Rána is the name given by the Noldor to the moon in "The Lord of the Ring". That might be why players nicknamed the moon after this caracter. Galahad –Preceding undated comment was added at 16:17, 14 November 2010 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Probably, but I assure you a bunch of forumers didn't go and say "Let's name the moon something from lord of the rings!" for                       no reason at all. It probably had something to do with Rana the charatacter from Dock and SLIGHTLY influenced by that. It just doesn't make ANY sense. Pseudorealism 01:06, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

On a side note, why is there no page on Dock anywhere on the wiki? It would be nice to have some reference to who he was and what he actually contributed to the game while he was onboard. Maybe also include why he left. XANA520 07:49, 16 December 2010 (CST)

Suwako much?
Not saying Rana is a reference to Suwako but am I really the only one to notice the similarities? C4K3 16:42, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Nope, Jenny Sanderson from Chibi Robo. Definite look-a-like, more than likely based off of her. 21:59, 31 October 2013 –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.97.1.127 (talk). Please sign your posts with

 * I think this may be a case of people confusing mod content with game content. I remember installing a mod during Alpha that added Rana back into the game and when she died she dropped apples (which were otherwise extremely rare at the time). However, I've not played any versions before Alpha, so I can't say definitively that this wasn't done in whatever version she legitimately appeared in. --199.120.96.245 01:36, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Player model?
"Rana used to be the player model in Minecraft indev 0.31" That sounds very unlikely. Should we remove it? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Jumbods6415262 (talk • contribs) at 14:21, 18 December 2011 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Name
"Rana is Greek (Or Latin if I am mistaking) for "Frog". The reason why her name is Rana is becuase she has a frog hat." –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Minecraft Scientist (talk • contribs) at 18:37, 20 February 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Animation of Rana
In the picture below, you can see in the earliest instalment of Minecraft Java Edition Indev "0.30 (the 0.30 after 0.31 I suppose)", Rana had visible animation frames. The Human mob had the earliest animation, though, but that was worse than Rana's animation. When Dock (Minecraft's designer for Rana, and four others) decided to give Rana animation, there was higher quality with Rana than Human Mob. Animation for Rana was kind of a 3D, different modelled Super Mario Bros. walking animation for Big Mario. No one is possibly sure (mainly the ones who figured out that Super Mario Bros. walking animation was similar to Rana) if Nintendo (the company that made the Super Mario franchise, and many others) allowed Mojang and/or (possibly) 4J Studios to take that animation, make it smooth, and use Rana's 3D model.90.211.220.144 09:08, 11 August 2019 (UTC) –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Ldtvproductions (talk • contribs) at 14:42, 8 April 2014 (UTC).

 * They're all in the same pose. That's not animation. MarioLuigi2010 02:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

When were these removed?
I got on minecraft in 10-16-11 so I have no idea what any of these characters/entities are... can someone post a video on here about them? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Miner Leafy61352 (talk • contribs) at 17:40, 30 September 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Which version was she in?
Not Indev it seems, but rather 0.31 which is before indev (though in your list of Minecraft versions you show 0.31 as after indev, but she was in the first version of Minecraft, so that means Indev actually comes after 0.31). But not every version of 0.31 had her. One of them had Steve, Black Steve, and Beastboy instead. Furthermore, I think one of them had all 4 of these early charaters. There are multiple revions of 0.31 but I don't know which she's in. And to further complicate matters, the game itself doesn't indicate which revision it is, just that it's version 0.31 (I know, cause I downloaded a copy of ver0.31's minecraft.jar file and ran it just to see what was actually in the game in that ancient version). Can someone shed some light on this?
 * She was included in the first version of 0.31.--Moddie1000 00:21, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Protection
Why is this page so heavily protected? In russian wiki also protected, but protect indefinite 217.118.64.104 23:08, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Well, where is the answer? 217.118.64.52 01:05, 24 March 2019 (UTC)


 * This page has been editwarred on with over 15 edits in a rather short time. It was made clear in the past that splitting off this page requires discussion before action should be taken, this has been ignored all those times.
 * I protected the page to stop the editwarring. FVbico (talk) 08:40, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
