Add a page for the Minecraft Edu Edition "Ender Communicator"
This item is only found in Edu Edition, and only in the Hour of Code 2020 map, which is one of the demo lessons. It allows the player to travel between 2 locations. The Villager Town or the Illager Town. AviatorLawsome (talk) 11:42, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Error on Wild Update page.
On the Wild update page It shows the Warden and the Deep Dark biome, however they are being added in the 1.18 C&CII Update not the 1.19 Wild Update. I cannot fix this as an error shows up so I am asking someone else to do it. – Unsigned comment added by Infrasound7 (talk • contribs) at 18:57 UTC October 16 (UTC). Sign comments with

Vandalism on Concrete Page
Someone vandalised the concrete page and replaced all the 'Concrete' with 'Dinnerbone', as well as turning Java into Fava, and Bedrock into Badrock, etc. Can someone pleace fix that? -Infrasound7

Please create a page called "Criticism of Minecraft"

 * Why? That's what Wikipedia is for. See Minecraft. Wikipedia would give the topic more encyclopedic treatment. It's sort of outside the scope of the Minecraft wiki. Amatulic (talk) 05:02, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Can't type Minecraft preset (admin keeps blocking it)
I made new Minecraft preset. I tried to make a new page with the preset, but the admin keeps blocking it, as it says, it has unwanted words. But it was only Minecraft preset.

 * I'm not an admin and have no idea what would've triggered that abuse filter, but the page you're describing is not something that would meet this wiki's notability guidelines, which disallow pages regrading fan-made content. If that's still something you want to get posted to the wiki, it would have to be a subpage of your user page – JEC talk @ 15:41, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I also changed the filter a bit. I suspect it was causing an issue because of the "lapisSize" property. --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 10:29, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Undeleting a very old image
On the main page, alongside File:Minecraft.png there used to be another file, File:Minecraft2.png, captioned "Epic cityscapes", which has long since been deleted (and doesn't show up on the internet archive either: http://web.archive.org/web/20090621202937/http://minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page). Since this was one of the very first images ever added to the wiki and since its companion is still around and still being used on the classic page, I think it deserves to be undeleted so it can be seen again by the modern world. AlienAgent124 (talk) 07:50, 1 May 2022 (UTC)


 * . – Sonicwave talk   22:05, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks a ton, and while we're on the subject of undeleting old files, I noticed something else: the files File:Cavern 1.png, File:Cavern 3.png and File:AlexVMiner's Spleef Arena.png are some of the only known screenshots of the missing version 0.0.21a_01. However, the user who uploaded these images also uploaded another image on the same day as those three, File:Cavern2.png, which was deleted. This was probably also taken in the same version so it's probably also one of the few existing screenshots of this version, so it definitely ought to be undeleted too.


 * There's probably at least a few more old deleted screenshots on here that are of versions now lost, but it would be difficult to tell which ones without undeleting them first. AlienAgent124 (talk) 00:30, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Cavern2.png is just an extremely cropped lava texture. Feel free to add more files here to look at undeleting.  Nixinova   T   C   05:49, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Fix false positives regarding edit filter 50
I have pointed out many false positives regarding edit filter 50, called "Tag character spam", by adding hex colors, such as #333333, #999999, etc., hence I proposed to fix the false positives to that edit filter. DeepLineMadom (talk) 07:27, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It kicks in, however, only for users with less than 10 edits. I think that's reasonable, and unlikely to generate false positives. Amatulic (talk) 18:15, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Beetroot Seeds Usages
I just made an account to delete a section under the Beetroot Seeds. The trading part relates to Beetroot, not Beetroot seeds.

iron golem spawn volume conditions are in conflict in 2 pages for bedrock edition
For Bedrock edition,

wiki says "The golem attempts to spawn in a 16×12×16 volume around the village center defined by a bed or a bell." in https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Iron_Golem#Spawning page.

However;

wiki says "... 16×6×16 volume around the village center." in https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Iron_Golem#Spawning page.

