I want post an image
Hi, I'm new in the wiki, I've only registered to post an image, that shows a sugar cane that naturally spawned in the top of leaves. I don't know how to do this. If you or someone could explain to me or even post that for I would thank you. And, sorry for my English I'm Brazilian.

Thanks, Marcelo –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Jarrick (Talk&#124;Contribs) 20:27, 6 April 2012. Please sign your posts with

Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox
Hiya! just messaging all other admins about my project, the Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox. This sandbox initiative is going to try to gauge what the community wants page-wise, and where they want the wiki to go. the plan is to use that, and see if the wiki can go that way, if our rules need improving, or if it is not viable to go in certain directions with the wiki. So, there will be many pages that break our current rules, that will be located at "Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox/PAGENAMES". I'm just messaging to request, unless it is blatant spam, please don't delete these pages. There is a system to delete these pages if they are too low quality, or not active enough, and a system to tell users what has been deleted, and why. as well as informing them if a page will never be reconsidered. This section of the wiki is to see if we can push the rules, and if we should we push the rules. I welcome other admins to help take part in this project, to see how the wiki can viably adapt to the community. Have a good day! :) --Kizzycocoa 22:26, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

 * how does a powered rail work? cause they dont really work for me,
 * can i make moss stone?

 * all the villages ive been to had no golems, why?

confused soul, --Cheetahfur 19:45, 11 April 2012 (UTC)


 * You weren't kidding, Cheetahfur. =) One at a time:
 * Unlike on some other wikis, there is no set process for requesting or gaining adminship on this wiki; the best thing to do is simply to start editing, make high-quality edits, and show that you're willing to work in an area (and actually be good at working in that area) where the admin tools would be a net benefit. In my case, I've done a certain amount of technical work here (on templates, though not nearly as much as I've done on other wikis), and after my initial request for adminship fell flat (I asked on User talk:Quatroking, though I'm going to tell you now that asking for adminship here won't get you very far), I simply started editing. After quite a while, Curse wanted some additional admins for the English wiki, and Wynthyst (who acts a bit as a community liaison between the wiki and Curse) asked me if I'd be interested. Basically, demonstrate that you're a trustworthy, capable editor who would benefit from the tools, don't make a nuisance of yourself, and be patient, and you may get to be an admin eventually. ;)
 * I don't really know; I've never played much with them myself. They should work for you if you have a Redstone Torch next to them and allow a minecart (whether you're in it or not) to get the expected boost. Other than that, the only thing I could tell you is to read the Powered Rail article.
 * You can't currently; you have to find it in generated dungeons.
 * That would be a mushroom biome. The giant mushrooms are Giant Mushrooms, and the grass is Mycelium. There should also be red-and-white cows with mushrooms on their backs, called Mooshrooms, there.
 * What version of Minecraft are you running? If you haven't upgraded to the latest version, golems may not spawn because they may not be in the version you're running.
 * Basically, it's like a guard; it throws snowballs at hostile mobs. The snowballs don't do much damage, but they do distract the mobs if you're being chased.
 * Because that's all it is programmed to work on. Personally, I'd like to be able to use it on glass, myself. =)
 * I'm not sure what you're asking here; what are the parts you're referring to?
 * Yes, though it's been quite some time. I've seen some very recent videos with spider jockeys, though.
 * Certain of those sounds are simply random ambience, I think, but some of them indicate a cave that you haven't explored yet.
 * I think that's everything; let me know if there's anything else you need or if I need to further explain anything. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:43, 11 April 2012 (UTC)


