{{#vardefine:weekly-server|13w02b }
Not sure what wiki-fu that's used for, but I bet it's not supposed to be visible on the main page. --208.107.40.227 18:41, 11 January 2013 (UTC)


 * That is part of the template used to display the current versions of Minecraft. Looks like when it was updated to 13w02b, a bracket was accidentally removed. An admin should fix it shortly.  18:46, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

This page: More than half vandalism
It seems that about 70% of edits on this page that aren't reverts get reverted. This means this page gets vandalized a lot. Is there any way to stop that, like running a bot to stop the words "herobrine" and "server" or only allowing people with accounts to edit this page? HotdogPi ⑬㊲ 02:45, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Forgot to mention that I'm talking about the talk page. (The main page is protected.) HotdogPi ⑬㊲ 02:46, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Current Pocket Edition version
This should be updated from "0.5.0" to "0.6.0". –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Droideka30 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 00:15, 31 January 2013‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * For future reference, version template update reminders should go on Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard or just the Template talk:Version page. The front page simply displays Template:Version.  05:08, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Its 6.1 now. --007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 06:16, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Someone fix the "Current Versions" box
It looks horrible --190.173.208.212 09:25, 4 February 2013 (UTC)


 * What is wrong with it? Please elaborate and if it's screwed up and not just to your taste, provide what browser you are using and a screenshot.  18:10, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Current versions - Development is out of date.
The "current versions" box still says that 13w05b is the latest snapshot, when it should say 13w06a. A Moon 12:15, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

It's still set to the old pre release.71.178.36.123 13:32, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

And it is STILL the case. --89.245.238.169 12:21, 11 February 2013 (UTC)


 * It has been changed to 13w06a on February 7th, the day it came out. I suggest you guys clear your cache, since it's a problem on your end, not here.  18:10, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Pi Edition
With the release of the Minecraft Pi Edition now here, we need to add the version to the main page as a version of Minecraft GingerGeek 19:24, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Slight error
Ortothope, you made a slight error when updating the page (see the Upcoming features section). Also why is it that you didn't copy over the pictures in the version history to the main page? –  Goandgoo ᐸ  Talk  Contribs  Edit count 07:26, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I personally like ultradude25's picture idea for the version numbers, but it is a bigger change. A change like that needs to sit a little longer for more exposure before it is committed to the main page. It is a lesson learned (wordlessly, and by my deduction) by Quatroking's new logo, and probably why the header on the editcopy has been sitting there for ages, even before I messed with it.  07:33, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Thought I fixed the Upcoming Features bit when previewing, not sure why it didn't save. Anyway, I was mostly just updating the news, waiting on more discussion about the style changes. -- Orthotope 08:35, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Why was Snapshot Removed?
The main page used to link to the latest snapshot, but since the release of 1.5 it was removed. Not to mention that there already is a new snapshot out for version 1.5.1 --24.220.123.1 17:02, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * It's still there??? –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 17:03, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Nope. Just a link to the mojang website, no link to the wiki snapshot page. --24.220.123.1 17:06, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * You must have some major cache issues then, because aside from the brief period between the release of 1.5 and the release of the latest snapshot where there wasn't a current snapshot so nothing was shown there, it's right where it's always been. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 17:38, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Clearing the browser cache fixed my problem. :P Thanks for the help. --24.220.123.1 18:34, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

What is a token for a server?
Hi, I just made a new server. It says to finish claiming the server, I need to add a token to the server's MoTD. I don't know what that is. I sound like a noob. But please tell me what it is and how I add a "token". Thanks! Bye!

 * That sounds like something related to whatever host or server listing service you're using, so look through the information on their website. The 'token' will be a specifically-formatted bit of text that you'll put on the 'motd=' line in your server.properties file. -- Orthotope 19:57, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Optifine 1.5 Bug
when i try to install optifine 1.5 my world turns into crap and every block says Missing Textures. i Really need optifine because my minecraft is realy Slow So PLEASE HELP –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Herobrinesbutter (Talk&#124;Contribs). Please sign your posts with


 * Typically, a post like this would simply get removed, since we do not help with mods and this is the talk page for the main page. Only topics concerning the main page are put here, as outlined in the notice you didn't read at the top of the page. I'll be nice and help though. Click here to hopefully fix your issue.  23:08, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Make sure that you installed the full opti-fine, not just the 1.5 patch. SpamTheClicker 01:28, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Minecraft reddit link.
There should be a link to reddit: www.reddit.com/r/minecraft –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Tables (Talk&#124;Contribs) 22:01, 1 April 2013 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * The links we support on the left side of the page and on the front page are either Mojang official or Curse-related. The Minecraft subreddit is community-ran and is not official.  22:46, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Update upcoming features box: MCXBOX has The End
Just saying that since the Xbox Edition now has The End, while the update box still calls it upcoming.

Minecraft Server I can Join but not friends
I need help i port fowarded,I allowed minecraft threw Firewall but still i can connect but not my friends WGK2 17:26, 13 April 2013 (UTC)


 * This is not the correct page for it. Maybe here. ChickenSig.png ILeon ᐸ Diskussion Beiträge DE Admin 17:29, 13 April 2013 (UTC)


 * There is no correct place on this wiki for server addresses. Go to the help forum or join the IRC help channel to get assistance.  18:23, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

€19.95 ($26.95 USD)
Any reason why € is first and USD is in brackets? Shouldn't it just be "€19.95 or $26.95 USD", not marking any one less important than the other? --5ives 03:06, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * It's not really about importance, it's just a common way to display conversion. The game is based in a country that uses Euros and is available to purchase with Euros. The USD amount is merely the current amount Mojang has chosen and it's entirely possible the amount could raise (or lower lol) if the conversion ratio changes by a decent amount. It's also a little bit about consistency since that's how the USD amount for the Microsoft Points below are displayed.  03:12, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I get it now though I would like to point out that Sweden no longer uses Euros, they currently use Swedish kronor. --121.79.3.94 07:15, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

"Purchase the PC edition!"
"Purchase the computer edition!" should say "Purchase the PC edition!". Possibly to avoid confusion for people who confuse the term 'PC' with Windows computers add "Purchase the PC edition! (Linux/Mac/Windows)". --5ives 03:44, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * That confusion is the reason we changed it to computer in the first place. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 03:57, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * But it's inconsistently unsuitable (making it seem redundant), and naive. We can still avoid confusion while keeping consistent suitableness. --121.79.3.94 07:48, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
