Cobblestone's old texture
In the very early versions of Minecraft, Cobblestone had a slightly different texture, with less colors.

File:OldCobblestoneTex.PNG

Mind making a render of it and putting on its article? Somebody500 (有人500) 01:23, 30 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you have a version number for it? – ultradude25 ( T at 04:49, 30 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Uhh, not sure, but I am sure it got changed to its current texture between 0.0.13a_03 and 0.0.15a. Definitely before the first multiplayer test. Somebody500 (有人500) 13:48, 30 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I'd rather have a definite version number before adding about when it was added to the article. – ultradude25 ( T at 12:57, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Grief
Hi, i reverted 3 times the contributions on minecraft wiki/es from the user Ryo because is deleting the correct links, creating bad links in spanish, outdating the article to english in some places and more. In second place, i want to be admin from the spanish translation, what may i do? thanks Milogullon 05:45, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

I know you asked Ultradude, not me, but i'd just like to point out that 'griefing' something on the minecraft wiki isn't actually called griefing, it's called vandalizing. :D Hope you get a reply --R ocĸetor talk  07:31, 3 May 2011 (UTC)


 * You should report problems on the Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard, not here. As I can't read the language I really have no idea what's going on there in your reverts, for all I know you could be the one reverting to bad language. Probably best to find an admin that speaks spanish. – ultradude25 ( T at 08:33, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

thanks for your time (R0cketor and Ultradude25), here i go. Milogullon 08:45, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Minecraft Terrain Changer
Hello Ultradude25,

I released a small tool used to easily change the terrain.png textures for Minecraft. You can download it here. Should I add a line in the corresponding Tools table ?

bug formatting
Hey, Nice work on the template. You seem to know a lot more about this template and table stuff as I do so i appreciate the work you put into it. I've applied some feedback into the fields that I was using so I guess it would be best if yours shows the same fields. The @jeb i changed into 'Statements' - in both cases they represent feedback from Mojang. I added 'cosmetic' to impact for things like "Beds being broken appear to get brighter". (so in my example it's cosmetic-low-normal-high ), and priority changed to 'Fix announced' (so if we know they are working on some bug to fix before the next version we can add that bit of info, since we cant tell what mojang thinks about the priority and to eliminate that people mark things higher because they think its important)

Suggestion for creating Template:Redirect
Here is a member of Chinese translation project.

Just wondering if there could be a  like the one on Wikipedia?

There are two opinion of creating new pages: still using "/ch" until all pages are translated, or directly using Chinese characters, as using 冰 instead of ice/ch. However, if adopting the latter one, there would be a huge amount of modification, as all the links in pages should be changed. And before this diversification is not solved, there might be more trouble in the future.

I don't know how the French translation project goes, maybe they had used French for creating pages instead of using "/fr", or had modified all pages manually (hard to believe that) It could be very nice if you let me know how it goes.

Or if I could recommend you for creating .We may just have to add it to every pages' heads, which may getting things easier after finishing all pages, no matter for Chinese or other translation project.

 * All translation pages use subdomains. Any pages using any thing else, will be deleted. (Or moved, if the person who sees it can be bothered looking up what language it's for.) – ultradude25 ( T at 14:46, 8 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Well...so should all pages using /xx be changed manually after we finished all the translations and given a subdomain?(Jarv 15:36, 8 May 2011 (UTC))


 * Yep. – ultradude25 ( T at 16:42, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Using some renders
Hey, I'd like to use some of your renders for a project of mine. Namely Coal, Iron, Gold and Diamond blocks. Is that an issue? (If it is, I can do my own renders, not a problem). Adys 10:58, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Unable to create pages etc.
Hello! I'm unable to create pages and I don't know why? I have confirmed my E-mail address but I guess there is more to the anti-spam bot filter?

Anyways is there any way you could make me able to create pages, I would like to do some translation work for my native language (Norwegian) :)

or at least tell me how to be able to create new pages :)

with best Regards: Mazetar


 * Hi. I know i'm not Ultra but i'd like to tell you about the autoconfirmed usergroup. To make pages, you must confirm your email address, be a user for 3 days and have 10 edits (any edits). Also it's great that we have another translator! When i make pages I search up an article name, and if it doesn't exist, it says if I want to create it. Well, that's what I do.

