F3 Toggle?
Since Beta 1.3, I have noticed on Ubuntu that F3 now toggles the information, whereas before it showed it while held in.

Also, using F3 (also on Ubuntu) shows a number above all mobs, like player names in SMP. This occurs in both Single and Multiplayer.

 * Did you not even read the page? "Pressing this key will toggle the showing of extra debug information on the top of the screen along side the Minecraft version, such as FPS (frames per second), chunk updates, available memory, and a performance graph. Before version 1.3 F3 had to be held down to show this info." – ultradude25 ( T at 23:53, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

F11 Fullscreen w/ multiple monitors
I've tried fullscreen and have two monitors. It always occupies my main monitor when fullscreened, no matter which screen the window is on. This may be an act of DisplayFision or UltraMon though, so someone else without these will have to give it a test. In addition, my monitors are offset from eachother (screen2 is on top of and about 70% to the left of screen1). --Sennyotai 00:48, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Time Controls
They aren't working in 1.8.1 (or 1.8, for that matter) If no one responds or edits this (or even finds a new controller of time!) I will edit the page and move them to the removed conrtols section

 * They were accidentally left in for the 1.8 pre-releases, and were removed for the full release. Also note that they do not actually affect the passage of time in Minecraft, but only the day/night cycle. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:45, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Pick Block
Hello there. Pick block. What does it do? I can't find any documentation for it here in the wiki. Thanks! 200.51.92.142 14:35, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * If You have a Wood and a Dirt Block in your Inventory Bar, for example, you can select Wood/Dirt by look on a Wood/Dirt-Block in the World and then press the Pick-Button. 77.176.86.193 04:40, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Except nothing here explains what key "pick block" is, or what it does. If the wiki redirects here it should mention it at least once. Frozenne 05:44, 21 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Not any more, I gave the page a much needed overhaul and fixed the redirect to anchor to the pick block key. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 06:24, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Jeb unintentionally left those camera controls in the prerelease. — Toshu (talk) 07:35, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

'Computer'?
Um... For the time being, wouldn't 'PC' be fine? I mean, eventually add 'MAC', for sure. COME PYU TER is just so 'abacus' (that is:from Heb. abaq "dust," from root a-b-q "to fly off.")

& then, to be quite honest, the term 'computer' is kind of invalid. Is more 'terminal', that is, based on terms. Compute is more... well from etymonline (1630s, from Fr. computer, from L. computare "to count, sum up, reckon together," from com- "with" (see com-) + putare "to reckon," originally "to prune" (see pave).)

If anything, that would be the user, I think. Not that it is anyway topical....

The machine is a sort of causal nexus, it relegates the input/output. Not so much a 'computer'. Just a thought to think about...

'compute' is "with reckoning"

it is not computer
