Unnecessary margin before right parenthesis/bracket
There is an unnecessary left margin before the right parenthesis/bracket in the class "hlist". It can be seen in the purchase links under the "Play it!" section. It can also be seen in. Tested in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and IE (desktop and mobile); it appears.

It is due to the  style in MediaWiki:Gadget-site-styles.css, under. – ITechieGamertce 02:37, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Bedrock Edition Versions
(from Talk:Bedrock Edition) Could I suggest this again? I know Auldrick said no, but I have an alternative to a GIF: the way the image cycling works on entity pages and such (like Villager). Could something be rigged up where (for Auldrick's case) there's one cycling icon for the seven besides Android, iOS, and Apple TV; another icon for the first two of those; and a final icon for Apple TV? Then, once all versions are equal, there's one icon for everything except Apple TV? I can experiment if my help's needed. Scientific Guy (talk) 18:31, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Thoughts on a potential new introduction text?
The current introduction text is very long and has, in my opinion, quite a bunch of unnecessary facts in it that are not interesting to someone who would like to be introduced into the game. Also, some things are horribly outdated, for instance the Pi Edition as well as the Legacy Console Edition are in focus; both editions aren't actively developed on anymore.

We have changed the introduction text on the German wiki quite a while ago. This is a machine-translated version of the current one: (I couldn't be bothered to translate it myself) "Minecraft is an open-world game created by Markus Persson and developed by the Swedish game company Mojang AB. The whole world – a landscape with mountains, rivers, seas, forests, deserts and other landscape types – consists of blocks which the player can take away or place as he likes. So you can change the world according to your own ideas, create paths, cities and harbours and create fascinating buildings – either alone in single player mode or together in multiplayer mode. There are also different game modes that emphasize different aspects of the game.

Minecraft in the Java Edition for computers with Windows, macOS or Linux operating systems can be played free of charge in demo mode or purchased for 23.95 €. Once the game has been purchased, you can play in multiplayer mode and create as many worlds as you like. There are also other Minecraft editions for various mobile devices and game consoles, all of which must be purchased separately.

The development of Minecraft started on May 10th, 2009. The official completion date of Minecraft 1.0 was November 18th, 2011. Shortly afterwards Markus Persson handed over the development to Jens Bergensten and dedicated himself to other projects. Since then, the game has been constantly developed further. By October 2018, 29 million copies of the Java Edition had been sold, making it the best-selling PC game of all time. By the end of September 2018, all Minecraft editions had sold over 154 million copies. In addition, there are 100 million downloads in China."

This is of course only one possible text that of course still could be improved upon (it only mentions Java Edition, and it only mentions the price of Java Edition in Euros). But the main question is, should the introduction text be changed at all? What should it contain? | violine1101(Talk) 23:31, 3 January 2019 (UTC)


 * I agree that there doesn't need to be nearly as much text about the history of different versions, especially the discontinued ones. There's also way too many links in the "about Minecraft" section; for example, stuff like "sandbox" and "Android" probably don't need to be linked to. There could also be a bit more information on what a wiki is and how to contribute to it, though I'm not sure how that should be phrased. There is currently a link to Minecraft Wiki:How to help in the very top section, but I doubt most people will notice it with all of the other links on the main page. – Sonicwave talk  19:34, 8 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Agree with that, the introduction text should be way shorter. Also, with more place on the main page (just under the introduction for instance), we could implement the Trivia idea some people talked about on Discord at least. This section would display random facts about Minecraft (both about the franchise and the gameplay itself). • Yanis48 (talk) 19:52, 8 February 2019 (UTC)


 * The intro text should definitely be shorter, but what would take its place, in order to balance out the columns? – Nixinova Nixinova sig1.png Nixinova sig2.png 05:44, 15 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Depending on how much it gets shortened, perhaps we could move the "Did you know" section into the left column instead of having it be a separate row? – Sonicwave talk  21:22, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Inventory size sprite images look bad
Someone went too far with the compression, they look awful and dithered now. See Food. Is pngoutwin extreme still too large for those sprites?--PlNG CF (talk) 00:34, 10 February 2019 (UTC)


 * PlNG CF@undefined Problem's on your end (mobile optimiser?). There is no compression applied to sprites (they're edited via a script which doesn't support compression). –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 06:37, 14 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Nope, not on mobile. Also I'm back because images are now straight up failing to load for "visitors", the site works fine until until whatever ad script kicks with its sleight of hand (redirect to a page and back) to circumvent adblocking (and no, after 4 infections including 1 ransomware attack that destroyed all my files, adblocking is never coming off for me, it is as essential as antivirus these days). As soon as I'm logged in, the site works and looks as it should, possibly because of my free "pro" account. I dislike what this place has become.--PlNG CF (talk) 23:10, 26 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Maybe your ad blocking software is the culprit? Have you tried different ad blocking extensions, or maybe a reset to a default configuration? This issue cannot really be reported to staff if they can plausibly say "it's broken because your ad blocker is faulty". --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 23:33, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

New trial for Android app
The Android version of Bedrock Edition has a new, region-restricted trial version, located here. I think it should be noted in the sidebar too.

BE 1.10
Bedrock Edition 1.10 was released recently. Remove it from the planned updates section. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Gediminaskling (talk • contribs) at 14:57, 22 March 2019 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * Done, I also updated the News and Events section to mention the editcopy page. – Sonicwave talk  17:15, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Fix this
At did you know ender man section after word 'English', please write the word 'words'. Because there are English words, not all of the English sounds. I mean, sounds can be NOT words. Lanxtot (talk) 07:40, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