Would an Interwiki-Link Bot make sense?
Hi, afaik, you're one of the two bot creators in the minecraft wiki, so I'm asking you about this: Do you think it would make sense to set up an interwiki-link bot in here? As of now, there are many languages and translations coming up, so I thought about it... I have experience with bots on the wikipedia itself, but not on other wikis, so you might tell me if I just had to change the user-config or anything else too.

Thanks for your time --morre.meyer 17:50, 22 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Uh well we're using WP:AWB, we didn't create the bots. – ultradude25 ( T at 23:37, 22 May 2011 (UTC)


 * But do you think it would make sense to set up a bot? --morre.meyer 11:27, 23 May 2011 (UTC)


 * It would free up a lot of time for whomever is currently doing this with AWB (not to mention the fact that the amount of work to be done increases linearly at best, and probably closer to exponentially, as new languages are added). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:54, 23 May 2011 (UTC)


 * So I'm going to try setup one. Visit my bot info for the latest info about it. --morre.meyer 18:33, 23 May 2011 (UTC)


 * So we acutally only have AWB-users and no real bots? If it is like this, I'll spend some more time on bots, setting up two ones, one for Interwiki links, the other for automatic syntax/spell correction. And by the way, to whom shall I refer for the bot flag? --morre.meyer 19:03, 23 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Aww, before I forget this: While I'm starting working with the bot, it may do mysterious edits. Therefore, I will (as usual) let it run controlled at the beginning and of course I'll revert eventually occuring false edits --morre.meyer 19:24, 23 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry to intrude. I'm using a py-wikipedia bot on the french wiki. I've tried to use it to set up the interwiki links, but I was confronted to those issues : Minecraft Wiki talk:Directors, which are not resolved yet… – Scaler (t) 19:30, 23 May 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem, always thankful for new input. Maybe some conflicts with the cyrillian letters? I won't give up until it works or something crashes (so far it seems that my computer likes to do this if I'm working on wikis). Maybe I'll find a solution... --morre.meyer 19:44, 23 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Should probably check with Wynthyst before setting up any automatic bots. I remember her saying she didn't want any unless she really trusted the owner. – ultradude25 ( T at 03:03, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm going to check with her. --morre.meyer 07:08, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


 * And as of me thinking at low speed sometimes, I forgot that I'm behind a proxy for the next two weeks. But I'll keep talking to everyone of importance how to deal with bots or if we don't like bots at all. --morre.meyer 11:17, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

History merge
Someone did a copy-paste move of Hatch to Trapdoor, meaning the history is now split between two pages, so a history merge is now needed between the two pages. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:15, 26 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright I did it. It was actually a lot easier than I thought, although I still felt like I was about to completely wreck both pages. D: – ultradude25 ( T at 14:36, 28 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for finally doing this (and sorry for pushing you into it)! I'm quite comfortable merging page histories (somewhat less so with splitting them, which tends to be more time-consuming); if you have any questions about the process I can probably answer them for you. ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:15, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Block renders
I'm planning on re-rendering all the block renders so they're facing the same way as the 1.6 inventory (I've also been planning to do them with anti-aliasing, but never got around to it), so just a heads up to not work on flipping any of them as I'll be doing them all anyway. – ultradude25 ( T at 14:15, 28 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, I did for the stairs as I thought it was an easy one, but when I saw that the texture as to be rotated as well I abandoned and was planning on asking you if you could re-render the blocks ^^"
 * Anyway thanks for warning. – Scaler (t) 15:06, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I'm from the fledgling Buildcraft Wiki. I noticed your templates (well okay I copied them, the source page said I could. I'm sorry if you didn't want me to) and tried them on the buildcraft wiki.

Dynamic Page Lists
Hi, I've been trying to sort out mods recently and think that dynamic lists would be a good idea, but the code for DPL doesn't work, so I'm guessing it's not installed on this wiki. I think lists like this would be really nice for organising mods, texture packs, mobs, blocks etc (example from Guild Wars Wiki: Skill template and Skill list.) As you seem to be the most active admin, I thought I'd bring the possibility up and see if you can do anything! St Lucretia 11:48, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Map or Seed
Hi Ultradude,

I would like to know if you have the map (or the seed) what you have added here : http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/File:Complete_Map.png Because it's really interesting, it's look like Switzerland (my country ^^) in big or Russia.

Thanks.
