Remove stub flags from pages
Some pages aren't supported by the wiki, mojang, minecraft irc and forums that are flagged as stub's. I don't think there's much to say of expanding the page since there isn't much to say about the mod. Particularly Mods/, has a list of pages flagged as stubs. Extreme 21:11, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Change "Discussion" tab to "Talk"
I think we should change the "Discussion" tab to say "Talk" instead. Everybody calls them "talk" pages, even the namespace is "Talk:" that tab is the only time it is ever called "Discussion" and I think it just makes things confusing for newcomers, not to mention "Talk" is a much smaller word with a similar meaning, so it would help people with small screens. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 03:38, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Need beginner help
Hi folks - I am new to Minecraft and need some help figuring out how to play in multiplayer mode. Is there a good forum for beginners here i can go to?

Thanks!

Problems With Spammers
My anti-virus(McAfee) says there is a virus on this wiki. There must be a huge spammer spamming everysingle post. We need to find a solution such as scanning each link automatically before posting. Thanks! - TheGeek56

MacAfee is actully a pretty bad virus checker, at least to internet explorer. Norton is a pretty good one, but it keeps going "is this ok?" "is this ok?"-Louise4589TheEpic 22:46, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Redstone melodies tutorial
I'd like to create that tutorial, if I can. May I? - Creepers explode, don&#39;tcha know? 14:33, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure. I recommend creating it in your own userspace and working on it there until it's a reasonable rough draft. It doesn't need to be perfect though before you "publish" it by moving it to Tutorials -- if you publish a good rough draft, others may come in and help, but they'll be more likely to help if there's something to work with. &mdash;Munin295 &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 17:00, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

How to create crafting icons for blocks?
I created the crafting grid for the Block of Nether Quartz. but the icon for the block is missing and i want to upload it to the wiki, how do i create the image? taking an screenshot ingame then editing? or there is any other program? M05K1T0 16:12, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Which page do you mean? Block of quartz crafting grid looks fine to me. - Creepers explode, don&#39;tcha know? 16:22, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Do you mean the little images? Those are a part of one big image. There's File:BlockCSS.png, File:ItemCSS.png, and File:EntityCSS.png. The big item images on the right of the item page are special renders made by ultradude25. If you want to update something on the CSS pictures, make sure you know what you're doing and don't use MSPaint.
 * Also, when you upload a new version of an image, it WILL be there. You need to refresh your browser cache to see it. Do not reupload the same image again.  16:28, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Renders for mobs are made by ultradude too? (Yes, I mean the 3D image for mobs and blocks) –Preceding unsigned comment was added by M05k1t0 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 21:16, 12 January 2013 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Vector tabs
Why is the "read/edit/add topic/ view history" bar moving? --Droideka30 01:53, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * If you mean it slides left or right, that is a vector skin improvement on this wiki that collapses the tabs into a dropdown arrow if you have a small screen/small browser display.  02:02, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, there's a problem with it. In the Talk: namespace, the four tabs continuously bounce back and forth for me. I've tested it in Firefox and Chrome. If I make the browser window wider, it settles down, but at my standard viewing size they just keep bouncing. --timrem 17:46, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah mediawiki's tab collapsing code doesn't understanding padding or margin and gets itself confused, if I can find the code responsible maybe I can replace it with something that works, but for now the best I could do is make them not collapse at all, which would make some tabs completely unusable depending on your screen size. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 01:47, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know anything about code. All I know is that when viewing talk pages form my iPhone, with the default Safari browser, the tabs move wildly left and right. It is impossible to resize the window on my phone, and it becomes extremely difficult to hit the tab I want. This happens on almost all of the talk pages on the wiki. --Droideka30 01:02, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I found the code responsible and it should be fixed now. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 03:13, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Nice job, the tabs have indeed stopped bouncing around. --timrem 00:55, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure where to add this
Remove this from here and put it in the right place when you find it.