 * I believe your second link was intended to link to the Tutorials/Iron golem farming, where you saw this discrepancy.
 * Always assume that article pages are more correct than tutorial pages. Articles contain actual technical information based on testing and code examination. Tutorials pages were originally created as a way to keep "how to" advice out of the articles, so that the articles contain only information about the game and not how to play it. Many tutorials are dumping grounds for fancruft and youtube videos, although I've tried to keep some of them clean and up to date, such as the ones about farming drowned, iron golems, axolotls, zombie villagers, and water transportation.
 * I missed the change for the iron golem farming article. Thanks for pointing it out.
 * The spawn volume changed after 1.17.30. I have fixed the tutorial page so now they both agree. Amatulic (talk) 17:07, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Error with loot chests
All locations where there would be a table of a loot chest normally instead have this text: "Lua error in Module:LootChest at line 3817: attempt to index field 'rolls' (a nil value)." Not sure what all of that means but I think it needs administrator attention. I have not posted before so please forgive any mistakes in my formatting.

 * User:AttemptToCallNil made a bunch of edits to the module in the past two days. It may have been the result of that. I left a note on their talk page. Amatulic (talk) 14:44, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The error was introduced in edit 2136652, I actually fixed it. Because of that edit, several upcoming pool lists became part of ordinary pool lists (they were supposed to be sibling nodes) and were interpreted by the module as one of the pools. Since the upcoming lists ended up empty after the edit, the module crashed due to absence of some critical fields that all pools are expected to have. --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 06:47, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Navigation popups gadget no longer working
Since the recent wiki software update that finished earlier today, the 'navigation popups' gadget (see user preferences / gadgets) has stopped working. I rely on this gadget heavily to preview diffs in my watchlist and in recent changes, and also for patrolling edits.

It would be nice if the ping template started working with this new update. Testing pinging : Did you get notified of that ping? Amatulic (talk) 16:38, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I submitted an updated version of the popups gadget for JS review. It worked for me in test mode. As for pings, I'm not sure, but I think the issue is with the custom notification system used, which won't work no matter how much MediaWiki is updated. --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 17:06, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Navigation popups is now working again for me.
 * It's a pity about the pings. That is an incredibly useful feature for those of us who 2000 pages on our watch list. Amatulic (talk) 00:17, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I take that back. Navigation popups appears, but the "mark as patrolled" option is no longer there under the top heading. Amatulic (talk) 00:19, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * That's most likely an upstream change, so if this option is necessary, it will have to be re-implemented by local admins, which is a non-trivial task. --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 03:15, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, the navigation popups gadget had to be implemented by someone in the first place, and it was done originally at my request after I tested it by pulling it in from MediaWiki. That conversation is at Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard/Archive 33. User:Madminecrafter12 originally imported it and made it available in user preferences. The gadget did need some tweaking before it started working really well, particularly with patrolling. User:Majr fixed up that feature. User:Jack McKalling also participated. I guess it needs to be looked at again. Amatulic (talk) 23:43, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Inappropriate username
There is a user named Minecraft Wiki Administrator which is misleading because the user is definitely not an admin. Is it preferable to rename the account, or should the user just create another account? Fadyblok240 (talk) 02:52, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Blocked indefinitely. BDJP (t 03:06, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Is it a soft block or a hard block? If the username is the only problem with the account, then a hard block may not be justified. Sure, the edit made by the user isn't constructive, but we may not know whether the user is editing with malicious intent without letting the user make more edits. Fadyblok240 (talk) 03:10, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * In this case, because the user had "Admin" or "Adminstrator" in their name, it generally falls under a hard block. Some accounts with that word in their username haven’t even edited (or their contributions were deleted) before being blocked. BDJP (t 03:28, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Important question
Is the official Technoblade easter egg on the Minecraft Launcher allowed on this wiki? (It is an official easter egg from Mojang.) I am having a dispute with another user about this. Minermatt122514 (talk) 21:09, 2 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I think that you are correct on the matter. Technoblade's crown is a feature built into the game that is important to address in the article, and disallowing it because it's "advertising a youtuber" just seems a bit silly to me. A note to both of you, however (pinging and ), repeatedly reverting each other's edits over and over, especially spamming ALL CAPS in the edit summaries, is never a way to solve a dispute, and risks being blocked over. Next time, if something like this happens, I'd recommend starting a discussion somewhere to solve the issue, either on that page's talk page or just here (which I'm glad you did do eventually). --Madminecrafter12 (talk) 04:38, 3 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I sure wish the ping feature actually did something on this wiki. Amatulic (talk) 15:16, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Abuse filter
Can you please remove the abuse filter when removing sections? I am redirecting the page Heartstealer to the page Claymore#Heartstealer, and then the abuse filter disallowed me from removing a section. Can you please remove the abuse filter? 110.54.116.150 (talk) at 10:25 UTC July 13, 2022
 * I'd say no. It would have negative consequences in other situations, and the redirect is bad anyway; there is no "heartstealer" section on the MCD:Claymore page. If you want this done, fix the destination page first and then ask someone with a confirmed account to fix the redirect. Amatulic (talk) 17:57, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

