Why is editing through tor blocked?
Am i wrong for using tor? Do you trash our internet privacy? If you want to prevent abuse, then why isn't vpn blocked but tor? Do you think there are more people using tor than vpn? Just why? Why do you block tor users from editing? -- 196.245.151.215 08:04, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Editing through Tor is blocked due to extensive abuse by bad-faith users. I can ask around and see if people think the block should be lifted, but I don't think they'll agree. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 11:32, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Then why isn't vpn blocked as well like wikipedia? I believe the amount of abusers will decrease even more if you do so. -- 209.58.163.233 15:05, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The problem with tor is that we cannot identify the editor, since the IP address would be different each time. If you really want to edit through tor, you can create an account. The BlobsPaper.png 16:43, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * you still didn't answer my question. why isn't vpn blocked as well like tor? wikipedia does have both of them blocked. -- 37.120.203.90 13:31, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I the decision of blocking VPN. Doing so should decrease the number of vandalizm. - 113.29.230.200 13:26, 12 April 2020 (UTC)


 * you can't log in or sign up when using tor, blobs2 192.119.160.214 12:47, 6 May 2020 (UTC)


 * VPNs are blocked on Wikipedia due to them using open proxies. VPNs that use closed proxies are able to edit Wikipedia. 173.0.77.8 13:22, 5 June 2020 (UTC)


 * In addition to being able to circumvent blocks, another major problem with VPNs: even if a user is constructive, it's really difficult to notify them about something if they keep switching their IP. I don't know much about IPs and VPNs, but how would we be able to know for a fact that a certain user is in fact using a VPN?--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:55, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Armor page request.
I was going to look up the armor mechanics for the game, but the wiki said it didn't exist. Please fix this. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 174.61.18.143 (talk) at 17:25, 14 May 2020 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

 * Might not be a bad idea to create Armor mechanics a redirect, however, if it's a common search target.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 17:28, 14 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and created the redirect. – Sonicwave talk  19:41, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

20w14~ Easter Eggs redirects
I purpose to create the redirects for Easter Egg dimensions names to Java Edition 20w14∞:


 * Basic / BASIC
 * Blacklight
 * Brand
 * Biome For Player With No Time For Nonsense
 * Checkerboard
 * Chess
 * Content
 * Custom
 * Fleet / Between
 * Gallery
 * Holes
 * Isolation
 * Message
 * Missing
 * Notes
 * Nothing
 * Patterns
 * Perfection
 * Retro
 * Rooms
 * Shapes
 * Spiral
 * Terminal
 * this_is_a_very_long_phrase_that_hopefully_is_not_in_any_dictionary
 * Tunnels
 * Zone / Zones

Plural redirects:


 * Bridges → Bridge

Synonyms:


 * Darkness → Light
 * Origin → Debug screen
 * Skygrid → Far Lands

And 16 colors redirects.

It's plausible!

Coral Fans redlink
Please fix the redlink by recreating the redirect Coral Fans to Coral fans. 49.228.176.243 09:55, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * There is no reason for such a redirect to exist, since the Coral Fan page will just appear as you start typing Coral Fans. Honestly, I am not sure why we have the Coral fans redirect. The BlobsPaper.png 15:51, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, the search suggestions take a minute to show up, so it's not true that they will appear immediately when you start typing Coral Fans. The redirect also useful for linking; it's impractical to go through every single edit made by anyone to make sure they use the format Coral fans instead of Coral fans (and for all other items with potential plural forms). Furthermore, redirects are absolutely harmless; they take up barely any space and they don't clutter the search bar because the "actual main page" takes priority when searching, making any redirects to that page that are in a similar format not show up at all. In addition, the current style guide allows any alternate capitalization or form, meaning that both Coral Fans and Coral fans would be valid redirects. Citing existing rules/guidelines as I did isn't a reason for supporting/opposing a proposal, but that's not the purpose of this particular discussion.