If you have a stack of 0 items, it acts like a stack of 256 in some ways. HotdogPi ⑬㊲ 04:08, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) If you move it without using one, it disappears.
 * 2) If you place it, and it's a block, it disappears.
 * 3) If it has a holding right-click function, and you use it, it disappears. (Someone else said that.)
 * 4) This means that only blocks as items in the inventory (e. g. heads) and throwable items work.
 * 5) If you use 1, you'll have 255. (The game thinks you have -1, but it won't disappear like having 0.)
 * 6) It won't say how many you have until you have 127.
 * 7) You can't spawn 0 of an item with the /give command; it requires Bukkit glitches (I used ChestShop.)

Collapse nav templates by default
The recent addition of the Redstone template (conversation) along with its addition to every linked page made me realize how cluttered some pages ended up, like Redstone Repeater. Initially, when I previewed that particular page before it was added, I suggested to put the smaller template, Redstone, on top due to the bullying size of the Blocks and Items. Thinking back to that, I remembered seeing a wiki, with tons of nav templates, default them to being closed. We don't have a ton of nav templates, but now that some pages have three, with the potential to have more in the future if the larger ones are split, I believe this should be a possibility. 04:14, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I was just thinking the same thing. However, it would be nice if they didn't shrink to the left when collapsed but just window-shaded up. &mdash;Munin295 &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 04:30, 18 January 2013 (UTC)


 * That's how they were to start with, then someone whined about having to open them when viewing the wiki on a phone.
 * Not that it really matters, they're at the bottom of the page. Unless you're planning on clicking on some categories, they're not in the way uncollapsed. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 04:50, 18 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. I tend to access the wiki on my phone a lot as well, doing things from work during breaks, so I can kind of relate.  01:23, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

xbox version
In the wiki i noticed that you can see the dates for when the computer version is going to release there update. I am one who plays the xbox version and was thinking why on the xbox page it does not show the date for our next update? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Jeftut1993 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 20:30, 20 January 2013 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * Honestly, I believe the Pocket Edition should do the same thing. The only edition Mojang has complete control over the release date is the PC version. The Pocket Edition release date is at the hands of Apple and Google, as updates have to be handled by their respective app review department, which takes weeks and either app store could get it earlier than the other. The XBox version is much worse. It takes much longer for Microsoft to finish reviewing updates. Because of these three companies and their review processes, which are a necessary evil to ensure bad apps don't make it to millions of mobile devices and XBoxes, this invites speculation and other guesswork to show itself in the release date column. Speculation does not belong anywhere on a wiki.  01:18, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Whenever I got to a page that has more than four buttons, like "Read|Edit|Addtopic|View history" they slide across my screen! Anybody else have this? - Creepers explode, don&#39;tcha know? 18:54, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

New template: "Removed content"
As the title implies, this would contain all content removed from the game, for example human mob, rana, gear, crying obsidian, winter mode etc. It would look better outside of the normal templates. Xeoxer 15:17, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Enhanced Recent Changes
Ever since I started here, the enhanced javascript recent changes have been technically "broken" for me, where the show/hide arrow did nothing and the page loaded with the arrows closed (pointed to the right) while all page revisions were shown. Most of my common.css enhancements came from ultradude25, but I specifically left out the change that forces everything closed, since I liked my recent changes "broken". Now, out of the blue, my recent changes started working. Everything collapses, and I can't figure out a way to force everything open. There is no, or I can't find any, obvious opposite to "display: none;". Could anyone shine a light on this? Was there some ninja wiki software update? Special:Version still reports 1.18.6, which I believe it has been there for ages. 02:28, 29 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I like them open by default too. This is keeping them open for me, but won't allow them to close (which is fine for me): . &mdash;Munin295 &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 02:47, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

 * That's neat, but we're still staying away from a release date column in the Xbox 360 Edition upcoming features page, and eventually the Pocket Edition upcoming features page will follow, but we haven't gotten to the point where that release date column causes an issue yet.  18:27, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

The update came out yesterday, the first of february!

