Why is editing through tor blocked?
Am i wrong for using tor? Do you trash our internet privacy? If you want to prevent abuse, then why isn't vpn blocked but tor? Do you think there are more people using tor than vpn? Just why? Why do you block tor users from editing? -- 196.245.151.215 08:04, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Editing through Tor is blocked due to extensive abuse by bad-faith users. I can ask around and see if people think the block should be lifted, but I don't think they'll agree. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 11:32, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Then why isn't vpn blocked as well like wikipedia? I believe the amount of abusers will decrease even more if you do so. -- 209.58.163.233 15:05, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The problem with tor is that we cannot identify the editor, since the IP address would be different each time. If you really want to edit through tor, you can create an account. The BlobsPaper.png 16:43, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * you still didn't answer my question. why isn't vpn blocked as well like tor? wikipedia does have both of them blocked. -- 37.120.203.90 13:31, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I the decision of blocking VPN. Doing so should decrease the number of vandalizm. - 113.29.230.200 13:26, 12 April 2020 (UTC)


 * you can't log in or sign up when using tor, blobs2 192.119.160.214 12:47, 6 May 2020 (UTC)


 * VPNs are blocked on Wikipedia due to them using open proxies. VPNs that use closed proxies are able to edit Wikipedia. 173.0.77.8 13:22, 5 June 2020 (UTC)


 * In addition to being able to circumvent blocks, another major problem with VPNs: even if a user is constructive, it's really difficult to notify them about something if they keep switching their IP. I don't know much about IPs and VPNs, but how would we be able to know for a fact that a certain user is in fact using a VPN?--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:55, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Please temporarily suspend a user to get him to stop mass-editing pages without agreement
This user is mass-editing pages: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/UserProfile:User-12316399 Apparently this has gone on for months already. One of the most common things is creating a nonsensical "occurrence" section to block pages that is pretty arbitrarily separated from the "obtaining" section. The person was asked to take note of a discussion about this here: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/User_talk:User-12316399#Block_articles_and_section_structure In that discussion there was definitely no agreement in favour of this edit, quite the opposite, almost everyone was clearly against it. Yet the person keeps doing it. I posted on the talk page, the user page (a feature called "comment", no idea if that notifies the person) and on that discussion, yet, the person keeps doing these mass-edits without even replying. I have also reverted a bunch of these edits, but that also didn't seem to give the person a hint. They didn't immediately revert that again, but sometimes came back to the same page later and did the same edit again. I suspect that this user has removed all relevant pages from their watchlist, disabled mails or something like that. So I ask you to please disable edits on articles for that person until they finally notice something and stop these edits until the discussion is done (or ideally just stop completely, but that's just my opinion). Fabian42 (talk) 19:18, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * You seem to be operating on the false principle that not replying to something automatically means that said thing hasn't been acknowledged at all. I also hadn't changed a single page back to the Occurrence layout since you posted on my talk page, so the fact that you've just immediately jumped from a talk page post to advocating for a full-out block is outright excessive and a borderline Rule #3 violation. Your assertion on an Occurrence section being nonsensical and arbitrary is also itself nonsensical, and there had been no opposition to the inclusion of the section whatsoever since my reply on the talk page five months ago, and nobody has opposed the subsequent inclusion of it on articles except for yourself. Please at least read into and participate in the relevant conversations before advocating for a user to have their editing rights revoked simply because you don't like the changes that they make. - User-12316399 (talk) 17:40, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree that it was irresponsible to go about these mass changes without a consensus. You can't just ignore valid opposition just because you personally disagree with it and then say that because a few people supported it on Discord it can be added to the style guide. However, he hasn't made any further changes regarding this topic since you warned him on his talk page so I doubt a block would be necessary at this point. I've reverted the changes made to the style guide without consensus, but I'm not sure what to do with the actual pages themselves; should we take the time to revert each one or wait some more to see how the discussion plays out?--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 19:08, 13 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Bit of an older discussion, I know, but it's worth noting that both the Occurrence section and the loot table template have been decided against and should be removed. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 02:26, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

No spawn egg
Yo. In File:20w06a Additions.png, the hoglin spawn egg is gone while the Java Edition 20w06a page still mentions the spawn egg below that image. What is that all about? 200.25.61.8 10:30, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Zombie Piglin
The zombie piglin is a new mob, coming out in java 1.16, but there is no page on it, while there is a page on piglin, hoglin, and zombie hoglin. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.231.194.155 (talk) at 18:18, 13 April 2020 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * It's not a new mob, it's just a new model and name: Zombie Pigman. The page will be renamed once 1.16 is released. FVbico (talk) 17:32, 13 April 2020 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict) We generally use page titles that comply with the current version, rather than the development version, so we do have such a page, it's just located at Zombie Pigman. We also have zombified piglin redirecting to it, which is the new name of the mob in 1.16. However, for some reason zombie piglin is not a redirect even though it's a likely search term, so I'll create that right now. Thanks, --Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 17:34, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Lodestone Article Duplicate Information
I noticed on this article that the breaking and block loot sections have exactly the same text. However, I cannot change the text because I'm not an admin.

