 * It's fan-faction, therefore against the rules. However if you want to still find out about information on a stupid made up character, you can always check out the page in Kizzy's userspace. – ultradude25 ( T at 12:39, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Stained Glass
I was building a castle and got the idea of trying to mix a dye and some glass to create stained/colored glass. It didn't work but I think this would be a great addition. Anyone else think so? Smartguy 21:19, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

New Seed - GRAPE
Hello!

I confess I am an addicted minecrafter and I wanted to ask what you think about adding grape/wine into the game.

Wine could refresh health as well as grapes themselves and you could make wine taverns. I think this would be a nice addition.

Maybe by drinking too much wine the player falls asleep or is not able to go into the direction the char should go. :)


 * Hello! Here isn't where to chat. Get a MineCraft Forums account. But good idea. --R ocĸetor talk  06:54, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

The Intern
Should we create a page about Tino, the intern. Name reference: http://twitter.com/#!/jnkboy/status/67519945583501312. Drenay 12:20, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Until more information is available (blogpost, etc.) I don't think its needed.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  13:13, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Misas texture pack
I downloaded misas texture pack and it lags until i press F3
 * Contact the creator. The Wiki does not give support for texture packs, skins, mods, hacks and other user-made material.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  14:17, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Illegal activity?
While watching minecraft videos on youtube the other day I came across something I think might be illegal.I found a youtuber showing how to get free accounts with minecraft updating as normal.I don't know how to add a video but the title of the video is how to get minecraft beta for free with auto updates.If memory serves when you buy minecraftit the user agreements states not to distribute and in fact there is even a splash that says it should we tell notch?In the video description there is a ink to a site that is giving it away.The person that made the video says that Notch in person told him that it was okay and that getting it from this site was legal and fine and that the yogscast got it this way seananners got it this way ect.But I don't beleive him Someone needs to tell notch badly.

 * It'll be impossible to stop ALL hackers on Minecraft. Let them be; they all know that without the purchase of Minecraft that Notch is getting poorer. Some people just like to watch the world burn. --R ocĸetor talk  12:20, 16 May 2011 (UTC)


 * This is not the place to discuss things like this, use the forums instead. Just email Mojang AB if you want them to know about this.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  13:17, 16 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Poorer? Lollet's see... 1000000(sold)*20(each)=20000000(=/=poor) Though I do agree with Quatroking. Efter 03:54, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Pages for Items and Mobs for Mods?
I think we should have pages for items and mobs that are available in Minecraft. I'd like to have approval to do this, as I think it would keep me busy. --BlogDog1231 22:40, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Like items and mobs? – Scaler (t) 06:45, 17 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Fail, Troll is fail. No Offence xD --R ocĸetor talk  09:28, 17 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you mean pages for items and mobs that are added by mods? If so, no, anything third party does not belong in the mainspace.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  12:59, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Translations
Hi! I'm pretty new here. I want to translate this wiki into Hungarian, but to do that, I have to be in the Autoconfirmed usergroup. I don't have problems with the 3 days; I have a problem with the 10 edits. This whole wiki seems flawless, or at least contains everything I currently know about Minecraft. I have no new mechanism to share, no more information about anything than it is shared on this wiki. I don't know how I am supposed to make 10 edits without the possibility to create more pages. So if someone helped me, like, those who have powers to create pages, create Hungarian pages (just find a page, like Redstone, and overwrite it so it says Redstone/hu, then copy and paste the original English text in it and save) and list them on the Hungarian project page under the last title (Fordítás alatt lévő oldalak; Pages under translation), I would translate them and I'd be grateful. There aren't many Hungarian editors out there and none of the Wanted pages want Hungarian translations. But I have an urge to translate. Please help! TunSha 16:33, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Every edit counts, including small 1-character changes. Look around for articles that could use re-wording or things like that.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  07:30, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Map name
Im editing the Nether page right now, and i frequently need to refer to the "above ground map" in a world. This is tedious and sort of misleading, so I wondering if we should to it as "Earth" or something? This would probably need its own article, but it could be added to the Map page or something. Toadbert