and
Is it just me or are these icons a little intrusive in to the article body? I would much rather see icons next to the article title, like is done on many Wikia's. Assassin's Creed Wiki for example. It would be less intrusive and still get to the point of telling which versions have this feature and don't. CRRaysHead90 09:45, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Update mediawiki?
Hi guys, This is just random, but apparently the latest version of mediawiki is 1.20 something, where as the wiki has only 1.18 something. Does it need an update? Numbermaniac 09:54, 9 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Strictly speaking, yes, but Curse has to test any updates before they're actually deployed, which required a non-trivial investment of time and effort, so updates are by necessity few and far between. That, combined with some of the long-awaited improvements that are not yet stable in MediaWiki core or Wikimedia-deployed extensions (the parser rewrite, the WYSIWYG editor, and Lua templates, primarily), leads me personally to prefer holding off on an update until said improvements hit stable. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 10:17, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh. Thanks. I was just wondering why it hadn't been updated, but it makes sense now. Thanks Numbermaniac 11:10, 9 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I've seen some of curse's newer wikis which have the global login system implemented are updated to 1.19.3, so I expect when we eventually get that system we'll be updated. I too would like to hold off until lua (or hopefully server JS!) support is added, I've already converted some of our templates to lua and they work pretty well. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 19:58, 9 February 2013 (UTC)


 * A brief explanation - For the past year, the Curse php team has been developing a platform for our wiki network that has been dubbed "Hydra". As Ultradude25 pointed out, our new wikis have all been launched on this platform, incorporating a universal login, as well as the new Curse footer (front-end). The larger purpose and benefit of this platform is giving our team the ability to update all wikis on the platform at one time, as well as improving the efficiency of adding extensions, and changing configurations based on the various communities' requests (back-end). We are now at the point where we will be starting to migrate our older existing wikis to the Hydra platform which will automatically upgrade them to 1.19.3. As our most trafficked wiki, Minecraft will most likely be migrated towards the end of the process, guaranteeing most of the kinks have already been worked out of the migration system. Once all of our wikis are on Hydra, upgrading them all to the most current, stable version of Media Wiki will no longer take months of our team's time, and will therefore happen much more regularly. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  01:21, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I know there will be a time when questions can be presented and more info can be given, but in the case of unified logins, my Curse account and my wiki username are the same, as is the email, so I should not have any issue, correct?  01:24, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Correct, but we are implementing a "Nickname" type system as is used on MCForums, where if your wiki username is unavailable in the curse.com databse, you will be able to continue to use it as a display name even if your actual account name/login name is something different. And yes, as it comes time to migrate MCW onto Hydra, I will be providing much more detailed information. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  01:28, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Windows 8 Logo or Windows XP/Vista/7
Which logo should be used as the icon of the Windows OS on this wiki.

The old Windows XP/Vista/7 logo Or the new Windows 8 logo.

Do you the new logo or to the new logo.


 * We shoud use the most update logo--007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 22:10, 9 February 2013 (UTC)


 * We should use the logo that most represents Windows. The windows 7 logo represents Windows all the way back to Windows 3.1 (1992), whereas the Windows 8 logo only represents Windows 8.
 * Additionally, at the size this image is used (20px), the Windows 8 logo just looks like a blue blob (especially on our already blueish background), so you can't actually tell it represents Windows at all. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 23:05, 9 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Same reason as ultradude25. It's not about having an up-to-date logo, it's about having a logo that represents Windows.  23:11, 9 February 2013 (UTC)


 * According to usage data for January 2013, about 2.5% of computers run Windows 8, compared to 75-90% of computers running all versions of Windows. More people are using Vista than 8. At this time, the Windows 8 logo is not at all representative of Windows as a whole. We should switch at some point in the future (perhaps once 8 is the second-most used version of Windows, beating XP), but not now. -- Orthotope 02:08, 10 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I definitely think we should stick to the old logo. That has been the logo since almost the beginning of Windows, where as the newer logo only represents Windows 8. Orthotope is Windows XP really the most used? Because that is what I have. I have no intention of getting Windows 8 until my computer becomes really outdated. If the blue logo stays, perhaps we can change to that once Windows 15 or something comes out, because by then, most people would probably have something higher than Windows 8. Numbermaniac 05:08, 10 February 2013 (UTC)