Can someone fix that for me? Plaba123 (talk) 01:21, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * You don't need to be an admin to edit Lodestone, the page is not protected at all. Also, I saw kind of an incosistency across some block pages in terms of the style, so Lodestone is not the only page listing such info double. Elite hog (talk) 13:35, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I've removed the duplicate section, thanks for reporting. There was a proposal to rearrange the obtaining and usage sections in a different way, which included changing the layout of the breaking section. Although this received very little support, this was carried out anyways, although I don't quite understand why it would cause the creation of two breaking sections. See this for more detail.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:47, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Also,, the reason you were not able to remove the section is because you were caught in an abuse filter. Filters are designed to prevent vandalism, but occasionally run into false positives like your edit. Since you're a registered user, once you've made a few more edits you should be able to bypass most filters.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:49, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll keep editing! Plaba123 (talk) 23:57, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Request ban User-12316399
This user not only makes a lot of useless contributions for a long time, but also arbitrarily changes the format of an item, adds a bloated loot table, and affects the editing habits of wiki. I personally say I can't stand his behavior and suggest that it be banned. -- HlDorəmonWf (TAlK · C0NTR1BZ) 13:38, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * While there have indeed been a few times in the past where I've considered a short block on him to prevent disruption, I personally don't think a block would be necessary at this point. AFAIK the only unconstructive edits he's been warned recently about are changing the structure of the obtaining and usage sections of feature pages (to add the "bloated loot table" you say) and the style guide accordingly when there's a consensus against doing so, and "bitey" edit summaries and discussion posts (i.e. being rude / borderline attacking another editor for no reason). Both of these things I haven't seen him do at all since he's been warned, so I don't think we need to escalate to a block yet, especially given how most of his tedious maintenance edits are indeed productive.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:56, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * On the other hand, looking at this, rude edit summaries appear to still be a problem. A new user who had never edited before made a good faith edit to an article which they thought was constructive, but because it was false, he reverts them just a few minutes later with a very sarcastic and bitey summary. Like I've said he's been warned many times about this in the past, so I'm not sure the best way to control this without a block. It's not just about blatant personal attacks; it's also about just generally sarcastic or rude edit summaries that are directed at specific editors making this an unpleasant environment, especially when it involves new editors like here.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 14:02, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * How about delete User-12316399's mean edit summaries? 195.181.167.195 03:18, 19 April 2020 (UTC)


 * An edit summary being "mean" alone isn't a valid reason to use revision delete, but I have already deleted the ones that are actually personal attacks (which to be fair most of them haven't been pure attacks, but rather rude, sarcastic, and bitey summaries, which although are concerning, especially against newer good faith editors, not a valid reason to hide the summary completely).--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 14:13, 19 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Bit of an older discussion, I know, but it's worth noting that both the Occurrence section and the loot table template have been decided against and should be removed. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 02:26, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

I want to make my player in java edition smaller with no mods.
Please make a tutorial on how to make player models in java edition smaller without mods. I mean by editing the game source code for singleplayer only. --Linkplayzgames1 (talk) 20:58, 18 April 2020 (UTC)Linkplayz
 * Not possible. FVbico (talk) 21:35, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Not being allowed to edit/add links
I was editing the 1.16 Java Edition page, then when i was finished, it wouldn't let me update link for other 1.16 updates to another fandom! Please fix this, and you dont have to rewrite it because i have it copied in my clipboard--165.225.9.23 16:24, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Generally, we don't link to other Minecraft wikis. The BlobsPaper.png 16:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC)


