
I encountered a naturally spawned upside-down skeleton, the name tag never became visible.  LB ( T 19:37, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Known bug in 13w36b
I have found lots of flowers spawning under the ground. Much more than in previous versions. --Xbxp 14:02, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Snapshot 1.6.3?
There's a new version in my launcher titled "snapshot 1.6.3". It's exactly the same as 1.6.2 as far as I can tell. Is anyone else getting this? MarioLuigi2010 20:18, 15 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I haven't checked my launcher yet, but 1.6.3 only fixes a bug where nether fortresses weren't being kept in the world save file. -- t  numbermaniac  c  21:37, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

THIS 1 PAGE FOR EVERYTHING IS OUT OF CONTROL
This page is sloppy and way past due for being split into separate pages. I have posted this numerous times and am seriously sick of it. I am not alone. This page is too long and its well known! I can not scroll anymore without having to use my arrow keys!

Who ever owns and operates this wiki need to fix it. Someone has to have the contact information to an ADMIN that can fix this MAJOR ISSUE.

This is not a SMALL MINOR ISSUE. Its a MAJOR ISSUE for all of the Minecraftians!

NOTE: This in not vandalism in any way! I would have made separate the pages myself had it been possible... All I ask is effort is put forth, there is no excuse for the not spiting these pages up! This is just sure laziness on the Owners, Admin, and all that run this site.
 * Why would we split the page into parts? Most people only look at the top of the page, and who wants to see the rest can just scroll down instead of searching through the wiki to other pages. -- TheWombatGuru   t undefinedc  NL Admin  22:00, 18 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Most browsers wait until everything has been downloaded before it shows anything on the page. This issue has been raised before, but there's nothing we can do until MediaWiki is upgraded. The problem is that splitting the pages breaks verlink, but this can be fixed once we're moved to Gamepedia and the Lua programming language is enabled. Hopefully that hapeens soon. -- t  numbermaniac  c  22:23, 18 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry guys, I have to totally agree with the original poster here. This page is WAY too large, and will (if it hasn't already) start breaking in some browsers. Each version should have it's own page with the most recent transcluded in full here, with links to the older ones. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  23:30, 18 September 2013 (UTC)


 * It's already been discussed to split it out when it won't break every link. But we're stuck waiting for the update so we can update to a lua version of verlink with the new pages. Its not practical to support per version pages with a template. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs – 04:18, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * If something is breaking browsers, or on the verge of breaking browsers, where users are complaining about it, you don't wait to fix it for some unspecified time. I have split it out into separate pages the old fashioned wiki way, and btw... I see no discussion here on this page regarding splitting it out.. can you point me at that discussion? -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  04:38, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

 * So this problem was identified 4 months ago.... and the solution for the problem was to wait an indefinite amount of time (since there was no clear time frame on when MCW was going to get the necessary software upgrade), during which time this problem was simply going to get worse with each version update.... I'm having a hard time comprehending the logic here. Then to top it off, the discussion regarding this ongoing issue was archived.... not a proper use of archives btw. Well, it's done now. The page has been split into separate pages. There was a time when Media Wiki would provide a warning message if a page was nearing 32k, because it would break browsers.... this page was more like 300k. There are very few justifiable reasons for keeping 3 years of patch notes on a single page. BTW, this doesn't actually break the verlink template, all of the links will continue to go to the appropriate history page, a user may however need to click one additional time to get to the individual page. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  05:56, 19 September 2013 (UTC)


 * It was archived because no one had put forth any feasible ideas to keep it active.
 * The reason that message was removed is it only effects really old browsers that no one uses any more (and maybe mobile browsers with their limited RAM, but we don't even have a mobile site yet). And breaking browsers isn't the issue anyway. It's the amount of time it takes to load a page of this size. You've split the pages out and transcluded them back in, which makes the edit box a bit faster (although it's not much of an issue), but the actual problem still remains.
 * You could split the pages out if you think it's really that important, but it will mean all the links to this page need to be fixed in addition to the template, which isn't really doable because there's no way to identify which version a snapshot belongs to (without having a long list of every snapshot ever). I would count clicking a link and not being take to the right place as broken.
 * Since viewing the current version is more important than older versions, the only solution I have for this page is to move the current version's snapshots out to a individual page which we manually link to, and leave this page to rot until we've got the software to fix it up. Additionally, that would work well with the idea of every major version having its own page and either scrapping this page entirely or having it link to the different versions. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs – 06:29, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Links are wrong in 13w38c
They are almost fully correct but they have 13w38b still in them as a directory higher up. I am unable to change them as im new :/ XLRDxREVENGEx (talk) 21:57, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