 * One of the lines changed in the IP's edit included a blocked string inside another word which triggered the abuse filter, even though it was already there and not touched directly by the edit.

 * It should be fixed now. Just be careful of how you move pages around so that the actual page history stays with the page, instead of just copypasting the contents to the correct location. If you aren't able to move the page directly back to its original title, it may be better to wait for an admin to delete the incorrect pages so it can be restored correctly; or see Wikipedia's instructions on Round robin moves for how to resolve such a situation yourself. – Sonicwave talk  05:35, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

More broken functionality
Since the recent wiki software update a month or so ago, I have noticed, in addition to the "patrol" feature disappearing from the Popups gadget, now diffs no longer have a "thank" option. I found this useful to acknowledge when someone corrected something I did. Amatulic (talk) 04:51, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * : It's not broken, bacause it appears on history pages. It seems to be a change made by staff on some config option for the extension globally. We could try to request it to get reverted back to how it was before, but we'd need a good reason anyway. Thejoaqui777 (talk) 13:57, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The good reason is that it was a useful communication aid that should still be available. Another reason might be that an "upgrade" to wiki software shouldn't result in downgraded functionality.
 * I never used it from history pages. I use "thank" from diff pages, where it used to work quite well.
 * As for page patrolling via popups, I do that from my watchlist. I don't recall it ever worked from history pages. Amatulic (talk) 21:50, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I thanked you from the history section as a test, and it works. TheGreatSpring (talk | contribs) 21:53, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Info on Formatting codes in minecraft and specifically Book & Quill (java)
Info on Formatting codes in minecraft and specifically Book & Quill regarding Java version; there was a change in the 1.18.1 update which allows for formatting text in book & quill in game, this works on the current releases as well. Can the wiki(s) be updated to reflect this? Bjornolil (talk) 20:29, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * That change can be done by everybody (including you), so I am not sure what are we discussing here right now. Also a friendly reminder, this page is for requesting action/comment of wiki admins (specifically), otherwise everything should go on Community portal or to respective talk pages. --TreeIsLife (talk) 21:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Several IP edits tried to add info regarding the use of the paragraph symbol for formatting to the page, but these edits were reverted. For good reason. Formatting is not possible in Java Edition using just that symbol. Although the symbol might have said effect, using it is not possible without hacking the client or using 3rd party software. Formatting with the paragraph symbol has been replaced with raw JSON text formatting. That is the recommended method for applying formatting, as the underlying functionality of the paragraph symbol is going to be phased out at some point. Although not explained in this much words in the corrective edit summaries, this is what was explained and that is why this information is not added to said page. Assuming you're referring to the paragraph symbol. Jack McKalling (talk) 22:14, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Although json may be the "correct" way to format, the section sign can also be used, even in vanilla clients prior to 1.14 and later than 1.18.1 I have tested that on two different computers, my laptop (Windows 11), my desktop(Linux Mint 21). I do not use hacked clients, however I did use notepad to type the character first as I am aware it can't be typed directly in java edition, is that considered a third-party software then?. How to reproduce this: Open minecraft launcher, start a new game (any version where books are available (except 1.14-1.18.1). Copy the character § from notepad after typing it, paste in minecraft book, then type any format character (0-9,a-f, k-o) then type, the typed text will then be formatted.