 * What you added is very unlikely to be accurate; you can't use other wikis as a source as they are often unreliable. If you're going to make so bold of a claim as 1.16 "includes other updates that had been released in early April" (which I don't understand what that means; I've never heard of anything being released in early April and even if that were the case how is that related to the upcoming 1.16 version?), you'll need an official Mojang source. Regarding not being allowed to add the links, your edits were caught in a filter designed to prevent vandalism/spam but occasionally runs into false positives. We can't disable filters for specific people; however, we can perform the edits for you if they're productive. Also, if you create an account and make a few edits with that, you should be able to bypass most filters. Thanks, --Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 18:10, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Redirect for Programmer Art?
Should there be a redirect from Programmer Art to the corresponding page? I don't know how to make one or where it would go to, but I think it would make sense. Thank you. 67.169.100.106 15:53, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * There's not currently any page related to the definition I know of Programmer Art (which is basically sketches of a program a programmer creates to test functionality but not to perfect in any way) and since it's not necessarily Minecraft-specific nor particularly important to Minecraft I doubt there would be a need to create one.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:58, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I mean the pre-Texture Update resource pack, bundled with every version since that update. 67.169.100.106 16:08, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Well, the Texture Update page lists all the old textures as well. Is Programmer Art the official name of the textures before the update or at least a common alternate name? I don't think it would be, but I could certainly be wrong.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:11, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Check the resource pack menu in 1.14 and newer. It shows "Default" and "Programmer Art", which is described as "The classic look of Minecraft". 67.169.100.106 16:15, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I see, thanks. I probably should've done my research before making assumptions. :D


 * We don't have a page specifically for the old textures or resource pack, but since it's mentioned in Texture Update I've gone ahead and redirected it there, as well as the "Classic Textures" that it's called in Bedrock Edition. The redirects could be a bit confusing considering the texture update is actually their exact opposite, but of all the pages we have it's probably the most appropiate page to redirect it to (and I don't see a reason to split the old textures into their own page).--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:21, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. 67.169.100.106 16:42, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Are schematics not rendering correctly?
Trying to view a page that uses schematics (https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Help:Schematic, https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Mechanics/Redstone/Memory_circuit) the schematics are mostly empty, except for text (https://imgur.com/a/SZJovpZ).

Coral Fans redlink
Please fix the redlink by recreating the redirect Coral Fans to Coral fans. 49.228.176.243 09:55, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * There is no reason for such a redirect to exist, since the Coral Fan page will just appear as you start typing Coral Fans. Honestly, I am not sure why we have the Coral fans redirect. The BlobsPaper.png 15:51, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, the search suggestions take a minute to show up, so it's not true that they will appear immediately when you start typing Coral Fans. The redirect also useful for linking; it's impractical to go through every single edit made by anyone to make sure they use the format Coral fans instead of Coral fans (and for all other items with potential plural forms). Furthermore, redirects are absolutely harmless; they take up barely any space and they don't clutter the search bar because the "actual main page" takes priority when searching, making any redirects to that page that are in a similar format not show up at all. In addition, the current style guide allows any alternate capitalization or form, meaning that both Coral Fans and Coral fans would be valid redirects. Citing existing rules/guidelines as I did isn't a reason for supporting/opposing a proposal, but that's not the purpose of this particular discussion.


 * The redirect was actually created as Coral Fans initially, but moved to Coral fans (which is not an appropriate way of deleting or creating redirects, as it makes the edit histories confusing).--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:26, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

All the sprites are organized into categories below; you can add one by clicking "New image" in the sprite-editing toolbar. When you're done, click save. It's a pretty simple and user-friendly way to update both the image and the module as needed at the same time.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 14:47, 20 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Ok, but how do you create an image? Minecraftexpert123 (talk) 15:54, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The icon can be found in the game files. Use an image editor to add it to the sprite sheet image. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Blobs2 (talk • contribs) at 16:42, 20 May 2020 (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * No i mean how do you create a new sprite image? Minecraftexpert123 (talk) 16:54, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Do you mean add an icon for a specific sprite? If so, we've already answered that; just edit the sprite and click "New image" and Blobs explained how you create the image itself to begin with. If you're talking about a whole new sprite sheet, I'm not sure exactly why we'd need one. Please elaborate on what you mean by "new sprite image", as what I thought you meant by that doesn't seem to be what you're referring to.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:59, 20 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I mean create a new sprite (one that doesnt exist,like the sprite for non-renewable resources in enviroment.)Minecraftexpert123 (talk) 17:11, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Again, you download the sprite sheet you want to expand, and add the sprite using an image editor. Once you have the new sprite sheet, upload it as a new version of the file. The BlobsPaper.png 19:44, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Can you give a small tutorial on how to do so? Minecraftexpert123 (talk) 21:47, 20 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Go to the sprite sheet you want to edit, for example BlockSprite. Click "Edit Sprite". Click "New Image". Upload a 16x16 image. I do not know what else to say, it really is that simple. – KnightMiner  · (t) 21:35, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Question
Why can't I edit the talk page of the main page? 111.88.15.200 10:40, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The talk page was semi-protected in 2013 because it is "99% junk". However, there has been a more recent movement to avoid indefinite protections.
 * If there is a good reason to keep the talk page protected, you can still propose changes here, or at Talk:Minecraft Wiki/editcopy. The BlobsPaper.png 15:19, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Around the block
There is a new series called Around the block,which circles about biomes,which a page should be added and also on the main page as an article on the main page pls

