Talk:Java Edition 1.14/Archive 1

Sources and assumptions
,, . Finding a source comes first, Jeb's statement was way too vague to be considered a valid source ("the next update", with no mention of the edition this statement applied to and the fact that 1.13 is actually the next update for Java). I'm glad Fusseel managed to find a good source, but please do not act based on your own assumptions next time. It can backfire pretty bad. --Pepijn (talk) 20:19, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
 * So he was going to be talking about 1.15+, with no info about 1.14? No he wasn't. And you said "he could be talking about Bedrock" ... no he wouldn't've. And don't start edit wars, Pepijn. – Nixinova Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Diamond_Pickaxe.png Grid_Map.png 20:34, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
 * That's still an assumption. Do not act on assumptions. This is a wiki, not a discussion group. --Pepijn (talk) 21:03, 18 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I understand, Pepijn, unsourced information is one of the most terrible things I see frequently get edited in. However the way I saw and still see it, it could not have been meant in any other way, that this was supposed to be 1.14 material. It had already been stated before that they were already working on 1.14 specifically during the works of 1.13, and that 1.13 would not have any new content. They always announce new content about the next major update at Minecon, and we had heard nothing about 1.14 yet. So 1.13 was already fully announced and the "next" update would be 1.14. It would not have been for any different edition either, he just said they had caught up and updates would come out for all editions at pretty much the same time from now on. You're right, we should not make any assumptions and always find a source, and normally I (personally) wouldn't edit in new info if I'm not really sure about it, but in this case I found the source was valid. Thanks for guarding the case. – Jack McKalling (t • c • p) 20:55, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
 * That's still an assumption. Just because something is very likely to happen does not mean it's fine to accept vague sources. --Pepijn (talk) 21:03, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Why it isn't Aquatic Update?
Is the word update a noun or a verb? -- Lxazl5770 zh.patroller （ 论 • 功 ） 03:42, 19 November 2017 (UTC)


 * There's a Wes Anderson film "The Life Aquatic". The word order may have been inspired by that film title. –  Sealbudsman talk/contr 15:26, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Questionable source on Reddit
There’s a post on reddit from the guy with the guardian costume on MineCon. He claims to have asked Jeb some questions and states Jebs answers in the post. My problem with this is simply verifying wether it is legit or not. Especially the information about the offhand changes seem pretty huge and I can’t quite believe the developers would limit it even more instead of working on improving it. So is anyone able to verify this source? – Fusseel 11:36, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Only Jeb can really verify this. The Reddit guy seems to indeed be the contest winner, but he wrote that from memory and we don't know how much of it is just misinterpretation (for example, how much of this applies to Bedrock and how much to Java? Jeb is in charge of both). --Pepijn (talk) 14:15, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Can't Get Link to Work
I've been trying to link "coral" to a specific sub-subsection on the Java Edition mentioned features page. However, no matter what I do, it will only link to the top of the page, instead of the sub-subsection "Mentioned in 2010." I've tried looking at linking tutorials and trying that, but even that doesn't work. Does anybody else know the easiest way to create a link to a specific subsection or sub-subsection of another page? --Madminecrafter12 (talk) 14:06, 19 November 2017 (UTC)Madminecrafter12


 * You can only link to headers that have an anchor on the page. As far as I know, these are the headers that have the [Edit] links next to them, or you can use anchor directly. The nearest anchor you were looking for was Java_Edition_mentioned_features. However you should link to the article page instead, not the mentioned features page. – Jack McKalling (t • c • p) 14:11, 19 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much for the info! However, an article page for coral has not been created yet; it just redirects to the Mentioned features page, so the only place where coral is mentioned is under Java Edition mentioned features, so the link might as well just go ahead and link there. If a coral page is created, however, I will change the link to the coral page. --Madminecrafter12 (talk) 14:43, 19 November 2017 (UTC)Madminecrafter12


 * Just remember we do not typically create pages on features until it is actually part of a snapshot. 1.14 is sufficient to describe the feature until then. – KnightMiner  t/c 20:38, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Source on Biome Pages
There are two links leading to uncreated biome pages; there is no source on either one of them. Can someone confirm that these are real features that have a source? 172.31.10.40