I am sorry that I used the wrong page, however the first text on the community page includes this text: "..discussions about a single page do not belong here", so I wasn't sure where else to post it. Bjornolil (talk) 04:56, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Delete old add-on tutorials
Hi, as you might now a few weeks ago I proposed to delete old add-on tutorials, citing low activity, them being generally incomplete/unfinished and having better resources on places like wiki.bedrock.dev and official Microsoft docs.

Given the lack of interest, despite having deletion requests, right on the pages themselves, I decided to give a heads up that I would post the deletion request, if I didn't have any objections by the next weekend. That time has come. I thinks it's fair to say, that if anyone would have wanted to step up and maintain the pages, they'd have spoken up already.

Which is why I'm requesting to delete them. They've served their purpose and now they're effectively superseded by official docs.

I've updated the deletion requests to link to this page. -Madman1995 (talk) 18:48, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Edit filter problem
In Talk:Bedrock Edition guides/Nether Update, I edited a section about the global moderation system. If you look in the edit summary, you can see “1.16.100 or 1.16.101… (added in hyperlinks due to edit filter claiming I posted a server IP x6, this is not vandalism x5)“. I believe the edit filter go mixed up because 1. I was not posting a server IP, and 2. It is not vandalism. I don’t know why this happened. 1.158.238.102 08:41, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I see your attempts in https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Special:AbuseLog?wpSearchTitle=Talk%3ABedrock+Edition+guides%2FNether+Update but I also see that you eventually were able to add it by redlinking them. The edit filter kicked in because you are editing from an Australian IP address that is new here, and you started out by posting a sequence of dot-delimited numbers that look like a server IP address in Korea. Once your IP address is no longer "new" (meaning it has made at least 10 edits) there should be no problem. Amatulic (talk) 17:39, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Version numbers look like IP addresses, I guess. And also, I hope to get 10 edits soon, so this wouldn’t be a problem in the future. 1.158.238.102 22:00, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

 * That is a subject more suitable for the Community Portal, as it doesn't need any admin intervention. Jack McKalling (talk) 21:15, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @ Take a look at Category:Java Edition versions, Category:Bedrock Edition versions etc.  Nixinova   T </b>  C </b></b>  06:03, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm talking about list of every version on one page ProXzz1 (talk) 17:57, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * We already have such lists. See for example Bedrock Edition version history and Java Edition version history. You are welcome to make improvements to them. Amatulic (talk) 19:19, 5 January 2023

(UTC) Y'all don't get it, huh? I am talking about a page, where every update of every edition and maybe every game can be seen, something like development history on java pages ProXzz1 (talk) 12:12, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Remove the Sound section on the Spawn Egg page
Spawn eggs make no sound whatsoever, so having a sound section is useless. – Unsigned comment added by Nucleartoast999 (talk • contribs) at 02:47, 29 December 2022 (UTC). Sign comments with
 * No, they make a sound when a mob is spawned, but it's a mob sound. The section says that, and it's useful information, so I disagree that it should be removed. Amatulic (talk) 19:12, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Vandal: 213.64.230.206
I dealt with a beginning spammer/vandal on several pages now, but they've just hit my user page too. Special:Contributions/213.64.230.206. - Jack McKalling (talk) 19:35, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * They are currently active, and one of their edits that is still the current revision, cannot be undone due to my correcting edit matching a blacklist filter (how could theirs have made it through then?!). -Jack McKalling (talk) 19:42, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Handled, not sure which filter you ran into though. – Sonicwave talk  19:59, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Nixinova: retiring my admin and bureaucrat perms
Since I have been virtually inactive over the past year with regard to my use of elevated rights, I've retired my administrator and bureaucrat roles on the wiki as I am no longer active enough to justify having them. There is now just one bureaucrat, so maybe someone should be promoted to fill my place  Nixinova </b>  T </b>  C </b></b>  05:17, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * My activity has waned also but I still check in 3 or 4 times per week, mostly to reduce the backlog of pending deletions (and I've taken a big chunk out of it since I became an administrator here). On English Wikipedia, the only things a bureaucrat can do are promote editors to administrators or bureaucrats and rename accounts. Is the same is true here? I could take it on. I don't expect I'll be needing the 'crat abilities much, however.
 * I do think we need an administrator with expertise in Minecraft Dungeons. I've been active in that namespace, but only doing gnomish maintenance work like getting things into compliance with the style guide. I don't play the game so I don't know much about it. I play only Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
 * On the other hand, what harm does it do for you to keep the permissions, even if you're inactive? Amatulic (talk) 21:00, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Bureaucrats can also promote patrollers, bots and directors and delete individual revisions in accordance with the RevisionDelete policy. Neither of these should be much additional workload though, and SOAP members here can also handle RevDel requests. – Sonicwave talk  18:45, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, it appears that I have the "bureaucrat" attribute now.
 * Hmm. I don't really feel any different. :) If anything needs doing, let me know. Amatulic (talk) 23:16, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Continuous Blocking
To whom it may concern, I keep trying to upload my contribution to the wiki, but it keeps disallowing my contribution because of “Extra protection for frequent spam targets,” Can someone explain this to me? – Unsigned comment added by Susolotl (talk • contribs) at 22:51, 4 April 2023 (UTC). Sign comments with