 * Sorry for being a little bit late, but I think he is referring to this article published on minecraft.net. Note that, in the meantime, another article of "Around the Block" has been written. Sagessylu (discuss | edits) 14:11, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Protect Marketplace page
Marketplace keeps getting vandalized by an IP address. -Pepijn (talk) 20:28, 13 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Looks like they've stopped, but if it happens again warn them on their talk page. IPs don't get a notification if their edit is reverted AFAIK, and they may not know the History tab exists. Also, one IP disruptively editing usually isn't a reason to protect a page; warn them, try to get them to discuss, and if they refuse then contact an admin to block them.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:48, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

 * I appreciate your bringing this to our attention, but this isn't really admin-specific; in fact you're absolutely welcome to update it yourself! I don't know much about the VR version so I'd prefer not to update it personally, but it is marked as a stub so if you aren't able to update it hopefully another editor will be. Let me know if you need any help with editing.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:45, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

A tutorial for creating an infinite water source in only one block of water
We need more Tutorials for this Wiki, but it is vanilla. I found two ways to create an infinite water source in only one block. It is also possible on survival. Can we do it? Minelogic (talk) 05:19, 16 June 2020 (UTC)


 * If that's really the case, could you take some screenshots demonstrating this so we can figure out where to add it? You can upload images at Special:Upload and then add the image here using the syntax FILENAMEWITHEXTENSIONHERE . Unless it's something very intricate and detailed I doubt we'd need a whole tutorial on it, but it's certainly something should be added to this.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:40, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Remove the word filter for "S*xy!"
The splash "S*xy!" was changed to "Moderately attractive!" in 1.16 pre-3. However, the Wiki currently states that it used to be "Shrek see!", because the word it used to be is blocked; S-e-x-y-!. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by User-100192636 (talk • contribs) at 19 June 2020 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * Unfortunately, we can't disable filters for certain people; and since this is one of only a few cases where such a word could be used constructively, it doesn't make sense to remove the filter completely. However, if you run into a problem like this again, do let us know here, and we can certainly perform the edit for you. Additionally, once you have made at least 5 or so edits while logged in you will be exempt from most abuse filters. In this case, another user has already fixed the issue.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 18:20, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Someone removed the old .json code in a tutorial
I was browsing about behaviour packs and a way to make one, then I found that the manifest.json example in https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Creating_behavior_packs was very different from the one in resource packs tutorial.

Can you rollback the changes? Btw I already found the right files in Mojang's Vanilla Behaviour Pack example, so I can still progress through the tutorial.

Thank you.

Editing Talk:Minecraft Wiki (section)
I can't edit in the Talk section of a page. I sincerely don't appreciate it. I'm not using a VPN, nor a proxy. I'm getting this error:

Error: Your action has been disallowed by an automated edit filter. A brief description of the matched rule(s) for your action is: Extra protection for frequent spam targets

Thanks for checking. --Jahus (talk) 14:08, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The filter was implemented because ordinary protection has pretty much just two modes: 1) stop unregistered users only; 2) stop everyone but administrators. The page used to get a lot of edits (and looking at the filter's logs, still gets some every now and then) from new accounts that aren't appropriate for that page. While the talk page is intended solely to discuss the main page itself (which is, admittedly, what you were doing), people use it as a help desk, suggestions platform for Mojang, or a place to post of promotional material, gibberish, or non-English text.
 * Your edit causing a false positive activation of the edit filter is unfortunate (especially for someone's first experience). I implemented a warning notice specifically for that page, but I'm not certain all editors will see it.
 * As for your comment itself, I'm not sure the RTX beta from Xbox Insider would be a good fit for the main page given it's not even a "mainstream" development version. The combat test snapshots aren't there either, so I guess a discussion could be started for whether to include them. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 14:53, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Thanks for letting us know; for now I've created strider jockey as a redirect to the Strider page, so anyone searching for the former will automatically be taken to the latter. I don't think there's enough information about the strider jockey in particular that can't be said on the Strider page to warrant a separate article, but then again looking at other pages like Spider jockey this does seem to be done for other rideable mobs. If you think it should be its own page, I'd recommend starting a discussion on Talk:Strider.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 01:39, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Nether update biomes
You really need to add the description of the Nether biomes and what they are like you can take screenshots of all the different biomes so players like myself could see what they all look like I have never seen the Nether Wastelands and the basalt deltas I don't even know what they look like.