 * The redirect was actually created as Coral Fans initially, but moved to Coral fans (which is not an appropriate way of deleting or creating redirects, as it makes the edit histories confusing).--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:26, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Gravatar machine (still) broke.
This is getting pretty frustrating. I've been a contributor to this wiki for a while, and my profile picture is still the default icon, which I believe gives off an impression of "noobishness" when viewing my profile. I've had my Gravatar correctly linked for a very long time. Any help with this would be fantastic. -- DigiDuncan! (talk) 20:06, 17 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I asked staff about this; they say to make sure that your avatar is rated G? I presume otherwise it won't show up correctly--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 14:30, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Sprites
How do you add a sprite? Minecraftexpert123 (talk) 14:44, 20 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Go to the sprite template in question (such as Template:InvSprite) and click "Edit sprite", right next to the normal edit button. All the sprites are organized into categories below; you can add one by clicking "New image" in the sprite-editing toolbar. When you're done, click save. It's a pretty simple and user-friendly way to update both the image and the module as needed at the same time.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 14:47, 20 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Ok, but how do you create an image? Minecraftexpert123 (talk) 15:54, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The icon can be found in the game files. Use an image editor to add it to the sprite sheet image. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Blobs2 (talk • contribs) at 16:42, 20 May 2020 (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * No i mean how do you create a new sprite image? Minecraftexpert123 (talk) 16:54, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Do you mean add an icon for a specific sprite? If so, we've already answered that; just edit the sprite and click "New image" and Blobs explained how you create the image itself to begin with. If you're talking about a whole new sprite sheet, I'm not sure exactly why we'd need one. Please elaborate on what you mean by "new sprite image", as what I thought you meant by that doesn't seem to be what you're referring to.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:59, 20 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I mean create a new sprite (one that doesnt exist,like the sprite for non-renewable resources in enviroment.)Minecraftexpert123 (talk) 17:11, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Again, you download the sprite sheet you want to expand, and add the sprite using an image editor. Once you have the new sprite sheet, upload it as a new version of the file. The BlobsPaper.png 19:44, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Can you give a small tutorial on how to do so? Minecraftexpert123 (talk) 21:47, 20 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Go to the sprite sheet you want to edit, for example BlockSprite. Click "Edit Sprite". Click "New Image". Upload a 16x16 image. I do not know what else to say, it really is that simple. – KnightMiner  · (t) 21:35, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Question
Why can't I edit the talk page of the main page? 111.88.15.200 10:40, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The talk page was semi-protected in 2013 because it is "99% junk". However, there has been a more recent movement to avoid indefinite protections.
 * If there is a good reason to keep the talk page protected, you can still propose changes here, or at Talk:Minecraft Wiki/editcopy. The BlobsPaper.png 15:19, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Protect Marketplace page
Marketplace keeps getting vandalized by an IP address. -Pepijn (talk) 20:28, 13 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Looks like they've stopped, but if it happens again warn them on their talk page. IPs don't get a notification if their edit is reverted AFAIK, and they may not know the History tab exists. Also, one IP disruptively editing usually isn't a reason to protect a page; warn them, try to get them to discuss, and if they refuse then contact an admin to block them.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:48, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

I don't know much about the VR version so I'd prefer not to update it personally, but it is marked as a stub so if you aren't able to update it hopefully another editor will be.

A tutorial for creating an infinite water source in only one block of water
We need more Tutorials for this Wiki, but it is vanilla. I found two ways to create an infinite water source in only one block. It is also possible on survival. Can we do it? Minelogic (talk) 05:19, 16 June 2020 (UTC)


 * If that's really the case, could you take some screenshots demonstrating this so we can figure out where to add it? You can upload images at Special:Upload and then add the image here using the syntax FILENAMEWITHEXTENSIONHERE . Unless it's something very intricate and detailed I doubt we'd need a whole tutorial on it, but it's certainly something should be added to this.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:40, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Remove the word filter for "S*xy!"
The splash "S*xy!" was changed to "Moderately attractive!" in 1.16 pre-3. However, the Wiki currently states that it used to be "Shrek see!", because the word it used to be is blocked; S-e-x-y-!. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by User-100192636 (talk • contribs) at 19 June 2020 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * Unfortunately, we can't disable filters for certain people; and since this is one of only a few cases where such a word could be used constructively, it doesn't make sense to remove the filter completely. However, if you run into a problem like this again, do let us know here, and we can certainly perform the edit for you. Additionally, once you have made at least 5 or so edits while logged in you will be exempt from most abuse filters. In this case, another user has already fixed the issue.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 18:20, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Someone removed the old .json code in a tutorial
I was browsing about behaviour packs and a way to make one, then I found that the manifest.json example in https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Creating_behavior_packs was very different from the one in resource packs tutorial.

Can you rollback the changes? Btw I already found the right files in Mojang's Vanilla Behaviour Pack example, so I can still progress through the tutorial.

Editing Talk:Minecraft Wiki (section)
I can't edit in the Talk section of a page. I sincerely don't appreciate it. I'm not using a VPN, nor a proxy. I'm getting this error:

Error: Your action has been disallowed by an automated edit filter. A brief description of the matched rule(s) for your action is: Extra protection for frequent spam targets