 * THANKS
 * i heard that you could say, lets say: send dinodude 12 nether blocks. and you could get them. that what im trying to find out. and yes there was red cows! [weird]. i later found out that if you are tunneling underground, and you suddenly hear like, very odd and creepy and short music, [not the happy kind, but not the very bad kind,] it means you are *this close to a monster spawner!! i found a village seed thay was soposto lead me to a village [survival] but instead, it didnt, so im like ok whatever. so i deleted the word and made another of the same seed, and the same world spawned! the same cave, the same formations of trees, everything!! that happened like 7 times. ??
 * i saw a picture that showed me how to make a saddle and moss-stone and i tried it out and it didnt work. [whose the false?] wiki said i couldnt, and the user who made the pic said i could. ??? and tip: if you find a village, and you go between 2 village houses and you see a hole and you fall into it, DONT TRY TO GET OUT! its an un finished hole to a monster spawner! and i ment something like this: you walk out of your [survival] home, and get hit by nothing, so your like whatever and you go on your way till you get hit again by a[turns around]SKELETON RIDING A SPIDER!!! and your like HEY MAN THATS NOT COOL something like that. what are those little brown things scattered in the desert? how fast does a sapling grow? how many hits does it take to kill a cow with your hands? can i make cheese? i made a bucket and found a stream and clicked on it with the bucket, but nothing happened.??-how do i pick up water? are wolfs the only pets i can have? in survival mode, how is the nether helpful?:D [creepyland] where can i find ghasts? how are silverfish bad?[silverfish spawner,] go to creative, put it on hard, put silverfish everywere, turn it on peaceful, they disapear. ??? :? hope thats not too much,
 * Cheetahfur 22:47, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * oh and are cauldrons ONLY for water? and look at the pic on my page, the blocks in the invintory, what kind of blocks are those!?!?!?!
 * teehee, Cheetahfur 22:57, 13 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Aah, now I know what you're talking about. That's a server command, meaning in vanilla Minecraft, it can only be used in multiplayer. Furthermore, that particular command is restricted to server ops. If you want that functionality in singleplayer, you have a few options: Creative Mode allows you to build with an infinite supply of blocks, and also features fly mode (toggled by double-tapping the spacebar); Single Player Commands is a mod that allows you to use server commands in single player mode; and TooManyItems is a mod that allows you to use any block in the game, even those that aren't normally obtainable, and also features an inventory saver (note that I can't help you install mods or anything, though, since I've never done much with any of them).
 * The music can certainly play when you're near a monster spawner, but it usually just means you're near an unexplored cave of some sort.
 * Seeds usually don't generate the same world from one version of Minecraft to the next; you probably just found a seed for a different version of Minecraft from what you're running. On the other hand, the same seed on the same version of Minecraft will generate the same world every time it's used, hence your experience with getting the same world seven different times. ;)
 * There are undoubtedly mods that add crafting recipes for saddles and moss stone, but in vanilla Minecraft these items aren't craftable. Again, though, I can't help you out if you want to try mods.
 * The little brown things in deserts are Dead Bushes.
 * The amount of time required for saplings to grow is random and can range from a few minutes to hours; some information on how sapling growth works is on Tree.
 * Cows require 20 hits from your fist to kill (they have 10 hearts of health, and each hit with your fist deals half a heart of damage).
 * No, currently cheese isn't in the vanilla game. In all likelihood, there's a mod that adds it, though.
 * You have to right-click with a bucket on a water source block to pick up water (this also works for lava).
 * In addition to wolves, you can tame ocelots after which they will be loyal to you. Snow Golems and Iron Golems could also be considered pets, though they don't protect you specifically, and Iron Golems will attack you if you attack them first.
 * It depends on how you play, ultimately: if you're a builder, the Nether is the only source of blocks such as Netherrack, Soul Sand, Nether Brick, and Glowstone; if you're an adventurer, accessing the Nether is required for brewing (since a Brewing Stand requires a Blaze Rod to craft, and potions usually require Nether Wart for brewing); and if you're out to "complete" the game, the Nether is a very helpful step in getting to the End.
 * Ghasts are found in the Nether.
 * Silverfish can enter several different types of blocks, after which it's very difficult to tell the normal blocks from the Silverfish blocks. In addition, if you hit a silverfish, it can "call" other silverfish that are in nearby blocks to attack you.
 * All hostile mobs disappear in Creative mode.
 * Yes, cauldrons are now only useful for holding water. They were originally meant to form the basis of the potion system.
 * I'm not sure; the person that took that picture was using a texture pack. You would have to ask them what texture pack they were using, and what block that is, unless someone else happens to recognize it and can help you out.
 * I'm not trying to be rude, but in the future, if you have a question about a specific aspect of the game (e.g. a specific type of block or mob), could you read its article on here before asking me? Many of your questions are answered on the relevant article. If you can't find an answer, though, by all means go ahead and ask me anyways.