 * The old one represents Windows better. -Creepers explode, don&#39;tcha know? 18:34, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

 * I made an extension for this a while back, however I doubt Curse will want to install an extra extension just for this purpose. Also I never bothered adding a special page to it, so you'd only be able to change the filter by getting Curse staff to do it, i.e it'd never get done. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 02:29, 12 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I didn't quite catch that - what do you mean by "I never bothered adding a special page to it" - does this mean that there is no page on this wiki which allows that script to be run, or something else? Also, I clicked through a few pages on Wikipedia and found that they were all in their respective language (yes, I know this is not run the same way as Wikipedia).

 * It's not surprising that Special:Random on a random-language Wikipedia only results in pages written in that Wikipedia's language; new-language projects of Wikimedia Foundation wikis are started on the Wikimedia Incubator, instead of being an assortment of subpages on the equivalent English (or any other language) project.
 * It should also be pointed out that the extension Ultradude mentioned is not installed here or on any Wikimedia wiki, so even if he had bothered coding a specialpage for it, you wouldn't be able to view it here. ;) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:13, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm curious as to where I should put the info for glitch blocks in Pocket Edition
In the pocket edition, There are 3 blocks that are not (as far as I can see) on the wiki. These are glitch grass (id 253), glitch leaves (id 254), and glitch stone (id 255). I have tested their physics so I would like to post info about them. Z. Hammitt Zachthegamer98 20:36 12 February 2013

 * Yes there are. I just need to know if I should put them under technical blocks or make a new page.
 * Z. Hammitt Zachthegamer98 11:43 13 February 2013


 * They're mentioned on Data values (Pocket Edition). If there's much more to say about them, Technical blocks would probably be the best place for it. -- Orthotope 18:26, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * If you're sure that it is called glitch stone, you can add that in Data values (Pocket Edition). The article doesn't list the name for 255, so you could add that in. Otherwise, as Orthotope said, you could also add those into the Technical Blocks area. Numbermaniac 04:28, 14 February 2013 (UTC) minor change:Numbermaniac 04:32, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Officially, no, I believe. A few devices listed in Pocket Edition hardware performance aren't official either, but they are there from people installing Minecraft PE by obtaining the game and manually installing it and reporting on compatibility, although most of them use the Google Play/Android market. I would ask on the forums though. You would reach much more people in a place of discussion for Minecraft rather than a wiki page for wiki discussions.  07:21, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Weekly Minecraft Wiki Newspaper (Proposal)
Hello fello Minecraft Wikians. I propose a newsletter every week about Minecraft. The game itself is a massive collaboration of topics needed discussed and people get very pissed when they cannot find it. Perhaps like the Pi edition. No update info about it. Lets look at the Desktop edition, those snapshots are very exiting to learn about. Maybe even just the wiki's problems into this. This could be an awesome project. The newspaper should have a Main Page with links to the main topics sorta like columns in a newspaper. Each link on the main page will have links to the articles discussing that category, such as the Pi's stuff or just Classic version servers and griefer warnings. This could be a huge expansion to the wiki. All admins for this project, please reply to my talk page or just try to disscuss it among your other fellow admins.

THe reason I'm not even making paragraphs in this is because it makes this weird glitch thing. DylanTheDude11 01:52, 26 February 2013 (UTC), Your Wikian stranger