Thanks for checking. --Jahus (talk) 14:08, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The filter was implemented because ordinary protection has pretty much just two modes: 1) stop unregistered users only; 2) stop everyone but administrators. The page used to get a lot of edits (and looking at the filter's logs, still gets some every now and then) from new accounts that aren't appropriate for that page. While the talk page is intended solely to discuss the main page itself (which is, admittedly, what you were doing), people use it as a help desk, suggestions platform for Mojang, or a place to post of promotional material, gibberish, or non-English text.
 * Your edit causing a false positive activation of the edit filter is unfortunate (especially for someone's first experience). I implemented a warning notice specifically for that page, but I'm not certain all editors will see it.
 * As for your comment itself, I'm not sure the RTX beta from Xbox Insider would be a good fit for the main page given it's not even a "mainstream" development version. The combat test snapshots aren't there either, so I guess a discussion could be started for whether to include them. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 14:53, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Thanks for letting us know; for now I've created strider jockey as a redirect to the Strider page, so anyone searching for the former will automatically be taken to the latter. I don't think there's enough information about the strider jockey in particular that can't be said on the Strider page to warrant a separate article, but then again looking at other pages like Spider jockey this does seem to be done for other rideable mobs. If you think it should be its own page, I'd recommend starting a discussion on Talk:Strider.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 01:39, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Nether update biomes
You really need to add the description of the Nether biomes and what they are like you can take screenshots of all the different biomes so players like myself could see what they all look like I have never seen the Nether Wastelands and the basalt deltas I don't even know what they look like.

Error in Editing Nether Structures
I tried to edit the Structures page by correcting the info on the Nether Fortress and adding Nether Fossils and Bastion Remnants. When I tried to save the changes, it said I had removed a "significant portion" of the page and as a "new" user, it didn't allow me to save the edit. First of all, I did NOT try to remove a large part of the page. All I tried to do was remove a couple incorrect words from the Nether Structures table and add a couple of structures. Second of all, I am not a new user. My account has existed for months, maybe even years, and if I remember correctly, I have made several edits in the past. Please fix this error!

Change Semi-protection
I want semi-protection to be changed so that users must have made 10 edits and have an account that is at least 4 days old, similar to how it is on Wikipedia.

About Bedrock 1.16.20
if Bedrock 1.16.2 dont get released please make it a redirect page like Bedrock 1.16 redirects to Bedrock 1.16.0. 77.241.128.250 20:14, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 1.16.20 will get released eventually, not sure why you think it won't. Also, this page is generally for issues that require the help of an admin. General discussion belong in the community portal. The BlobsPaper.png 01:22, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

can you please reopen my bug
my bug https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-196972 is not fixed can you please fix this. 49.146.42.113 09:14, 4 August 2020 (UTC)


 * The Minecraft Wiki is not affiliated with the Mojira bugtracker. Plus, even the Mojira moderators can't fix the bug and Mojang themselves decide when to fix a bug. Elite hog (talk) 09:20, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The bug report was resolved not because it was fixed, but because it is a duplicate. The bug that it duplicates is still open, so nothing needs to be reopened. The BlobsPaper.png 18:52, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * For future reference, requests for the bugtracker should be made on its subreddit or Discord server. As Blobs mentioned, your report was resolved as a duplicate of a still open issue, so nothing needs to be done. – Sonicwave talk  19:08, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * But this is not a duplicate. 49.146.42.113 00:21, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

 * The screenshot at least shows the same issue as the report it's marked as a duplicate of. The wiki (especially this page in particular) is not the right place to discuss bugtracker issues; please move further discussion to the Mojira subreddit or discord linked above. – Sonicwave talk  00:57, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Finally back / RE Herobrine's page
Hello current Minecraft Wiki admins. I am Kizzycocoa, a former admin for a period of 8 years, if I recall correctly. I've finally regained control of my account following several years of waiting and back-and-forth with the staff. Apologies for the stray comment on the talk page - I am not permitted to remove it it seems. It has been a fair while.

Sadly, the way it has worked out, they've essentially had to fully reset my account. I'm about to go on a soul-search to reacquire old pages from the source code. It is going to take some time I fear, to convert the old HTML to wiki markup.

I had an agreement when I left the wiki team. I would be permitted to make edits to the Herobrine page. I had quite the extensive history there. Now that I have finally regained control, can I have that privilege reaffirmed?

Thanks in advance for your reply,

 * Great to see you back. :)


 * The Herobrine page is currently only semi-protected, so you (and any registered user) should be able to edit it, but let me know if you can't (I've also removed the duplicate post on the admin noticeboard talk page, as I presume that's what you wanted).--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 23:57, 6 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see. Opened it to the public? A tad risky, but I suppose by now, the meme has probably died down. Good to hear though, I suppose I only saw I couldn't edit it as I wasn't properly logged in.
 * Still, thanks for the reply and help! I wish there were some way that Gamepedia would recognise the true age of the account, but eh. I guess this is the best that can be done. All because Twitch screwed up my original account with an auto-deleted account that refused to merge, then GDPR wiped my page away. Bleh.