 * You are trying to edit Talk:Minecraft Wiki which has some extra protections as it's a common spam target. That page is also just for discussing changed to the main page. Additionally the content you are trying to add is referring to modded content, which doesn't get documented on this wiki. --MarkusRost (talk) 23:19, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Resource Pack article needs the last edit to be reverted
The font category on has had the JSON tree describing custom fonts all messed up in the previous edit by User:ATizuHD. I attempted to undo the change since it was invasive, but it involved removing a section which was added (a redundant section), and I was flagged by the auto filter as a New Contributor as I don't often make edits here. I request that an admin revert the edit and fix the page. – Unsigned comment added by Dominexis (talk • contribs) at 01:27, 17 April 2023‎ (UTC). Sign comments with

Update DidYouKnow
The "Did You Know" facts have not been updated for a while now. Would one of the admins like to sync it with the editcopy? Windwend (talk) 22:13, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm happy to help, but I need to learn more. Is there some sort of vetting process to determine what goes into the editcopy? And is there an easy way to sync it other than copying and pasting? Amatulic (talk) 15:30, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I don't have access to the admin view so I don't know how it is done, sorry I can't help directly on this. But I'd imagine there is some kind of "sync with editcopy" button, similar to the "diff with editcopy" button that non-admins have access to. Maybe another admin would be able to teach you how to do it. Windwend (talk) 18:22, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * There isn't any way to sync it besides copy-paste (and looking at the "diff with editcopy" to see the changes), and no vetting process for the editcopy, although it looks like Windwend has been the only one updating it for the most part. – Sonicwave talk  19:28, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Who keeps reverting my edits on Mob?
I'm just fixing some typos and someone is reverting all of my changes. – Unsigned comment added by CeresTheDwarf (talk • contribs). Sign comments with
 * These are your changes. The only typo fix I could find was your change from "behavior" to "behaviour"; however, per the spelling guidelines, this is actually incorrect. SLScool 15:01, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
 * In addition you've switched around some mobs from previous mob votes, introducing incorrect information on the page. Please do not reinstate these changes again. – Sonicwave talk  18:46, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Sprites are all broken
I notice that all the sprites are not loading properly, including block sprites, entity sprites and so on. Does anyone know what has caused this, and how this may be fixed? Windwend (talk) 16:58, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Correction: Entity sprites seem to be working, but block sprites are not. Take this Silk Touch page for example. My hypothesis is that sprites do not work in wikitables only. But they work in the Blocks template page which is quite weird. Windwend (talk) 17:01, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Fandom pushed an update to fix sprites inside portable infoboxes today. This seems to have unintentionally broken all widgets complete. A high priority ticket has been filed. MarkusRost (talk) 17:13, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, can you paste a link to the ticket? Windwend (talk) 17:17, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * It's a ticket on Fandom's private Jira instance, so I can't link it. However it's a "P1: Critical" so a fix or at least revert is expected soon. MarkusRost (talk) 17:25, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
