Proofreading
The article is greatly lacking in substantive/valuable information, but I went through and fixed several grammar and spelling related blunders to improve the formality of the article. Authors should consider proofreading in the future. Cholo71796 04:46, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

I will check for more errors, Cholo. I belive people shuld proofread, too. I might even proofread the WHOLE WIKI! TexasMike10

Remove Redirect
This page should be an article, not a redirect to the Main Page. It should explain the concepts of Minecraft and a brief history. Something like Minecraft, although we will have to rewrite it to fit this Wiki.

If you need to see how we should write this article, look here:
 * http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/RuneScape
 * http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_warcraft
 * http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Team_Fortress

So as you can see, it's mostly what our Gameplay article was about, until now that it has became more about the Game Modes. The Gameplay article should redirect to here. --Scykei 06:03, 29 November 2010 (UTC)


 * It's a redirect to the main page because the main page contains all that description of the game. "Minecraft is a sandbox construction game, inspired by Infiniminer" and so forth. There is a redundancy in offering the information on both -- one version could lag. If there were enough information that we wanted to provide that it would not fit on the main page, then I would agree it would be appropriate to split the information off here, leaving only a summary there. --Eskay 00:07, 29 November 2010 (CST)


 * Don't know if it's too early but maybe it should have some sort of fancy redesign? :P Have all sorts of polls, did you knows, featured articles/images, oh my! :D --Scykei 00:21, 29 November 2010 (CST)
 * I would agree that this should be an article giving a general overview of the game. The content on the main page can be (and should be) changed eventually, as it really doesn't belong there. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  18:23, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Renovation
This is the Minecraft Wiki, I am surprised the minecraft article is a stub. It would be much better to have a better in depth history of the game with pictures and such. Maybe a separate page for the History of Minecraft should be considered. Also talking a little bit of game play, and goals (or the joys of not having goals) in Minecraft. The Up coming versions for Android, iOS, and Xbox, Multilayer game play, and Other aspects of the game and the community surrounding this game would give someone unfamiliar a glimpse of what a unique and great game this is. --Tgpqaz 21:08, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a fine idea to me. Write it! --Eskay 03:37, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Noticed A lot of Articles and other things don't refer back here, also, maybe there should be a separate Minecraft (Computer) to reflect the platform explanation of the game, while this one would sum up general minecraft gameplay, history, and different platforms. Edit:I've  doubled tripled the size of the article.--Tgpqaz 17:14, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Yay!!! Now its not a stub! The way it should be(By which i mean it shouldn't be a stub).--Tgpqaz 22:39, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Funny thing is, Notch actually preferred the old article. http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/81867527868792832 – ultradude25 ( T at 03:01, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Wow, huh, well, I thought it was good idea.... --Tgpqaz 04:10, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * As I stated above I wanted to improve the article, and make it a detailed overview of the game instead of the two paragraph stub that it was a few days ago. This article should be a central part of the wiki, not a stub. I tried to fix my mistakes, but my goal was to set a framework for a great article. I respect notch, even if he preferred the old article but I'm happy with my work. If someone wants to redo everything, be my guest,  as long as the end result is a solid, comprehensive, detailed article on Minecraft, similar to the Wikipedia article on Minecraft, but suited to this wiki with more details on how the game is played.--Tgpqaz 15:41, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Minecraft is unique in many ways. So we should make this article unique. To do that, we could add things like special polls for major events, such as polls for the minecraft 1.3 update. TexasMike10

Minecraft for iOS
I saw that there were rumors about the Minecraft game was coming to the ipad, ipod touch and iphone... But I don't know about that. In E3 it was announced for Xbox360 and i was guessing if there was going to go for the iOS's.

Please reply telling me, PLEASE!!!

P.S.: Please tell me, everyone, when is it going to be released (maybe)... –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Marcelard (Talk&#124;Contribs) 18:15, 30 June 2011. Please sign your posts with

Copyright thing doesn't work.
It says "The file public/copyright does not exist " when I went to the page. Can we have this fixed or is this the actual license? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.136.58.148 (Talk) 15:31, 16 September 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * Yea it seems they removed that page... Maybe that link should be removed on this page--Tgpqaz 17:44, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Some of the pages on that site are strangely missing, they probably will fix it--Tgpqaz 17:50, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Edit?
Well towards the bottom it says that it's sold over 3 million copies, but since Minecraft just hit 4 million shouldn't it be changed? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.118.143.0 (Talk) 21:41, 7 November 2011. Please sign your posts with
 * Sure. And for continuity purposes, new subjects on talk pages go on the bottom of the page. --Saphireking65 21:43, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Code freeze should read feature freeze
A code freeze means no changes on the code which would prohibit bug fixes. What is actually meant is a feature freeze where only existing features are improved and no new features are introduced. --77.13.35.13 –The preceding undated comment was added on 16:45, 11 November 2011.

Minecraft EDU
http://minecraftedu.com/ Near the bottom of the page there are "other versions of minecraft" listed. It have Minecraft 4k and the PC Demo listed, should Minecraft EDU be included? It is a version of minecraft.. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Throex (Talk&#124;Contribs) 01:37, 14 November 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * Minecraft EDU is a mod/server/external program. It uses the same version of minecraft and just modifies it, it isn't its own version. (Also it's 3rd party) – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 02:15, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Typo
Hi, found a typo: "se the Lightweight Java Gaming Libary (LWJGL)" The word "library" is misspelled, but I can't change it myself. Thanks. 129.123.212.134 18:34, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Requirements
I posted a suggestion at Talk:Hardware performance to add system requirements to either the Minecraft article or to Talk:Hardware performance. The Android Pocket Edition article has requirements, so I feel the PC version should too. -Aurelius 20:03, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Minecraft Xbox 360
In the 'Future' section there is another part about the upcoming Xbox 360 version of Minecraft. It there it states that it shall be released on Winter 2011, although that can't be true because it is now February 2012!

Minecraft on apple devices
Minecraft on my ipod is amazing! it's my favorite game but I have a few complaints...

- The crafting is easy but I would like it to be like the PC version.

- I've run out of inventory space and the next update doesn't include chests.

- Mojang keeps moving the 0.4.0 update later and later –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Bens242 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 19:23, 21 May 2012. Please sign your posts with

about Minecraft
I thnk this game stills awesome!Until and the snapshots are the best!--ChaosThePerfect 21:24, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

do not know what to do
I found wood in a huge underground cavern I have not checked it out yet but going to soon, do you know why it is there?

Well...this is weird
On minecraft pe, whenever I look at lava it starts making ashes fly everywhere and the app crashes. When I next launch the app,(after i try lots of things to bring it up) the whole world is gone except the bedrock. WTF?!?!

Suggestion
Someone recently deleted the old SMP image; i understand the reason for needing to update it, but may i suggest a comparison instead of a replacement? Say, have the images one on top of another? Trigger hurt 14:25, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Issues with the Demo
There is an issue with the Demo version of Minecraft. This game's pause screen pops up randomly on Windows 8 PCs (such as mine) if you do not fullscreen. This should be fixed immediately.
