Creation
I made this page specifically because of the demand for information about the "secret friday updates" which it seems will be a recurring event. Most of it is just taken straight from Notch's blog, with some wording paraphrased. -KinoftheFlames 23:00, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Spoiler Template Request
I think it may be a good idea to cover the "secret" updates for a day or two after release with a spoiler tag. Could anyone make a spoiler template that meets this criteria: -KinoftheFlames 23:00, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Should use format
 * The text should be black and the background black, and when moused over the text should become white
 * Should only cover the text as mentioned above if the difference between the current time and the timestamp given is less than two days
 * Otherwise it should display the text normally without the need for removing the template around the text

I understand what you're suggesting - that would be more of a hidden text section, though. I'll try to make a start by creating a very basic spoiler warning template that will at least give an initial alert here (and on the crafting recipe list) until it can be expanded in the way you suggest. Looks like it'll need 2 templates - a "SpoilerWarning" to highlight that a section or article contains spoilers, and a "HiddenText" to do the hidden text stuff. Zolyx 08:59, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Question: How is the "Flying Boat" bug listed under the July 16th update a bug at all since the boat is not truly flying but merely being launched upward by its own buoyancy? -Gollgagh 17:10, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Merge?
Couldnt this be merged with Version history under a alpha title? Toadbert

This page is better than that other one in every way, imo. Did I miss anything? Why does that other one exist? It looks like it lists the same things this does, but in a much uglier way...

Listing
This would be nice listed on the front page for people interested (everyone?). Could put "spoilers" if you want.
 * I have no clue why it isn't already. It's probably the most popular page on the site. Someone with the authority should do it now. --DStecks 12:48, 27 August 2010 (PDT)
 * actually, the crafting page is the most popular. as for putting it up, I don't think I can make that decision.--Kizzycocoa 12:52, 27 August 2010 (PDT)

July 26st, 2010 - Minecraft Alpha 1.0.12
It's stated that there are reports of the slimes still spawning in peaceful mode "(some reports of this being wrong?)". It's true that the slime don't spawn in peaceful mode - however a lot of people seem to think this is wrong because they still see slimes in their games. The problem is they don't SPAWN in peaceful anymore - however, if you saved in peaceful when they were spawning, they don't unspawn. Those people are just seeing the old slimes that haven't been killed yet.

Current unknown changes 9/13/10
I think the new random change enabled White cloth (35) to be used in multiplayer survival. Previous to this patch, it wasn't accessible.
 * I doubt it. it is roumoured to be part of the seecret friday update, but late. I'd take a wild guess Herobrine has arrived at our doorsteps, and is sneaking around, peeking through your windows and stuff.--Kizzycocoa 05:04, 14 September 2010 (CDT)

Seecret Friday 9 - Clay and mushrooms are more common?
I doubt that it is true. I checked those parts in the code, and there isn't any change. When people search for changes they will find things, even if there isn't any change.. --Koolk 13:18, 14 September 2010 (CDT)

Halloween update
Should the Halloween update really be on this page? The page is called Patch history, and besides, the Halloween update already has its own page. ConMan8 22:44, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Difference between 1.20 and 1.20_1?
Would we be able to list the difference between the two? (slow sand removed, etc) F1racer101 12:30, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