 * I have no clue this is wiki-related or not, since you didn't link anything we can get to, so I'll keep this topic here for now. Judging by the name of those files, they seem like you're requesting help with Minecraft. I suggest you post on the forums for such questions, but I will give you a chance to properly show us those pictures. Please use an image hosting site such as http://www.imgur.com to link pictures. No one will ever see what you "linked" here.  00:59, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify the problem, Gchevy: you posted the filenames of those files on your own computer.  To put an image on a website, you need to upload them to a "host" computer that's willing to make them available with a URL.  Imgur is one such host -- you can also upload pictures to this wiki, but pictures that aren't specifically Minecraft related are likely to get deleted, which is why Kanegasi suggested another host. --Mental Mouse 02:25, 4 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The file name insists that it is a screenshot of Minecraft taken at 3 March 2013 at 7:26 PM, but we cannot really see the file, as Kanegasi and Mental Mouse have already pointed out. That is the file link for your computer, but none of our computer usernames are gabechevalier. You will have to upload to a site such as imgur or Photobucket to show your picture. Another alternative is creating a shared folder on Dropbox, but unless you do any of those, we cannot see the picture. What does the picture show anyway? Num  ber  maniac  07:56, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Sandbox?
I was just wondering, how come Minecraft Wiki doesn't have a sandbox? Is there a reason behind it? Num ber  maniac  07:58, 6 March 2013 (UTC)


 * 1. A sandbox is pointless.
 * 2. We already have one, kind of. Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 08:15, 6 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, good point I guess. I was just wondering why it was as such. Thanks :) (BTW, I didn't know about that sandbox.)

 * Also, you can make subpages of your user page, and one named "Sandbox" gets the point across. Or you can just invite others to edit a given subpage. --Mental Mouse 11:40, 7 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Why didn't I think of that?! Num  ber  maniac  21:02, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Side panels appear on top of text
Hi, I've noticed that when page-length lines are on an article, the side panels (recent community articles and mojang tweets") appear on top of the text. This covers the text underneath, and is very annoying, especially in tables. Does anyone know anything about this? Num  ber  maniac  01:47, 11 March 2013 (UTC)


 * This is known as the Curse sidebar, and while pretty much no one likes it, Curse has shown no signs of being willing to change it or make it less annoying. There are ways for logged-in users to hide the sidebar, which are described at User:M0rphzone/Sidebar removal. -- Orthotope 02:16, 11 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I didn't know there actually was a way to remove it. Thanks! Num  ber  maniac  02:26, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Can the left panel be continuous on the page?
Would it be possible if the menu on the left could be kept on the page as you scroll down? Num ber  maniac  08:05, 12 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Not without some javascript, unless you're fine with the logo being dragged along. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 08:51, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I thought you could with CSS. Never mind, but thanks. :) Num  ber  maniac  21:08, 12 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The actual styling to make it fixed is css, but you need javascript to add an element around the sidebar, because it's in the same element as the logo, so it'd be impossible to only have the sidebar fixed. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 02:00, 13 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Well technically you can do it without JavaScript, but you wouldn't be able to collapse the sections properly, so if the sidebar ends up being too long for your screen to fit it all, then you wouldn't be able to access anything after the cut off point. Because I rarely use the Minecraft and Useful pages sections, I don't have them fixed (they stay collapsed at the top), which means there's always enough space to fit everything. — Hower64 05:17, 13 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't really call that "doing it", as that would be basically unusable.
 * Dragging the logo along is really the most practical solution, it just looks ugly. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 06:27, 13 March 2013 (UTC)


 * That could be a problem then. Thanks anyway :) Num  ber  maniac  07:10, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Useless page
So, we have this page. Useless, it talks about flowers, mushrooms and saplings in classic mode, which is more than 3 years old. Also, there isn't a page that links to this page. Delete?


 * Yes. I believe we should. Num  ber  maniac  00:39, 16 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I just marked it for deletion. Num  ber  maniac  00:45, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Go to top?
I often access Minecraft Wiki on my phone, and it gets very annoying when I have to scroll for ages and ages to get to the top of the page. Is there a way to add a Go to top section? That would be great. :) — Number  maniac  (C)  08:06, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Does this script work on your phone? –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 15:41, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * It works fine. Thanks! — Number  maniac  (C)  07:42, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Ender portal
me and my friend were playing on minecraft xbox 360 edition and we found an ender portal, isnt it meant to come out in the next update? Ollie1234 18:21, 23 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure. Apparently the ender dragon comes in the next update, but I don't know about the portal. -- (T)  Numbermaniac  (C)  01:02, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