Reaching Admins to discuss incorrect bans
I was incorrectly auto-banned by the abuse filter yesterday, and all the messages kept encouraging me to contact admins about it.

When I tried to add a topic to an admin's talk page, the wiki helpfully reminded me of how banned I was and that I should contact an admin about that.

It seems like banned people should have the permission to talk to admins, since only incorrectly banned people would ever risk posting things on an admin's talk page. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Redson (Talk&#124;Contribs) 13:54, 18 April 2012‎. Please sign your posts with


 * Right, if you're banned, you should obviously ignore my advice to leave messages on my or others' talk page on-wiki since you can't (and I agree, banned editors being unable to edit admins' talk pages is something that has bugged me for a very long time, but there's not much I can do about it). I wasn't thinking about the fact you'd been banned when I wrote that; if it happens again, you should go ahead and email an admin for help. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:44, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * The top of the Admin Noticeboard has a note about how to contact an admin by email. I'm not familiar with the messages given to banned users, but perhaps something similar could be added to them; not everyone will think to go to the noticeboard. -- Orthotope 20:06, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Good idea. I don't know which messages offhand either, but I can look into it later. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:33, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Minecraft Wiki.ro
Hi, ÎI'm from Romania and I'm 11 but I now english good.In the future, can you make a Minecraft Wiki.ro? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Sebastianpin (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:06, 18 April 2012‎. Please sign your posts with


 * Hello Sebastianpin, I don't have any control over that, and am not the one to ask. We do have a translation project, and there appears to be a subproject for Romanian, but it doesn't look like much has been done. If you'd like, you can contribute to the subproject; after all the main articles have been translated, Curse will decide whether there seems to be enough interest for a new language wiki version. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:52, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh, I will try to make the romanian version better.Excuse me, that page I searched, but I don't din it.I'm from Wikipedia, too.Ok.To now:

-romanians have an minecraft romania with let's plays, etc.

Incrementing numbers?
I want to use padright in the navbox template so that you don't have to have the code for a group 20 times. Now from your repeat template this is simple enough to work out initially, and you could probably stick a switch in to work out how many times you want to repeat it, however I need to have a way to increment the number so you get group1 list1, group2 list2, etc.

Or would this idea be completely flawed due to it including the user input of each group as part of the padding? – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 15:33, 27 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think it would work very well, though I'm not sure exactly what problems you might face trying to do so; I've never tried using repeat techniques on parameter names, so I'm not sure just how you would work with them. There are also potential problems with the repeat limit; #padleft seems to have a hard limit on the length of the output string of no more than 500 characters (anything more is dropped), and the older #replace-based version has a similar limit of 1000 characters (the original #expr-based version has two limits, as I recall, the first is 14 replaces (due to how many decimal places MediaWiki tracks or something), and the second is a limit on the length of the input string, to 30 characters, IIRC).
 * Wikipedia's version doesn't *look* like it'd have any such similar limits, but I don't really understand how it works (I've got the gist of it, I think, but I'm lost on the details) and haven't tried playing with it any. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:34, 27 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Well I worked out the incrementing number, that was actually really easy.  
 * If you transclude the template normally, it won't actually increment, you actually have to define the first parameter (even though it isn't actually used in the template).
 * For example      would give you 1 2 3 4.


 * However, I didn't have any luck getting it to work with the navbox. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 11:57, 28 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Aah, now see, I never would have thought to use #var & co.; I still haven't done nearly enough with them to really understand how they work and what might be possible with them.
 * In the long-term, we'll have a solution for this after we finally get Lua as a replacement for the current template system. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:29, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