 * Most call it the overworld --R ocĸetor talk  09:25, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Minecraft Mobile!
Should we make an article on the new "Pocket edition?"? Drenay 21:25, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  21:39, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That is, when we have actual material to write about, right? Can't do much with a screenshot alone.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  06:48, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Block-in-Inventory Images
They all need to be updated. In 1.6 there seems to be way less shadows on the sides. Toadbert


 * Done. You may need to update without cache to see the changes. – Scaler (t) 11:12, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Snowed in
Help! i built a great boat harbor in what now appears to be a snow biome! i've got ice everywhere now and i can't get my boats out. any way to end ice regeneration in a specific area?


 * Put torches everywhere. – ultradude25 ( T at 01:08, 29 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm getting a little tired of having to find a work around for new updates. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reddeath (Talk 00:52, 5 June 2011. Please sign your posts with

Do burning skeletons and zombies set flammable items on fire?
I know this sounds kind of dumb, but it's not on the wiki and if a person new to MineCraft wants to know, but doesn't find it, wouldn't they get confused? --MeYouAndTheRadio 18:52, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

They do not, no entity does.

The PC gamer demo
We should really make a page about the demo IMO so here are a questions on the subject: A.Should we make such a page? B.Should it be considered a game mode? C.under what categories and templates? also, it will be nice to have a list of ref's on the subject listed here...--Yurisho 19:50, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Someone please block this user. See contribs for why. -Aurelius 19:12, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Embedded Video
Seeing as we have the Embed Video extension installed I think we should start using it at least on the tutorial pages. I have made the necessary changes to Tutorials/Traps as an example of how Embedded Video works. This does not change the rule on spamming your youtube videos everywhere, but rather than sending people to youtube, let's keep them here. -- Wynthyst  talk  23:10, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe not EmbedVideo, but Widgets extension? It also allows to embed video - http://www.mediawikiwidgets.org/Main_Page This extension is installed on pl.Wiki  Lewandowski 'pl.Wiki Admin   talk  23:15, 31 May 2011 (UTC) EDIT': example: JJayJoker/The_Creeper_Song
 * We already have EmbedVideo. Not gonna change it now. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  00:12, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Powered cart problem
Hi Since the latest update I cannot get a powered cart to Push me even on the flat when it meets a cart it just stops! Can anybody help? Cheers Mike

Normal world article?
Should we make an article about the normal minecraft world just like we have an article about the nether? --Yurisho 17:00, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I had came to understand it is called the overworld --Yurisho 19:26, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Outdated AND Removed
Can someone please tell me why we have an Outdated category AND a Removed category??? Shouldn't we put them both under one name? --Yurisho 06:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Category:Outdated is for features that have been erased from the Minecraft code (used by the Outdated template), whereas Category:Removed is for features that have been made unobtainable in the game but are still in the code (and thus obtainable with hack or editors) (used by the Removedstillingame and NotInGameYet template). I've changed the descriptions of the categories to made them more explicit. – Scaler (t) 09:47, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Water elevators
The Water elevators are incorrectly labeled as outdated. Due to update 1.6.6, they will work again, granted you use only source blocks in the vertical shaft. If not using only source blocks, the boat will get pushed down by the current. Simpler said: Downward currents actually push boats down now. Water elevators will still work, if you make it so that there is no current. Krostog 15:21, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Peaceful to Hard to Peaceful Mode
I was just wondering if you were on Peaceful mode on Minecraft Beta 1.6.6, and it was day. Then you

got in your little hideout at night, all safe and protected, and turned the mode on Hard. Then, you waited till sunrise, when all the skeletons and zombies catch on fire, and you turned it on Peaceful. Would the stuff that the skeletons and zombies drop still be there for you to collect?

Depends if the zombies or skeletons are already dead when you switch peaceful. When switching on peaceful, hostile mobs despawn without leaving items. C ali <font color="Purple">nou - talk × contribs » 20:48, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
