Statistics
What, no 'Creepers detonated'? Man, I really thought Notch was going to add that. --R ocĸetor talk  10:02, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Good idea. Maybe "Damage by falling", "biggest fall", etc. Calinou 11:15, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

They could be in a 'Miscellaneous' section of the Statistics. --R ocĸetor talk  06:50, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Flying
"Distance Flown", yet again a nod towards adding air transportation. (see Dragon for more.) --TheKax 13:04, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, one of Notch's tweets suggests you can add to that statistic as the game is now. Perhaps it counts being thrown by TNT explosions or knocked back by mobs? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:56, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Well that's true... But then, we have distance fallen. I don't mean they are the same thing, I mean in coding, it's not too easy to tell "falling" and "flying" apart. Tho, one way could be that falling is the vertical distance and flying horizontal, but then, how to tell apart "flying" and jumping"? A cold hearted time limit? or that flying is upwards and falling down? Too bizzare, if you think of jumping. (I have experience of programming (mainly GML, HTML, CSS, PHP) a few years by now, it really helps understand all those tiny flaws and bugs in programs... But I have very low skills in Java. Pretty much limited to "hello world".) And, I wouldn't think of flying when being knocked back... We'll have to see what Notch does. --TheKax 17:02, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I understand all of that, hence my own uncertainty. I have a certain amount of programming experience myself (though not nearly as much as you, more than likely), so I think I grasp how difficult it could be telling apart different "forms" of movement. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:33, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I have somehow gained some stats for "Distance Flown", so I can definitely confirm that it is possible to increase that as the game stands now. Not sure how I did it, though I haven't messed around with TNT recently so it's not that, Dinoguy. --leiger 02:43, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It means "distance traveled upwards AND forwards at the same time, while more than one block above the ground". This covers jumping off a cliff, but not jumping on solid ground and not walking off a cliff. --GreyMario 02:50, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes after playing a while I noticed that I had "flown" two meters... Seems that's true. -- TheKax 15:04, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Multiple accounts per computer?
My partner and I both play on the same computer, but log into our own accounts to play our own worlds. Will our stats get combined? If they're stored in a file on the computer, it kind of implies that. Yomikoma 16:07, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Should have just waited to see - the names are in a common file but the stats are in a username-specific file. Yomikoma 22:23, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Statistic "Worlds played" not working
My "Worlds played" statistic remains at 0, yet other related stats (times played, saves loaded, games quit) all work fine. Can anyone else confirm that they also experience this bug? --leiger 02:45, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

System?
The opening paragraph states that statistics are system. Are they not more correctly a feature? ScouseSandwich 22:00 22 April 2011 GMT
 * I believe both terms work fine, I personally prefer "system" though. - Alphap T ~ C 21:09, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