 * Thanks again! --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa (talk 00:01, 7 August 2020 (UTC)


 * The protection has been at its current level for a while now and it hasn't received an excessively large amount of disruptive edits. I remember how annoying it was before, where any registered user who wanted to modify the page would have to ask an admin to perform every single edit. And do note that it does still have semi-protection, so anonymous users are still not able to edit it. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Madminecrafter12 (talk • contribs) at 02:11, 7 August 2020 (UTC).

Piglin Brute page was vandalized earlier today
Due to repeated vandalism by ip addresses, I suggest that that page should be semi-protected for a week. Blockofnetherite (talk) 16:31, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Okay, that makes sense. Still unsure if the page should still be protected. We'll see. Blockofnetherite (talk) 02:02, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Looking at the abuse log (this is vague) the log captures on average 1 edit a day though the edits are usually clumped, about other vandalsim, idk.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 02:23, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Protect MCD:Creeping Winter
ip-addresses keep putting fake release dates with no source so like please protect, also make a filter that prevents new people from editing as new accounts also put fake release date. ---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 21:14, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Can't edit the page "Bedrock Dedicated Server" to explain how to fix an issue connecting on a local machine
I am trying to edit https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Bedrock_Dedicated_Server and add a new paragraph under the section "Connection" to explain how it's possible to connect to a BDS on Minecraft for Windows 10 on a local machine but I get the following as the error message: "Global AF - New user posting suspicious links". Everything after this sentence is exactly what I wanted to post to the page (I had to separate the offending URL with spaces and replace the "."s with DOT but if you go into the editor you can remove the spaces and replace the dots to see what I was trying to reference):

By default Minecraft for Windows 10 does not support connections to a server hosted on the same machine (where you connect via 127.0.0.1/localhost). To fix this you must launch Windows PowerShell as an administrator and run the following :

Should we keep reddit communities on the main page of no-longer-supported platforms?
For example, the one for Xbox 360 Edition. Should it stay on the main page, or be kept? Blockofnetherite Talk Contributions 01:04, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Are APNGs no longer supported ?
APNGs used to animate if you didn't reduce or enlarge their size. However, this is no longer supported. Should we change these backgrounds to white and convert them to GIFs? Pneuma01 (talk) 06:47, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Sprites can't be updated
Currently, the sprite editor is broken, so I tried to added Broken Anvil manually to BlockSprite and InvSprite by editing the module and image, but it didn't work. Sprites from InvSprite link to, which doesn't go to revision , but instead the "latest" revision, which actually uses revision  This means that Broken Anvil for InvSprite still shows  which is replaced with the actual Broken Anvil in the latest revision of InvSprite.png. I'm not sure if that is the problem, but that's what I think might be it. --Unavailablehoax (talk) 08:53, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I also confirmed that. I thought the reverse proxy server cache was lagging, but it's not going to go away after quite some time. Pneuma01 (talk) 10:07, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

The one reason is that Template:FileUrl, which is used in Module:Sprite, should be updated. (which was't returned by  before migration, at least I think so) need to be cut off. Then works well.--Chixvv (talk) 12:06, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It wasn't returned, but it seems versions need to be exact now. Just any version will not work. will show a blank image.
 * Can we check that all versions used in sprites are valid? --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 12:19, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, the caching issue may be fixable. I'm not sure we should hurry to update a key template in a manner that might break everything and end up useless. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 12:24, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know why you said the version used in sprites might be invalid. It doesn't need to be completely exact. For InvSprite.png, 20200823200309, 99999999999999, 1598212989555, 1598212999999, etc. work the same now. Template:FileUrl should be update anyway because it can't work properly now, which has nothing to do with caching issue, and simply cutting off  will not break any existing content.--Chixvv (talk) 13:19, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, it works? Probably just took too long for me to load at first. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 13:22, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Do you have some way to also retain support for downscaling images used as URLs? The format of them is, where is the width in pixels. I couldn't find a way to get a background image both use a scaled-down variant and the version string. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 13:36, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Now I have no idea. I think we have no way to make it with . How about discarding the parameter of size? Through searching, I found that no page uses this parameter. And if you like, we can also make FileUrl2 a separate template that uses to support for downscaling images.--Chixvv (talk) 15:17, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Protect Piglin
Now the main reason would be the change from hostile to neutral and back and forth.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 19:29, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Hostile
They are hostile because that is their default nature. Baby piglins spawn much less frequently than normal piglins and piglins are neutral if the player is wearing gold armor a very specific term, if we called piglins neutral, why is the drowned called hostile? they are passive during the day, that is why that terminalogy is incorrect, most of the edits that change hostile to neutral are from ip-adrresses so it would be nice to protect it with semi protection.
 * Suggesting that the categories of "hostile", "neutral", and "friendly" mobs are disbanded due to definition ambiguities with whether a mob is neutral or not. I believe the categories are always replaceable, including by more detailed introduction sections. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 20:00, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
